I used to think threatening to leave the country was a bit silly. But if our government is so dumb as to pass a law that will basically give us ZERO way to protect ourselves from ID theft. I'd finally join those saying that.

Not to mention just completely trampling over our rights. Every single website under the sun could in THEORY show something "offensive". So it's ID use for all of them. Theres no fucking way I am doing that.

I don't even give my SSN for the doctor or any of that shit. You don't fucking need it.
The House version of it made it clear that the restrictions won't be as harsh for smaller websites, but yeah.

There's more meat to it, but that pullquote is my biggest takeaway.

https://www.techpolicy.press/whats-different-about-the-us-house-version-of-the-kids-online-safety-act/
It's still extremely dangerous, as sites like Youtube, X, Facebook, etc. will most definitely make you give your ID to access them, but at least smaller sites like this will have more leeway.

not trying to come-off as a tin-foiler,
but im legit curious as to the possibility of this being a way to prevent unwanted/unsponsored sensationalism surrounding any war-crimes that u.s. and/or isreal potentially have plans for surrounding all this iran drama lately?

i know that may just be a reach as this bill does have some relevance to it even before the Iran stuff started happening, but who knows if theyre trying to keep the youth distanced from alternate info-sources as to not sour them on the idea of later voting for any of the creeps sharing any involvement with any potential government bullshittery. i have to imagine theyve been trying to devise SOMETHING in response to the fact that younger people arent voting these days, even if it isnt something so extreme or dystopian

just thinking out loud, tho
I have seen some people think this bill is a way to stifle pro-Palestine speech.

This is likely also part of the anti-porn push that's been going on recently in several states. Porn is the new scapegoat that comics and video games were in the past, and several states have passed bans and age verification requirements for it, with various sites purging NSFW content as a result.

Does KOSA still need to go to the Senate? Cause if so I hope they stop it. I'm a little concerned because Dems can have their heads up their assess when it comes to this "for the children" stuff and side with Republicans on draconian bullshit.

The TikTok hearing recently demonstrates this.
The Senate heard it, but haven't voted on it yet. It's not looking good for the Senate, though, as over 60 Senators have pledged support for it, enough for it to be filibuster proof and pass, and it's expected to pass there. That's why efforts are being made to target the House instead now, as it is less likely to pass there at this point.
