BREAKING: The Senate has unanimously passed COPPA 2.0 – the Children and Teen’s Online Privacy and Protection Act. This bill EXPANDS the current law protecting our kids online to ensure companies cannot collect personal information from anyone under the age of 17. This is really important to protect kids online. When I was Majority Leader, we passed this bill with bipartisan support as part of a package that passed 91-3. Sadly, House Republicans blocked it. This is a very good day for Kids and their parents, as well, who can breathe a sigh of relief that some real protections for kids online is finally passing the Senate once again. I’m glad the Senate has passed COPPA 2.0 again, and this time the House needs to finish the job and pass this bill swiftly and decisively.
