The Kids Online Safety Act, aimed at protecting children from online harm, is facing significant hurdles in the House despite passing the Senate with broad support. Major tech companies, including Meta and Alphabet, have engaged in extensive lobbying efforts, bringing up cultural and ideological concerns to sway lawmakers against the bill. The proposed legislation is designed to impose a 'duty of care' on tech platforms to address issues like mental health and bullying, but strategic pushback from the tech industry has stalled its progress.
