Child online safety bill vote expected on Tuesday in Senate


A bipartisan child online safety bill will see a final vote on Tuesday in Senate.

According to the office of Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., one of the lead sponsors of the bill, the legislation is aimed at holding "Big Tech accountable for harms to kids and provide transparency into black box algorithms."

The legislation, the Kids Online Safety Act, cleared a hurdle last week in a 86-1 vote, which moved it closer to final passage in the Senate.

Blackburn has called on the House to pass the legislation.

“We have broad bipartisan support in the House. I’ve talked with a lot of former House colleagues, and they are ready to move forward on this. They want a vote on the floor, so we’re encouraged by that and by support from leadership to move this forward,” she said in a statement.
