The New York Children's Online Safety Act (NYCOSA) aims to regulate how minors communicate on social networks, directly addressing safety concerns raised by parents.
NYCOSA includes provisions that would require platforms frequented by minors to make profiles private by default, thereby enhancing online privacy and protecting youth from strangers.
This new legislation marks a significant expansion in children's online safety laws, reflecting a growing concern about platforms like Roblox that were previously overlooked.
Senator Andrew Gounardes emphasized that many parents are worried about children's interactions on platforms like Roblox, which prompted the creation of the NYCOSA.
