Kids Online Protection and Anti-Grooming Act; enact.

SB 2388, the "Kids Online Protection and Anti-Grooming Act," requires online platforms (like social media, video games, and messaging apps) that interact with minors to take specific safety steps. It mandates platforms to prevent unsolicited adult-minor connections, notify parents if a minor makes a microtransaction or views explicit content, and protect minors' location data. The law excludes schools, email services, government sites, and certain business tools from coverage. Platforms violating the law face lawsuits for damages, court costs, and attorney fees, though parents can opt out of protections with written consent. The bill died in committee in early 2026 and did not become law.
