In a recent US Congress hearing, tech CEOs faced criticism over their companies’ approach to online safety for children and teenagers.
The hearing was held in the context of the proposed Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), a controversial bill aimed at protecting children from the dangers of social media.
Microsoft and X (formerly Twitter) have publicly announced their support for KOSA.
Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of X, and Evan Spiegel from Snap also expressed their support during the hearing.
However, Meta, Discord, and TikTok have not fully supported KOSA.
They pointed out that they support some parts of the bill but not others.
