#Meta wants the #Kosa law rewritten to shield it from lawsuits over harm to kids from the u.s state level. They seem to prefer federal enforcement over u.s states.

#KOSA #AgeVerification #privacy #SocialMedia

We already restrict our kids access to the internet. No government necessary!

I do agree kids under about 14-15 should be kept far far away from social media and user generated content. But age verification is not the way, parents need to enforce it if they want it, not a state ordered digital ID.

#KOSA, like #FOSTA & #SESTA, is #Cyberfascism.

- NONE of the people affected by the former latter is in favour of them!

Also the #HeritageFoundation is a #christofascist #cult.

- This is just #QueerErasure and #Genocide as well as #Democide against #Trans and #Queer people first and foremost.

#KOSA is not about protecting #Children. It's about keeping adults from talking about things the #government doesn't want us talking about
