Opponents (including the ACLU) argue that the bill’s "duty of care" could be used to censor lawful speech, specifically impacting LGBTQ resources and restricting access to information for minors.

KOSA Goes well beyond the realms of just simple censorship. Any individual cares about privacy and anonymity and it's grave implications for our civil liberties should be worried right now. This legislation is simply orwellian in nature. #KOSA #CivilLiberties #onlinefreedom #BigTech #StopKOSA
I would like to remind everyone to be vigilant and fight all these laws that are popping up everywhere targeting childrens' internet access, because what comes for kids first will come for adults next.

Happy Sunday.
Long time no see.
This is URGENT. The bastards are attempting to mimic the United Kingdom and KILL THE INTERNET. How? The Kids "Online Safety" Act - TWICE REJECTED MIND YOU - has been reintroduced, more reactionary than ever.
Numerous Senators we could trust have BETRAYED us, cosponsoring this abomination like it's nothing. FUCK THEM ALL!
CALL, PROTEST, DO ANYTHING TO BURN THIS BILL. NOW.

29 July 2025: KOSA is up for another vote yet again, by the same Republicans who refuse the release of the Epstein files.
How can you be "for the kids" when you're in bed with a pedophile?
This bill won't protect kids.
Neither will the Republican party.
Call your reps now.
--Original Message--
KOSA has been amended, and it still poses a great risk to LGBTQ+ and marginalized communities, while posing as a bill designed to protect kids from predatory acts.
It is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
It will obliterate LGBTQ+ resources, as well as resources on mental wellness, teen addiction help, reproductive health, youth activism...
It effectively forces sites, ISPs and platforms to censor legitimate context out of fear that certain political actors can misconstrue the content on any given day, and proceed with legal actions on what was misconstrued.
It's openly vague, and written to silence.
Censorship is bad.
Act now.

you can find your US house and senate reps in just one step on https://congress.gov. I just called all three of mine and got a person or a machine immediately in all three cases; no hold time. State your name, the county you're calling from, and urge them to block KOSA because it can be used for censorship.
