Today, the Senate made a significant bipartisan move to improve online safety for children, addressing the impact of social media on youth mental health.
Current laws are outdated and inadequate, and action is needed to protect children from the harms of online platforms. This bill, which aligns with the Unity Agenda from the State of the Union, seeks to enhance privacy protections, ban targeted advertising to minors, and prevent tech companies from collecting children's data.
This is crucial given the advancements in AI and the long time since Congress last updated online safety regulations. The bill now needs to pass the House and reach the President for final approval.
