The U.S. Government Wants To Control Online Speech to “Protect Kids” - Lemmy.world

All the angles to this KOSA bill are so interesting- a whirlwind of bad ideas thrown together. I mostly know it from its obvious attempts to target LGBTQ+ stuff, but it's really interesting that they think that they should block the super sad news of our dying planet. The best part is that they don't seem to be targeting say, newspapers or TV. Total idiocy.
Newspapers and TV channels know how to use their teeth - and can be bought. Buying the internet might be a bit beyond their budget.
Haha true, but I feel like opening up any old media except for CNN is often just as depressing in different ways.
