MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — The U.S. Senate passes landmark legislation to protect kids online.
Support for the pair of bills was bipartisan and overwhelming, with Wisconsin Democrat Tammy Baldwin and Republican Ron Johnson joining 89 other senators in sending the measures to the House.
The legislation would force online platforms to take “reasonable” steps to prevent harms to children such as bullying, drug addiction and sexual exploitation, and would expand existing federal privacy protections to include those 16 years old and younger.
Both bills have bipartisan support in the House.
