Sens. Blumenthal and Blackburn's Kids Online Safety Act gains bipartisan Senate support, led by Majority Leader Schumer, ensuring filibuster-proof status.
"This overwhelming bipartisan support for the Kids Online Safety Act—62 total co-sponsors, Democrats and Republicans—reflects the powerful voices of young people and parents who want Congress to act," lawmakers said in a joint statement.

The fresh legislation comes just a few weeks after the CEOs of Discord, Snap, TikTok, X and Meta testified before a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to discuss online child safety. It also addresses conerns raised by groups who opposed the legislation when it was first rolled out last year due to what they believed would be harmful to LGBTQ+ children.
