Meta Seeks Legal Shield for Kids Online

Meta Seeks Legal Shield for Kids Online

Published 21 hours ago
Description

Meta’s pushing Congress for legal immunity from lawsuits claiming its platforms harm kids online, after facing massive jury verdicts in New Mexico and Los Angeles. Their proposal would shield them from state law claims related to youth safety and privacy under the Kids Online Safety Act — a bill that passed the Senate but stalled in the House. Meta insists this isn’t a blanket escape hatch, but a move toward national standards to avoid chaotic state-by-state litigation and lawsuits fueled by “plaintiffs’ lawyers.” The debate centers on accountability in the digital age — who’s really responsible for keeping kids safe online?
