  The Kids Online Safety Act is advancing to the Senate floor. We must pass this critical, lifesaving legislation to protect kids and hold Big Tech accountable. .@SenBlumenthal [image]

• @senblumenthal Richard Blumenthal on x

  As I sat in today's Commerce Committee markup it was clear that Congress is ready to take action to protect kids online. I am thrilled that my bill with @MarshaBlackburn, the Kids Online Safety Act, passed unanimously out of committee & is headed to the Senate floor. [image]

  I am proud that my COPPA 2.0 legislation to reign in Big Tech and protect young people's privacy online just advanced unopposed through the Commerce Committee. We are one step closer to stopping Big Tech from tracking, targeting and traumatizing young people online.

  At Senate Commerce markup of KOSA/COPPA 2.0. Cruz, the top Republican, says he'll support both after working out “significant and good improvements” to both but says more changes may be needed before floor vote, including adding state preemption to KOSA

  As @SenateCommerce @commercedems begin to markup KOSA / COPPA 2.0 today, TPA urges opposition. Protecting internet users of all ages begins and ends with data privacy and security. We hope Senators will consider these concerns and oppose these bills. https://protectingtaxpayers.o…

  NEW - @commercedems favorably reported out KOSA and COPPA 2.0 to increase kids online safety and privacy protections, on @POLITICOPro with @alfredwng https://subscriber.politicopro.com/ ...

  KOSA & COPPA 2.0 risk the privacy & security of Americans & kids online. Instead, lawmakers should consider 4 meaningful, constitutional solutions that will empower law enforcement to stop child predators and equip Americans & their families to develop healthy digital habits. [im…

  .@SenateCommerce @commercedems should say NO to KOSA & COPPA 2.0 today during their markup. A 🧵 on just a few of the reasons why:

• @zamaan_qureshi Zamaan Qureshi on x

  Today, the Senate Commerce Committee took a critical step to protect kids/teens online by advancing the KOSA and COPPA 2.0 out of committee, in a unanimous, bipartisan fashion. Now we look to @SenSchumer to bring this legislation for a full Senate vote. https://designitforus.org/…

• @cendemtech @cendemtech on x

  As the Senate Commerce Committee votes on #KOSA & #COPPA 2.0 this morning, CDT calls for members to reject these bills that jeopardize all users' privacy & free expression rights, & enable state AGs to further censor legally-protected speech for & by marginalized voices.

  With today's Senate markup in the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee about to start, check out my thread (with linked threads that include other threads!) on KOSA and COPPA 2.0: https://www.commerce.senate.gov/ ...

  why the KOSA bill is not something to be taken lightly! [image]

• @evan_greer @evan_greer on x

  Fortunately, more and more people are realizing that #KOSA is basically a “Don't Say Gay” bill for the entire internet. Tens of thousands of people have already taken action today at https://badinternetbills.com/

• @senatorshoshana @senatorshoshana on x

  We got this out later than we hoped to, but it's important. KOSA functionally requires age verification. That means face scans/govt ID. For Every. Social. Media. Site.

  President Biden and Senate Dems are pushing KOSA, which the Heritage Foundation has boasted they will use to ban LGBTQ content online. This is a profoundly bad bill. [image]
