Congressman Nick Langworthy released the following statement:
"Last night, the House passed the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act (KIDS Act) with strong bipartisan support. As a father of two, I know parents-not Big Tech-should be in the driver's seat when it comes to protecting our kids online. Families deserve real tools to shield children from online predators, addictive algorithms, scams, dangerous and illegal products, explicit content, and the emerging risks posed by AI. This bill gives parents more control, strengthens privacy protections for children, updates outdated online safety laws, and holds Big Tech accountable for putting profits ahead of our kids' well-being. Our children deserve a safer internet, and tonight the House took an important step toward making that happen. Now it's time for the Senate to follow suit."
