Kids are getting harmed by social media.

Social media companies are choosing profits over kids.

Legislation to protect kids online has not passed since 1998.

We need to force Big Tech to protect our kids.

The answer is the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).


In this conversation with legislative expert, Patrick Lyden, we break down everything you need to know about the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), including:

  • Why was KOSA originally drafted?

  • Why has it taken over 2 years for KOSA to pass the Senate?

  • What is the pushback against KOSA?

  • Will KOSA limit free speech?

  • What is happening with KOSA in the House of Representatives?

  • How do we (as parents) help in getting our kids protected online?


KOSA passed the Senate in July 91-3. KOSA now sits in the House and needs your support.



How can you support KOSA?

KOSA is a federal bill that will save childrens' lives. Contact your Representatives in the House; ask them to pass KOSA now before we lose more children to online harms!
