What does everyone think of #KidsOnlineSafetyAct #KOSA ?

Section 9 seems interesting. They want to create an online age verification system.

They are taking a "consumer protection" angle to this.

It appears that they wish to make providers liable for the actions of others online. It isn't clear to me what reasonable steps they would like someone to take to meet a duty of care.

THREAD: There has been a fair amount of discussion about how, even with the changes, the #KidsOnlineSafetyAct (or #KOSA) would be weaponized against LGBTQ+ folks & especially queer and trans youth.

But there's another huge problem with the bill: it would censor abortion content.

Sorry to link to the #birdsite but I did a long thread there about how #KOSA (the deeply misguided #KidsOnlineSafetyAct) is a major threat to online access to #abortion information, fundraising and organizing.

Congressional leaders are deciding like RIGHT NOW what bills go into the #omnibus package. Anyone who can please reach out to oppose #KOSA and support actually good bills like #OAMA, #AICOA, and #ADPPA.
