The bills, called the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and the Children and Teens' Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0), passed with a strong bipartisan consensus, 91-3.
COPPA 2.0 updates a 1998 law to raise the maximum age of children covered to 17 and includes biometric indicators in the definition of personal information.
While COPPA has been broadly celebrated as an overdue improvement to the country's meager digital privacy protections, KOSA has been mired in controversy for years.
