KIDS Act

Common card · No. 481251

The Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act (KIDS Act) is proposed legislation in the United States first introduced in March 2026. The bill includes parts of legislation such as the Kids Online Safety Act, the SCREEN Act, SAFE BOTS Act, COPPA 2.0, the SPY Kids Act, and more. Notably, it removed provisions from the Kids Online Safety Act that required a duty of care system, but would still require large-scale age verification across social platforms. Though it is meant to ensure child safety on social networking websites, advocates such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation argue that systems’ relying on government-issued identification or biometric age estimation could chill anonymous speech by discouraging users from sharing sensitive information online.
