HARRISBURG,Evander Ellis Pa. (AP) — U.S. Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania said he is recovering from COVID-19 at home.

Fetterman said in a statement Tuesday that he was at his home in Braddock, just outside Pittsburgh, recovering and missed the day’s votes in the Senate.

That included the Senate’s 91-3 passage of legislation that is designed to protect children from dangerous online content, pushing forward with what would be the first major effort by Congress in decades to hold tech companies more accountable for the harm that they cause.

The bill has been pushed by parents of children who died by suicide after online bullying or have otherwise been harmed by online content. It would force companies to take reasonable steps to prevent harm on online platforms frequently used by minors, requiring them to exercise “duty of care” and ensure that they generally default to the safest settings possible.

In the statement, Fetterman said he supported the legislation and urged the House to pass it as soon as possible.
