About this sermon
In the US, there is renewed attention to a bill that would compel social media apps to shield children from sexual abuse, bullying and risky stunts that can cause injury or even death. The New York Post reports that 2 major figures at social media giant X, including owner Elon Musk, support the Kids Online Safety Act. The bipartisan measure passed the Senate over the summer by an overwhelming margin. It stalled in the House over Republican fears it could lead to censorship. Earlier today, supporters gathered on Capitol Hill trying to revive interest in the bill and rallying to get it passed in the House before the end of the year. These supporters include parents whose children were injured and in some cases died from online harms. Member of Parents SOS, Maurine Molak, lost her 16-year-old son as a result of social media harms. Molak tells us why she is in Washington. She discusses why the Kids Online Safety Act is so important and what she would tell the Republicans on Capitol Hill and others who are concerned it could lead to censorship. Both the owner and CEO of social media giant X say they support the Kids Online Safety Act. Molak explains what that means to her and whether it could make an impact. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
