The version of the Kids Online Safety Act that passed through a House committee this week is promising for progress on social media regulation despite the bill’s imperfections.

Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) introduced KOSA in 2022, and it has gone through a few revisions since. Some lawmakers are disappointed with the version of the bill they are seeing in the House. How they reach agreement on this point will determine whether the bill continues.
