Senate set to debate package of bills on privacy, AI and kids safety

The Senate is set to debate five bills addressing online privacy, AI, and children's safety, with the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) requiring platforms to exercise 'reasonable care' for minors' data and design. The bill, sponsored by Marsha Blackburn and Richard Blumenthal, faces opposition from some advocacy groups due to weakened provisions in the House version, while large tech companies supported earlier drafts. The markup also includes the SCREEN Act, which would require age verification for social media users.
