00:02The U.S. House passed the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act on Monday in a 267 to 117 vote,
00:10with support from Democrats and Republicans, according to Reuters.
00:13The bill would require online platforms to provide safeguards for children
00:17as Congress increases scrutiny of youth harms online. Companies would have to offer ways for
00:22children to limit addictive features and adopt policies to protect children from harms,
00:27including sexual exploitation. The vote sets up a potential clash with the Senate,
00:32where lawmakers support stricter standards. The Senate passed the Kids Online Safety Act in a
00:3791 to 3 vote in 2024. That bill would impose a duty of care on social media companies for young
00:44users.
