June 29 : The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation on Monday that would require online platforms to provide some safeguards for children.
The Kids Internet and Digital Safety (KIDS) Act would require companies to offer ways for kids to limit addictive features and put in place policies to protect children from some harms including sexual exploitation.
The bill passed 267-117 with support from both Democrats and Republicans. The U.S. Senate is considering a similar bill that would impose a “duty of care” on social media companies when it comes to young users.
