90+ groups warn US Senate of 'damaging consequences' from Kids Online Safety Act
US legislation that aims to protect kids' online safety and data privacy will have"damaging unintended consequences for young people," according to more than 90 privacy and civil rights groups.
"Older minors have their own independent rights to privacy and access to information, and not every parent-child dynamic is healthy or constructive," the groups."KOSA risks subjecting teens who are experiencing domestic violence and parental abuse to additional forms of digital surveillance and control that could prevent these vulnerable youths from reaching out for help or support.
Senators Richard Blumenthal and Marsha Blackburn , introduced the legislation in February in response to media "Big Tech has brazenly failed children and betrayed its trust, putting profits above safety," Blumenthalat the time."The Kids Online Safety Act would finally give kids and their parents the tools and safeguards they need to protect against toxic content — and hold Big Tech accountable for deeply dangerous algorithms."
