Elon Musk's X Collaborates on Bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act to Enhance Child Protection as Children Spend 5-8 Hours Online
Dec 7, 2024, 07:41 PM
The bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) is gaining momentum as key stakeholders, including Elon Musk's X social media platform, work towards its passage. The act aims to enhance online safety for minors, addressing concerns about bullying and exploitation on digital platforms. Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X, confirmed that the company collaborated with US senators to refine the bill's language, ensuring it balances child protection with freedom of speech. This initiative comes as children are reported to spend an average of 5-8 hours online daily, highlighting the urgent need for regulations that hold tech companies accountable for harmful content. The revised bill is now being pushed for approval in the Republican-led House before the year's end.
