 However, one of the bills included in the House package, known as the Kids Online Safety Act, omits the “duty of care” provision, which is central to a Senate bill with the same name. The absence of that provision has drawn criticism from child safety advocates and a bipartisan group of senators, including KOSA sponsor Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who is working with the White House on her own kids’ safety package that could ultimately block or replace some state AI laws.

Concern tech companies would exploit misunderstanding between the 2 bills

The KIDS’ Act would additionally restrict minors’ use of disappearing messages, require AI chatbots to disclose that they are not human and require platforms to implement age verification technology for users accessing pornographic material, among other measures.

Privacy advocates are concerned about language they believe incentivizes age verification measures to access all online services.

“All users, including kids, deserve strong privacy protections, not mandates to hand over more and more personal details whenever they go online,” the Center for Democracy and Technology’s Free Expression Project Director Kate Ruane said in a statement.

 Bipartisan deal for the KIDS Act emerged in the House Energy and Commerce Committee last week, which would create baseline federal standards for kids’ online safety while allowing states to adopt more aggressive protections. It also omits language preempting state artificial intelligence laws — a major Silicon Valley priority Senate Republicans are expected to take up.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) said the bill was “a good first step,” saying it establishes federal preemption as a floor rather than a ceiling. “It’s not how I would write the bill. But we’re not in the majority,” Lieu said.

Key Democratic House members have come out in support of the package, including Lori Trahan of Massachusetts and Sam Liccardo of California, who have urged their caucus not to let perfection trump what they describe as a strong compromise.
