Common Ground: Keeping Social Media Safe For Our Kids

On Tuesday, the Kids Online Safety Act passed with flying colors — as lawmakers echoed support for the bill’s aim to protect children from dangerous content online and keep social media companies accountable. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), the two lawmakers who introduced the bill, discuss their reaction to the bill passing with an overwhelming 91 to 3 vote despite deep divisions on Capitol Hill, how they believe the legislation could save lives, and their response to concerns that the bill targets First Amendment Rights.

The lawmakers also share their thoughts on this week’s joint Senate hearing examining the security failures that led to the assassination attempt on former President Trump.
