2023年7月28日 · the kosa bill has only passed a senate committee, which is not the same as a full senate vote. HOWEVER A FULL SENATE VOTE IS PLANNED IN SEPTEMBER AFTER A BRIEF RECESS. This is why - and I mean this wholeheartedly - pestering the living HELL out of your congresspeople, especially if you're of voting age, is CRUCIAL especially now.

2023年7月28日 · Recently, you may have heard about a U.S. bill named “KOSA” or, in its full name, the Kids Online Safety Act. This name might suggest that it brings benefits to minors, but instead, it’s a bill that allows the government to censor anything having to do with LGBTQ, s**cide prevention, and many other important topics to not just minors, but ...

2022年11月19日 · And a quick glance at the two shows KOSA hits a lot of the same notes that it was struck down for, but then again, the courts have changed a fair bit since then thanks to conservative court packing, with the Supreme Court seemingly willing to overturn longstanding precedent because the Federalist Society said so. So I am unsure.

2023年8月30日 · I honestly do think KOSA would be difficult to enforce, but there’s still cause for concern. There’s some big players supporting the bill, like the Heritage Foundation, whose only complaint was that transgender information wasn’t specifically stated as harmful. Also, one of the parties wasn’t insane back then.

2024年2月19日 · Officially, KOSA wouldn't affect AO3 because it explicitly excludes websites by non-profits. But they also keep changing the language in the bill every time its re-introduced, so that could change. Regardless, its always a good idea to to backup stuff you care about in multiple locations. Edit: fixed a typo.

Plus Blumenthal has worked with Blackburn (cosponsor of KOSA) along with Lindsey Graham and Josh Hawley to promote anti internet bills in disguise of “think of the children”. Blumenthal has been desperately trying to ram KOSA through for several years now and he tried to ram the bill through especially a little while ago with the FAA ...

2023年7月26日 · KOSA refers to the Kids Online Safety Act, which aims to "protect the children", but will lead to other things such as having to take a picture of your drivers license to access websites, or ban that content all together

That's why the leading democrat on it is working with known transphobe marsha blackburn. that's why the heritage foundation stated they will use KOSA to censor twitter, tumblr, tiktok, wattpad, netflix, youtube, practically everything. earlier this month, 90+ human rights orgs, lgbt, and tech orgs signed onto a letter calling on senators to ...

2022年12月15日 · The wrangling over spending often comes down to the wire, and this year, some Senators are considering shoehorning a controversial and unconstitutional bill, the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), into the must-pass legislation. Make no mistake: KOSA is bad enough on its own, but putting KOSA into the “omnibus package” is a terrible idea.
