Don’t Fall for the Latest Changes to the Dangerous Kids Online Safety Act (US Politics)

www.eff.org Don’t Fall for the Latest Changes to the Dangerous Kids Online Safety Act

The authors of the dangerous Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) unveiled an amended version this week, but it’s still an unconstitutional censorship bill that continues to empower state officials to target services and online content they do not like.

Don’t Fall for the Latest Changes to the Dangerous Kids Online Safety Act

KOSA's supporters are claiming that the latest version addresses concerns from the LGBTQ community, and a few LGBTQ organizations (including GLAAD and HRC) have endorsed this version, but don't be fooled: the dozens of LGBTQ and human rights organizations who have been opposing KOSA were not consulted about these changes and so while there are improvements, it's still far from sufficient. This article's EFF's take on the amended version. TL;DR summary:

  • LGBTQ+ Youth will be at risk of having content, educational material, and their own online identities erased.
  • Young people searching for sexual health and reproductive rights information will find their search results stymied.

We are asking everyone reading this to oppose this latest version, and to demand that their representatives oppose it—even if you have already done so.
