I keep seeing people talk about the UK Online Safety act but I don't see anyone here talking about this. If you don't want this shit coming to your doorstep, then keep reading. Call your representatives and tell them that you don't want KOSA signed into law, you don't have to be a resident of their district to call them. Call them every day you can. You can also leave a voicemail.

"*I am urging you VOTE NO on KOSA, the Kid’s Online Safety Act. This is still a dangerous bill that will harm children and censor pro-life content on the internet. Even with the new language, this bill still gives state Attorney Generals power to censor any content they don’t like. This bill would be weaponized by unelected bureaucrats to censor Americans, why else do you think Democrats are pushing it so hard?
Many news organizations have reported that this bill actively harms kids by exposing their private data to strangers under the guise of protecting them. We need to hold Big Tech accountable, but KOSA is not the solution. How is this big against Big Tech if Apple, Microsoft, Snapchat, and Twitter all support it?
The bill let any state attorney general and the FTC to sue any website for “harmful” content. Do we really want blue state lawyers deciding what can and can’t be allowed online? Big Tech is already censoring us. That’s why they support KOSA. This is massive government overreach. We need a bill that actually protects children by creating better security measures instead of bringing about more censorship to everyone.
Multiple experts agree this bill pushes age verification. KOSA hands more private data of children to third party companies, which would put them in further danger. This also exposes everyone else. How is this protecting children’s privacy? What parent would want their child’s private data in the hands of strangers like this? KOSA is actively putting kids in danger. It censors our freedom of speech. Do NOT support this bill. Thank you.*"
