The U.S. House has passed the bipartisan KIDS Act, legislation championed by Rep. Kathy Castor to strengthen online privacy and safety protections for children and teens. The bill expands privacy safeguards to teens under 18, bans targeted advertising to young people, and gives families more tools to protect children online while holding tech companies accountable. Castor called the measure a long-overdue step toward creating a safer digital environment for America’s youth.
