If you haven't seen it before, KOSA is a censorship and age verification vehicle that is blatantly unconstitutional, packaged together with some ideas that might benefit kids so lawmakers can point and ask why you don't want to help kids when you tell them not to pass this. The bill is bipartisan, so it isn't just Republicans or Democrats here. The bill would give state officials the ability to enact political censorship if they are crafty about it (think stiffing LGBT+ content), though efforts have been made to hide that fact. Please give that a glance and contact your representatives in both the House and Senate and say no to KOSA. --- Cuteness is justice! It's the law. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If it passes through the Senate, it'll have to go through the House and be signed by Biden. Hopefully, AOC and the Squad have some kind of plan to kill KOSA.

They need to make a law where if something like this passes that uses child or children or kids or whatever in the name, whoever named it that need to pay for everything in it

What a lazy takeHe's not wrong though. If this passes, which I highly doubt, it will just cause a cluster fuck of court cases as the vast majority of websites would lose major traffic. Also, this shit is already happening on the state level with some places requiring age verification on some websites, and it's definitely not going well... --- There is no good. There is no evil.

it's bizarre to even think about. like what are they gonna do, demand ALL websites suspend and freeze all existing accounts until people hand over their IDs and change their usernames to their full legal names? it's insane and will straight up destroy places like this

Would this just not cause most websites to relocate to countries that don't require IDs to access their content?

On the other, this makes data collection and the profiteering done with it far more reliable and gives them free license to deep dive people, basically. ... Copied to Clipboard!
