Extended read
The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) has voiced strong opposition to the House's proposed Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act (H.R. 7757). The NCPC contends that the bill would undermine states' authority in child protection and lacks crucial 'duty to care' provisions found in the Senate version. The organization has characterized the House bill as a 'fig leaf,' suggesting it primarily serves the interests of social media companies by offering insufficient protections for children.
