KOSA (Kids Online Safety Act)

Last reviewed by Moderation API

KOSA is proposed US federal legislation that would impose a duty of care on online platforms to prevent and mitigate specific harms to minors, including content promoting suicide, eating disorders, substance abuse, and sexual exploitation. It would also require platforms to provide stronger default privacy settings, parental tools, and transparency reporting for users under 17.
