Congress lags on kids’ social media protections
Congress has not reached consensus on social media safety regulations for children, despite growing international efforts to ban platforms for teenagers under 16. While countries like Australia and Indonesia have implemented such bans, U.S. lawmakers face legal challenges linked to the First Amendment. A House bill addressing online safety excludes a 'duty of care' provision, complicating Senate negotiations.
