State Sen. Andrew Gounardes is introducing the New York Children’s Online Safety Act (NYCOSA) to limit the ability for kids to be contacted by strangers on the internet.
New York State Sen. Andrew Gounardes is a driving force behind kids online safety laws. He sponsored the Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation for Kids Act and the New York Child Data Protection Act, both signed by Governor Kathy Hochul earlier this year.
Gounardes’ communications director, Billy Richling, tells The Verge in an email that the bill is not intended to cover news sites or blogs and says other definitions in the legislation make clear it’s focused on private communications like direct messages. “We’re really focused on ensuring unconnected accounts are not able to direct message under-18 accounts without a friend request being approved first,” Richling says.
