Newswise — The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), a bipartisan bill passed by the Senate to enhance online safety for children, is facing resistance in the House. House GOP leadership expresses concerns over potential censorship and overreach, despite broad Senate support.
Advocates remain hopeful, citing the urgency of addressing online harms and the potential to pass the bill before the year ends. The bill's future is uncertain, with the House considering possible markups and strategic legislative maneuvers.
