Stripping away more rights under the guise of protecting kids? This'll pass for sure
A worthless existence
Hopefully this shuts down more right wing websites.

Puts age restriction on all websites with any form of user-uploaded content in a way that basically necessitates giving your ID to access them.

A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm.

Is the info going to the website owners then, I presume?

Is this the same method the porn stuff is doing?

Thanks for answering instead of being a smartass btw.

Is this not going to allow me to use Fandom? I'm still using the Kagura Wiki to help decide on cosplaying Senran Kagura characters in Elden Ring.

It's going to not allow you to use anything. This could kill the internet, and there's nothing any of us can do about it.

You know this site has user uploaded content. You'd need to give your personal info to use this site. Same with YouTube.

Have fun when the inevitable info leak occurs.

There is an organized attempt on Discord to influence the House to vote no on it.

Is there an explanation of how its enforced? And what constitutes user uploaded content?

Like, does wikipedia fall under it? And what about sites not based in the US? Does it rely on people reporting rule breakers?

The FTC enforces it with a special group that gives huge fines to violators of it.

Well, the internet sure was nice while it lasted
So when this passes what do we do?

There is a 100% chance this is going to pass due to our current climate.

Also there are people who are pro-KOSA specifically because it hits porn and some of them are willing to give up their own rights to hit porn.

I can't find anything on Wikipedia that says that, though the words of Blackburn outlined might force me to not talk about my feelings when it comes to my gender dysphoria, lest I become a "harm to a minor" or whatever bullshit they are talking about...

let me guess,

this is somehow a cumulation of all the random & BS af gay & trans ppl are trying to corrupt our youth!!1! rhetoric that all the old useless right-wing fucks spew & propagate online constantly since they got nothing better to do with their past-expiration lives than spitefully strip as many rights away from the youth as possible

(possibly, i theorize sometimes, due to deep-rooted jealousy stemming from how their mom & dads guilted them from doing anything fun their whole lives and how much time and effort they wasted trying to conform to americas BS sense of normalcy & patriotism as a result,
all of which revealed to them via these new smart-phones they're finally becoming acquainted with after years of living in defiant ignorance w/ their pridefully-stupid im perfectly just fine with my flip-phone! crap,
and now that these johnny-come-latelys are finally caught up now they want to destroy it all b/c its not all catered exclusively toward them & in-fact shows a bit of favoritism toward the generation & demographics of which have made up the bulk of the internets population long before the dusty old MAGA fuckers had gotten involved)

fuck old people, seriously.
but guess who the senate is full to brim with??
please just tell me we arent completely fucked.

It's already expected to pass the Senate and Biden has said he'd sign it if it reaches his desk, so people are focusing on the House to try to stop it from passing there.

Not surprised it's coming from Marsha Blackburn. That woman is a complete racist who claimed that the Chinese "has a 5000 year history of cheating and stealing" before backpedaling and saying that she was "only criticizing the CCP", as if they were around 5000 years ago.
Hello
It will probably pass now while everyone is busy with the war starting

This also obviously violates the Constitution and effectively guts Section 230, though we all know the old fogies and right-wingers don't care about that.

remember when the president filmed those silly wacky skits w/ obama to present this phony vibe of wholesomeness to distract all the young voters from how much war & death they were passively involved with?

Does this mean my employer could potentially find out what Rule 34 content I enjoy?
Could KOSA be struck down as unconstitutional for limiting the First Amendment rights of adults like COPA was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashcroft_v._American_Civil_Liberties_Union ?

If his ass signs it I'm sitting out on voting this year.
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
I don't think Biden actually know what's in this bullshit.

It shouldn't pass, it's unconstitutional.

The government is overstepping its power,period.
