🔥 Read Parents for Safe Online Spaces member Kim Osterman’s op-ed on the importance of resisting the AI state law moratorium and her call to #passKOSA. www.coloradopolitics.com/opinion/for-...
After leading the effort to strip the state AI law moratorium from the Big Beautiful Bill, Sen. Marsha Blackburn says that until Congress passes bills like her Kids Online Safety Act "states have every right to take action to protect their residents."
Thank you, Sen. Blackburn! #PassKOSA
The #KidsOnlineSafety Act continues to gain momentum!📈
Sen. Mark Kelly says he's cosponsoring KOSA to "give parents more tools to protect their kids" and "finally hold tech companies accountable for putting profits ahead of kids’ safety" #PassKOSA

Survey says! Almost half of young people would rather live in a world where the internet doesn’t exist, and 70% of 16- to 21-year-olds feel worse about themselves after spending time on social media.
It doesn't have to be this way! #PassKOSA

Shame on Meta for pulling a PR stunt instead of actually making its platforms safe 🤡 If Zuck wanted to protect kids online, he would support life-saving legislation like KOSA and COPPA 2.0 #PassKOSA
Read our Executive Director Josh Golin’s statement: bit.ly/4lgSYER
It’s been 14 months since Zuck apologized to
ParentsSOS members, & we are STILL begging Congress to protect our kids and #passKOSA.
🎯 In her new op-ed, Joann Bogard calls that apology “smoke and mirrors” & demands Congress do something to #ProtectOurKids this year.

‼️Financial sextortion is on the rise in the US. No parent should have to wonder how to protect their children from predators on the internet.

"Why would we run such a large, uncontrolled experiment on the most important people in the world, which is the next generation?" - former Google CEO Eric Schmidt on kids & social media #PassKOSA

Stories like Mary’s, who lost her 15-year-old son to online exploitation, are why we will keep pushing Congress to #PassKOSA in 2025. Kids’ safety can’t wait.
Important read 👇
Parents can’t do it all. The Kids Online Safety Act establishes a duty of care for social media companies that creates a shared responsibility for protecting kids online. #PassKOSA www.usnews.com/opini...
Social media companies are spending fortunes to block bipartisan legislation that would require a basic duty of care toward their young users. Excess wealth does not justify a lack of responsibility. #PassKOSA https://buff.ly/3ZTKry2
Disappointing news, but we have to keep pushing. #PassKOSA
In response to reporting that Congress excluded the Kids Online Safety Act from its end of year spending package, our VP of Tech Reform Alix Fraser offered the following statement: issueone.org/press/congre...
2/ “The Speaker is virtually alone in the United States Congress… Republicans in the House and the Senate favor it. Democrats in the House and the Senate strongly support it.” – Sen. Richard Blumenthal #PassKOSA

KOSA ON THE LINE: GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn tells CNN’s Manu Raju it's crucial for Speaker Johnson to allow a vote to #PassKOSA this week: "The risk for waiting until next year is that you still have a virtual space where children are not protected… This needs to be done.”
