The U.S. House passes the Kids Internet and Digital Safety (KIDS) Act, advancing a package of bills intended to improve child online safety. The measure marks the first time a version of the landmark Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) moves out of the lower chamber. The House approves the KIDS Act in a 267–117 vote, with 47 members not voting. Reporting from multiple outlets describes the bill as a watered-down version of KOSA, reflecting changes made during its legislative process. The action also comes amid pushback from watchdog and advocacy groups that have raised concerns about aspects of the proposal, including how it would operate and what it requires from platforms. After passage in the House, the legislation faces further consideration, including debate and potential revisions in the Senate. The final outcome could differ from the version approved by the House depending on negotiations and additional scrutiny. The House vote signals momentum for federal efforts aimed at limiting potentially harmful content and experiences for minors online, within the framework of the KIDS Act’s provisions.
