Senate Passes Kids Privacy, Safety Bill (mediapost.com)
The Senate on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a bill that would impose sweeping restrictions on tech companies’ ability to serve content to minors and handle their data.

The Kids Online Safety and Privacy Act, approved 91-3, combines two previously separate bills — the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), introduced by Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut), and the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0), introduced by Senators Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts) and Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana).
