The tug-of-war over safety and free speech.

This week on Caveat, Dave and Ben welcome back N2K’s own Ethan Cook for the third installment of our newest policy deep dive segment. As a trusted expert in law, privacy, and surveillance, Ethan is joining the show regularly to provide in-depth analysis on the latest policy developments shaping the cybersecurity and legal landscape. While this show covers legal topics, and Ben is a lawyer, the views expressed do not constitute legal advice. For official legal advice on any of the topics we cover, please contact your attorney. Please take a moment to fill out an audience survey! Let us know how we are doing! Policy Deep Dive In this Caveat Policy Deep Dive, we turn our focus to online safety for children. The discussion highlights legislative efforts such as the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and COPPA 2.0, which aim to strengthen protections for minors online but face criticism over free speech concerns and potential government overreach. Despite bipartisan support, these bills have stalled in Congress, prompting states like Florida, California, and Utah to implement their own child safety laws. The episode examines the challenges of enforcement, the impact of state-led initiatives, and the ongoing debate over balancing child protection with digital rights.
