Considerations for Protecting Kids Online
Trade-offs, concerns and recommendations
Multiple bills introduced in the 118th Congress seek to increase protections for minors online by creating requirements for website operators.
Some examples include the Kids Online Safety Act (S. 1409), Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act (S. 1418), Social Media Child Protection Act (H.R. 821), Sammy’s Law of 2023 (H.R. 5778) and EARN It Act of 2023 (H.R. 2732/S. 1207).
