Set a reminder for yourself to call your congressional representatives tomorrow! We can't let the government dismantle more of our digital freedom on Big Tech's behalf.

From @fight :
‼️ Bad Internet Bills, disguised as “kids safety” bills, are moving through Congress again ‼️

It's time to get those phones in Congress ringing off the hooks again w/ one simple message: we refuse any bill that age restricts, censors & surveils the Internet

The UK has finally gone mask off in wanting to scan every single message and every single photo on devices under the guise of pRoTeCtInG tHe kIdS like every single tech literate person on earth said they would. Scapegoat for domestic surveillance and privacy invasion.

KIDS Act package in Congress combines KOSA and related bills, pushing platforms toward broad age verification and user age inference rules. 🔒
KOSA and SAFE BOTS provisions may pressure services to verify users' ages, impacting encrypted messaging and platform design choices. 🔐

KOSA, the KIDS Act, AI, Bad Internet Bills, and a potential giveaway to big tech

It's a confusing situation, but with the House reportedly voting next week it seems like a good time for an update!

KOSA (now apparently called Kids Internet and Digital Safety, or KIDS Act), is back again. Once again, it is always worth keeping in mind that whenever politicians use "Save Our Children!" as a slogan, we all need to be very leery of that.

Update: It also looks like members of the Senate are trying to put together their own packages as well:

-One package would bundle Senate KOSA, the NO FAKES Act, and the App Store Accountability Act together in a compromise with big tech regarding GenAI regulation

-Another is Hawley and Durbin trying to slip the DEFIANCE Act and STOP CSAM Act into a must pass bill (NDAA). They've tried this several times before but failed. Still it has a possibility of succeeding.

Call your Senators and Representatives ASAP!

RED ALERT! The KIDS Act (H.R.7757) is being teed up for a vote in the House next week! This bill is an omnibus style package which includes horrible bills like the Kids Online Safety Act and the SCREEN Act! Call your Senators and Representatives ASAP!

Reading the latest version of the bill and it seems like House is sticking with their version of KOSA. This will set up a showdown between the House and the Senate as both chambers have dug in their heels regarding their version of KOSA. I doubt either chamber will fully get their way.
