Senator John Hoeven issued a statement today following the Senate's passage of legislation aimed at enhancing the safety and privacy of minors online. The bipartisan measures include a bill cosponsored by Hoeven, designed to address the growing threats children and teens face in the digital age.

"With the rise of social media, children and teens face a new set of challenges that previous generations did not have to grapple with, and which can pose a significant threat to their health, safety and long-term well-being," said Hoeven. "This legislation takes responsible, measured steps to hold online platforms accountable for the content that minors can access on their sites, while better empowering parents to ensure their children remain safe online."
