Rand Paul blocks unanimous passage of Kids Online Safety Act

Original: Paul blocks push to unanimously pass Kids Online Safety Act

Senator Rand Paul blocked a push to pass the Kids Online Safety Act by unanimous consent in the Senate, stalling the child online safety bill that has otherwise drawn broad bipartisan support. The move prevents the legislation from clearing the chamber without a floor debate or recorded vote, leaving its path forward uncertain. Supporters of the bill, which would impose duty-of-care obligations on online platforms regarding minors, now face renewed procedural hurdles.

Why now: A single senator's objection has stalled a widely supported child online safety bill, drawing attention to the legislative standoff.
