US House passes youth online safety legislation

The US House of Representatives passed the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act on June 29, 2026, requiring online platforms to implement safeguards for children, such as limiting addictive features and protecting them from harms like sexual exploitation. The bill received bipartisan support with a 267-117 vote. It marks the House's first major effort to address online child safety since the Senate passed a similar bill in 2024. The legislation could lead to a potential conflict between the House and Senate versions, as the Senate's approach includes a 'duty of care' requirement for social media companies. Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee is working with the White House to secure broader support for the measure.
