"...bills like the Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA) would open the door to greater surveillance, censorship and control of what people can do online. Those same #freespeech advocates say the evidence lies in what happened to sex workers after the passage of the bills known as Allow States and Victims To Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (#FOSTA) and the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (#SESTA) in 2018.

Call me pessimistic, but I think we just have to make peace with the fact that the internet we've known for the past 30 years is coming to an end and we're entering a full on fascist surveillance state.

We should make our preparations for this now and not right before the legislation takes effect.

I'd like for things to work out and these bills either fail to pass or get struck down in court but I feel that ain't going to happen. So many people will get hurt because of this.

Well, looks like we can't rely on Ted Cruz stonewalling bills anymore. They want to proceed with the Kids Online Safety Act, Children and Teens' Online Privacy Protection Act, and Kids Off Social Media Act (at minimum). Cruz wants to advance these bills "within the next six weeks" (i.e. factoring in recesses, it will either be the week of April 13th or the week of April 20th). I have no idea if Cruz is siding with the Senate version or the House version of KOSA as last I checked, he was on the fence (there will clearly be negotiation/butting heads as the two versions differ drastically).

This has a greater chance of proceeding as scheduled as Cruz is the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee. Though it could be delayed if the previous two calls for votes are anything to go by (Blumenthal wanted a vote on KOSA by late 2025 and Graham wanted a vote on various "child safety" bills back in February).

Please call your Senators and Representatives ASAP!
