Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has announced that he will bring two bills related to children’s online safety and privacy to a floor vote this week.

One of the bills, known as the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), requires social media companies to take measures to prevent the spread of harmful content related to suicide, eating disorders, bullying, and drugs.
