Kids are getting harmed by social media.

Social media companies put profits over people.

Legislation to protect kids online has not passed since 1998.

It is way passed time get force Big Tech to protect kids.

The answer is the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).


Big Tech is working hard to lobby against KOSA and convince us that it is a censorship bill (it is not).


In this conversation with legislative expert, Patrick Lyden, we break down the elements of KOSA and negate the pushback.


KOSA passed the Senate in July 91-3.

KOSA now sits in the House and needs your support. What is KOSA?

How can you support KOSA? KOSA is a federal bill that will save childrens' lives.

**Contact your Representatives in the House; ask them to pass KOSA now before we lose more children to online harms!

**Visit House.gov, enter your ZIP code then message or call your Rep.
