Summary

Minnesota Attorney General Ellison, alongside 43 other attorneys general, opposes the federal KIDS Act (H.R. 7757), arguing it would weaken state authority to protect minors from online harms, including those from AI. The coalition instead supports the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA, S. 1748), which includes a 'duty of care' provision and preserves state enforcement power. The AG highlights ongoing lawsuits against TikTok and Meta for addictive design features affecting youth mental health, emphasizing active enforcement.
