The Kids Online Safety and Privacy Act (KOSPA) is a new comprehensive bill aimed at enhancing protections for minors against online threats like sexual exploitation and violence. It merges two previous bills: the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0). On July 30, the U.S. Senate approved KOSPA with a 91-3 vote, and it now moves to the House of Representatives. This legislation is notable as it updates online child protection measures for the first time since 1998.
