Calls on Congress to pass the Kids Online Safety Act to protect children from online risks.
The Alaska Legislature urges Congress to pass the Kids Online Safety Act, which aims to safeguard children and adolescents from online risks. The act would require online platforms to implement safeguards, including default privacy protections, limits on compulsive design features, and options to opt out of harmful algorithmic recommendations. It would also mandate transparency requirements, independent audits, and public reporting on usage and efforts to mitigate harm. The act establishes a Kids Online Safety Council to advise Congress on emerging risks and best practices.
