The Senate Commerce Committee has voted to advance the latest version of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), Politico reports, opening a path for a Senate floor vote. The House of Representatives already passed its own version of the bill as part of the larger Kids Internet and Digital Safety (KIDS) Act in June, which bundles KOSA with COPPA 2.0, a children-and-teens-focused privacy law. While pushing KOSA through committee opens up the possibility for a vote, the version of the bill the House passed features some key distinctions from the Senate's take. Disagreements in both houses over the finer details of the bill have led to it being abandoned in previous years, including in 2024, the last time the Senate passed KOSA. The Senate's current version requires social media apps to provide ways for children and teens to opt out of addictive features like algorithmic recommendations.
