The Senate advanced sweeping legislation to safeguard children online, moving towards passage despite potential complications in the House due to free speech concerns and industry lobbying efforts. The bill aims to revamp digital privacy and safety laws amidst the dominance of online platforms in youth's lives.
The legislation, primarily driven by parents who lost children to online bullying and harassment, seeks to establish a duty of care for social networking platforms to shield minors from various harms. Technology companies and groups like ACLU are resisting, citing content moderation burdens and free speech limitations.
