KOSA is a bill that aims to protect children online but it would do so in harmful ways. First, it would pressure platforms to install content filters that would censor large amounts of content, including important suicide prevention and LGBTQ+ support resources. Content filters have a history of overblocking important information. Second, KOSA would ramp up online surveillance of all users by expanding age verification and parental monitoring tools. These tools are unnecessarily invasive and pose risks to young people trying to escape abuse. Over 90 rights groups agree that KOSA is dangerous and cannot be fixed through amendments. If you value a free and open internet, contact your lawmakers to reject KOSA.
These bills are going to keep coming. The goal is erosion of rights and privacy at all costs.
My entire life, they have never, ever once stopped trying to push the same bullshit through, over and over and over.
It’s so goddamn exhausting. A constant battle of attrition.
I’m just tired… When do I get to just enjoy my life?
When the populace collectively grows a brain and replaces these clowns with someone honest. People voted for these legislators, keep in mind.
It’s not like there aren’t already a lot of people trying to vote better people in, it just never seems to be enough… ~Strawberry
Exactly. Not enough. They are not the majority.
