The House passed a bipartisan package of children’s online safety bills in a 267-117 vote Monday, advancing legislation that supporters say would better protect children online but critics warn could threaten privacy and free expression.
The bipartisan Kids Internet and Digital Safety (KIDS) Act, championed by its sponsors as a way to protect children online and hold major technology companies accountable, would require new safety features and parental controls on online platforms, restrict the use of minors’ data for targeted advertising, require age verification for pornography websites and establish new rules governing AI chatbots and online games.
“This is a major step toward a safer online world for kids, making safety the default, giving parents more tools to protect their children and teens, and holding Big Tech accountable,” the House Energy and Commerce Committee wrote in a social media post announcing its win.

This is usually a govt Trojan horse to curtail online anonymity.
Agreed.
Headline is funny......big tech wrote this abortion of a Bill to begin with. It’s all B.S. as this is another obstacle for VPN usage, nothing more.
Their garbage will make it easier for the perverts to find and pray on children
It will create a database of children
Since the 90s, “it’s for the children” has been government codewords for “were about to do something to you you’d never agree with unless we gaslit you about it first”
Anytime you see “It is for the Children” you don’t need to look any further to know it is a Leftist proposal.
All moral people can agree that pornography is an immoral and bad thing. And Leftists are the most immoral bad people in this nation, so it begs the question:
Why are they seeking to implement this legislation?
After all, immorality, open sexuality, homosexuality, transsexuality, and pornography are all things that run counter to the family unit and religion, so...if they believe all these things, which is undeniable (except by them, of course) why would they be trying to curtail them?
The truth is, they aren’t trying to curtail them. They are trying to curtail something else.
Yes. See my post above. You get it, FRiend...for certain.
Also politicians have no clue about the internet and how it works ,LOL
Nancy Pelosi’s “it’s for the children” daycare made the Scamalis RICH ,LOL
Kids will find a work around the second it hits the Internet - just as they do at schools to get around school filters.
Either that or a willing adult will log on for them - just as they sign for them to get tattoos when they’re minors - saw it at the school where I taught all the time. Ditto for alcohol.
Unfortunately.
Why would the govt be trying to curtail things that run
counter to the family unit, and that lefty bugaboo, religion?
As we have come to expect.......when they say it’s
“for the children,” they have their own hidden agenda.
Everyone of us will have to prove we are not children.
I believe this is for most everything, not just porn and social media..
It’s a way of total government monitoring of your internet usage.
At least they won’t be preying on them. ;)
Everyone of us will have to prove we are not children.
= = =
I frequently have to prove I am a human.
My dog, however, has learned how to click the mouse and he can still order on-line dog treats.
I can’t understand why they can’t move all pornography to a specific location so kids and adults don’t accidentally see it when doing searches.
I doubt it will actually work to keep children safe from pornography. Since a great deal of pornographic material is on school library shelves.
You are I believe correct in its true purpose.
Make a law that states any website that displays any pornographic material at all must have an .XXX extension. Then filter locally.
