The Senate passes COPPA 2.0 by unanimous consent! Sponsor Ed Markey, who made the request, slammed the version that the House is marking up as weak and partisan. Rep. Castor announces it as good news in the markup

The Senate's unanimous and bipartisan passage of COPPA 2.0 is a major milestone in the fight to protect children and teens online. I'm ready to work with my colleagues in the House to pass COPPA 2.0 into law. Let's get this done. [image]

THE SENATE JUST PASSED A BILL (COPPA 2.0) THAT WOULD REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION ON ALL ONLINE PLATFORMS. This isn't about “protecting children”, it's about mass surveillance.

Democrats claim they want to protect kids. They'll have a chance to go on the record and prove it. Vote for the KIDS Act. Vote for COPPA 2.0. Vote for Sammy's Law. Vote for the App Store Accountability Act. [video]
