Daines helped introduce the \u201cKids Online Safety Act,\u201d and has been working on this issue since he first introduced the bipartisan \u201cSafeguarding American Families from Exposure by Keeping Information and Data Secure (SAFE KIDS) Act\u201d in 2015.\n\nDownload a video statement HERE.\n\n\u201cAs the father of four and grandfather of six, I\u2019m glad to see the Senate pass my bill to ensure that our children\u2019s privacy and safety is protected as technology and social media platforms rapidly evolve. We must put power back in the hands parents and ensure they and their children have the tools they need to keep safe while online,\u201d Daines said.\n\nThe \u201cKids Online Safety Act\u201d will require onlineplatforms to enable the strongest privacy settings by default, force platforms to prevent and mitigate specific dangers to minors, provide parents and educators new controls to help protect children, and require independent audits and research into social media companies.\n\nDaines first introduced the \u201cSAFE KIDS Act\u201d in 2015, and he spoke on the Senate floor about the importance of the bill in 2018.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.daines.senate.gov/2024/07/30/daines-bipartisan-bill-to-protect-young-montanans-privacy-online-passes-u-s-senate/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.741919968277216, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
