GFWC LEGISLATIVE ACTION CENTER – SUPPORT KIDS’ ONLINE SAFETY
GFWC Legislation & Public Policy Committee announces support of a federal bipartisan bill to protect children when using social media platforms.
The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) establishes a legally-relevant “duty of care” for social media companies; requiring these platforms to alter design features, such as algorithms, that can harm children. The bill is written to especially protect marginalized and vulnerable minors from rampant online harms, such as: sexual exploitation, romantic fantasies, illicit drugs, suicide, harassment, eating disorder content, and more. It is critically important to hold social media companies accountable and to ensure parents have the tools, safeguards, and transparency they need to help protect young people in the virtual space.
We hope you will join GFWC in support of this important legislation and encourage all CFWC club members to use the Legislation Action Center’s automatic-message process to log their support.
