Heritage Action for America, the advocacy arm of conservative think tank Heritage Foundation, urged the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Friday to advance legislation meant to boost kids\u2019 safety and privacy online.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a letter to committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), Heritage Action President Kevin Roberts argued that the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) \u201crepresents our best opportunity to implement meaningful protections for children online this Congress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The legislation, which would create a duty\u00a0for social media platforms to prevent and mitigate harms to minors,\u00a0passed the Senate<\/a> in a 91-3 vote in late July. It was part of a package that also included the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act, which would increase data privacy protections for minors.<\/p>\n
