U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, voted in favor of the Kids Online Safety and Privacy Act today. The legislation aims to protect children from online dangers associated with social media and provide parents with necessary tools. It combines the Kids Online Safety Act, which Senator Capito helped introduce, and the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act 2.0, of which she is a cosponsor. The bill passed with a vote of 91-3 and now moves to the U.S. House of Representatives.
