bill, and i'm proud to be one of them. we're also expected to vote on the children and teens online privacy protection act introduced by senators markey and cassidy. this bill prohibits internet companies from collecting personal information from the youngest users and establishes better safeguards to protect children's privacy. in short, it does what big tech has failed to do. it prevents big tech from tracking and targeting kids with the most addictive content possible. these are complex issues, and i want to commend my colleagues, senators blackburn and cassidy, for their work in this area. they managed to draft legislation that balances the first amendment rights of online users with the safety of our chi children. these bills are on the vernal of passing the senate -- on the verge of passing the senate, and that would not be the case without their dedication and tireless efforts. again, i'm proud to cosponsor these bills and i'm glad the senate will finally vote on them this week. they will make critical advancements to keep kids safe from the dangers lurking online and finally provide parents across the country with a little peace of mind.
