The Kids Online Safety Act: A Historic Move
The last time Congress passed a law to protect children on the internet was 26 years ago.
Why Now?
This long pause in regulation comes at a time when children are increasingly exposed to social media and digital dangers.

- Creating practical guidelines
- Ensuring oversight and compliance
As discussions continue, the resolution of this debate will shape the future of online safety.
