House strikes bipartisan bargain on Kids Online Safety Act
House Energy and Commerce leaders reached a bipartisan deal on the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) as part of the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, moving it via an expedited process but requiring Senate reconciliation; the House version would preempt some state laws and AI rules and omits the Democrats' 'duty of care' standard, while a White House-backed package aims to combine the Senate’s KOSA with additional AI and app-store measures, setting the stage for further negotiations and potential alignment with Meta.
