The Kids Online Safety Act is making its way through Congress as a means to protect kids, including LGBTQ kids from harm that can come from social media. The bill will protect young people from harmful design and programming decisions, while explicitly safeguarding youth autonomy to explore online.

Will the bill be effective? How will it work? We find out today with our special guests.
