Aubrey's representative in the U.S. House, Brandon Gill (R-TX-26), voted Nay (against) on the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act when the House passed the bill on June 29, 2026.
What the KIDS Act does
The Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, known as the KIDS Act, bundles more than a dozen online-safety proposals aimed at protecting minors. According to the bill and its sponsors, it would require online platforms to add new safety features and parental controls, limit the use of minors' personal data for targeted advertising, require age verification for websites that host pornography, and set new rules for AI chatbots and online games. The package also incorporates a version of the Kids Online Safety Act.
The vote
The House passed the measure, formally H.R. 7757, by a vote of 267 to 117 under a suspension of the rules, a fast-track procedure that requires a two-thirds majority. The bill was introduced by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie, a Kentucky Republican, and Representative Frank Pallone, a New Jersey Democrat, and it drew support from members of both parties. Some digital-rights and technology groups have raised free-speech concerns about parts of the measure. The bill now moves to the Senate, where its path is uncertain; some senators have signaled differences over its approach.
