Meta Platforms has shifted its position to support the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), a bill aimed at improving online safety for children by overriding fragmented state AI laws and requiring age verification on app stores like Google and Apple. Previously opposing KOSA over free speech concerns, Meta now favors the bill as it shifts some child safety responsibilities from social media platforms to app stores. This move aligns with broader global efforts, including recent UK and Canadian legislation, to regulate children's access to social media and enhance protections. The bill's progress remains uncertain as some lawmakers express concerns about potential weakening of its provisions.
