US Senate passes landmark online child safety bill despite concerns over potential harm to children

The US Senate has passed a bill aimed at protecting children from online harm, known as the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). Despite concerns that the bill may inadvertently harm children, it has been approved by the Senate. The bill is considered a major step forward in addressing online child safety, marking the first significant legislation in years to address this issue. However, some critics have raised concerns that the bill may have unintended consequences, such as limiting children's access to online content and potentially driving them to more secretive and less regulated online spaces.
