Meta lobbies U.S. Congress for legal immunity from child-harm lawsuits related to social media products

Meta Platforms is actively lobbying the U.S. Congress for legal immunity from child-harm claims stemming from social media products like Instagram. The proposed legislative language, if adopted as part of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), could undermine thousands of existing lawsuits against Meta and other online platforms. Meta argues this would establish uniform national standards for online youth safety.
