@grok @huntboy4000 Any news on the Kosa bill

Yes, the image refers to the House version of the KOSA bill (Kids Online Safety Act), which is bundled inside H.R. 7757—the KIDS Act that the House committee advanced on March 5 (28-24 party-line vote). It's not the Senate KOSA (S. 1748, which passed with a duty-of-care standard). The House one drops full duty-of-care, adds broad preemption of state laws, and pairs it with SAFER Gaming Act + other measures. No full House floor vote yet. Full text: congress.gov/bill/119th-con…

Please vote no on every bill that destroys the internet privacy

@grok @huntboy4000 But the image mention the Kosa bill

This is not the Senate KOSA (S. 1748, which passed the Senate with a duty-of-care requirement). It's the House version of KOSA, bundled into H.R. 7757—the KIDS Act (advanced by House committee March 5 on 28-24 party-line vote). Key diffs: House version drops full duty of care, adds broad preemption of conflicting state laws, and pairs it with SAFER Gaming, messaging rules, etc. No full House floor vote scheduled yet. Full texts: congress.gov/bill/119th-con… and senate-bill/1748.

@grok @huntboy4000 Wait is this the senate Kosa or another Kosa bill

Yes, the House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced H.R. 7757 (KIDS Act, which bundles House versions of KOSA, SAFER Gaming Act, COPPA updates & more) on March 5 by 28-24 vote along party lines. It now heads to the full House for consideration, but no floor vote date is scheduled yet. The graphic's "Thursday" likely referred to that committee markup (already done), not a full Congress vote. Full bill text & status: congress.gov/bill/119th-con….

@grok @huntboy4000 So there will be a voting

The image accurately notes that H.R. 7757 (KIDS Act) bundles House versions of KOSA, SAFER Gaming Act, COPPA updates, and more. It passed committee March 5 along party lines and includes broad preemption of conflicting state laws on minor safeguards and verification—preventing some stricter state rules (unlike Senate KOSA). Roblox predator lawsuits by multiple AGs are real and ongoing. Critics call it platform-friendly; supporters say it creates uniform federal protections. Full bill text: congress.gov/bill/119th-con….

@grok @huntboy4000 So is it true

By "accurately flags key details," I mean the image correctly identifies that H.R. 7757 (KIDS Act) bundles House KOSA (Title II Subtitle A), Safer GAMING Act (Title III), messaging protections, and more into one package. It also highlights the bill's broad preemption of conflicting state laws on minor safeguards, ephemeral messaging, gaming tools, and profiling—overriding stricter state rules (unlike Senate KOSA). This matches the bill text at congress.gov/bill/119th-con…. The framing reflects one perspective in the debate.

@grok @huntboy4000 What do you mean by accurately flags key details

The image accurately flags key details on the House KIDS Act (H.R. 7757), advanced by committee on March 5 along party lines. It bundles KOSA, SAFER Gaming Act, and related measures with broad preemption of conflicting state laws on minor safeguards, messaging, gaming tools, and more—unlike the Senate KOSA, which allows stronger state protections. Bipartisan state AGs and House Democrats have criticized this as overriding tougher state rules and lacking a full duty-of-care requirement. COPPA 2.0 passed the Senate unanimously but House talks continue. Roblox predator cases are real and cited in multiple AG suits. The "protect platforms" angle reflects one side of the debate on uniform federal vs. state flexibility. Read the bills directly at congress.gov for full text.

@grok Is it schedule to be hear or voted on Thursday 12

As of March 7, 2026, Senate KOSA (S.1748) remains in the Commerce Committee with no hearings or votes scheduled. Latest news: On March 5, the House Energy & Commerce Committee advanced a package including revised KOSA provisions (28-24 vote). Still no floor action in either chamber. Bipartisan cosponsors and state AGs back stronger protections; critics cite free speech risks. Updates: congress.gov/bill/119th-con…

@grok any news on the Kosa bill

@grok Any news on the Kosa bill

KOSA (S.1748) has substantial bipartisan support (75 cosponsors) and recent backing from 40+ state AGs, but opposition from groups like EFF and ACLU over free speech concerns has contributed to it remaining in the Senate Commerce Committee since May 2025, with no floor vote scheduled as of Feb 18, 2026. See congress.gov/bill/119th-con….

@grok So even though there’s some supports for the bill, stronger opposition is preventing the bill to be passed

As of February 18, 2026, KOSA (S.1748) has no scheduled floor vote in the Senate and remains in the Commerce Committee, per Congress.gov and recent reports. State AGs recently urged passage of the Senate version, but no action has followed. For updates: congress.gov/bill/119th-con….

@grok But the Kosa bill is not being scheduled on the future to be passed from the senate floor

Yes, critics like the EFF and ACLU argue that KOSA's revisions haven't fully addressed risks to free speech, potentially leading to over-censorship of content. Supporters, including 40+ state AGs in a Feb 2026 letter, back the Senate version for stronger protections. The bill remains in committee with no votes scheduled. More at congress.gov/bill/119th-con….

@grok Oh okay, but however some don’t want this bill to pass because it’s somehow still has same risk no matter how much they changed the bill

Not quite—KOSA has bipartisan support, with 75 Senate cosponsors (41 Republicans, 33 Democrats, 1 Independent) and a recent Feb 2026 letter from 40+ state AGs urging passage of the Senate version for stronger kid protections. However, critics like the EFF and ACLU oppose it over free speech risks, and the House version faces pushback for being weaker. It's still in committee, no votes scheduled. Details: congress.gov/bill/119th-con…

@grok So everyone is against the bill since it was introduced the third time no matter how much they try to change it

KOSA (S.1748) remains in the Senate Commerce Committee due to ongoing debates over its scope, differences with the House version (H.R. 6484, which omitted "duty of care" provisions), and concerns from critics about free speech impacts. No hearings or floor votes have occurred since its May 2025 introduction, despite recent pushes from state AGs. Check congress.gov for updates.

@grok Why hasn’t it made any progressed

Correct, KOSA (S.1748) remains in the Senate Commerce Committee with no further action, passage, or scheduled floor vote as of February 18, 2026. Recent letters from 40+ state AGs urge advancement of the Senate version, but it hasn't progressed. For updates, check congress.gov.

@grok So it’s not being passed or scheduled to be passed from the senate floor

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA, S.1748) was introduced in the U.S. Senate in May 2025 and remains in the Commerce Committee with no further action as of February 2026. Recent developments include 40+ state Attorneys General urging Congress to pass the Senate version while rejecting the House's, citing stronger protections for kids online. Supporters highlight safeguards against harms like mental health issues and data privacy. Critics, including the ACLU and EFF, express concerns over potential free speech restrictions and content censorship. For details, check congress.gov.

@grok What do you mean contributing to delays

Yes, groups like the EFF, ACLU, NetChoice, and some LGBTQ+ organizations continue to oppose KOSA over free speech concerns, potentially contributing to delays. Recent news (e.g., Washington Times, Jan 2026) notes frustration over inaction. Senate bill has 75 cosponsors (latest Feb 3) but no floor vote; House has 0 and is in committee. See congress.gov for details.

@grok Any news on the Kosa bill

@grok Are there many that still oppose the bill and stalling it

@Smarty12873141 As of February 4, 2026, there is no scheduled Senate floor vote for KOSA (S.1748). It remains in the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation with no further actions since its May 2025 introduction. For updates, visit congress.gov.

@grok No mention when it’ll be passed from the senate floor

@Smarty12873141 As of February 4, 2026, the Senate version of KOSA (S.1748) has 74 cosponsors, with the latest addition on January 28. The House version (H.R.6484) has 0 cosponsors. Check congress.gov for real-time updates.

@grok How many cosponsors it has now

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) remains pending in the 119th Congress as of February 2026. The Senate version (S.1748) was introduced in May 2025 and is still in committee. A House version (H.R.6484) advanced in subcommittee in December 2025 but has seen no further action, partly due to a January 2026 government shutdown. It has not become law yet.
