Kids’ safety advocates draw red lines for Senate online safety package

A coalition of 60 child safety groups urged Senate Commerce Committee leaders to prioritize robust online safety legislation requiring tech companies to mitigate known harms to children. They criticized the House's recent bill for lacking a 'duty of care' standard and called for state AI laws to remain unpreempted. Sen. Andy Kim introduced a bill modeled after a California law to ensure age-appropriate content for children.
