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.

President Ronald Reagan famously said that the nine most terrifying words in America are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

What's worse?

"Save Our Children!"

and

"National security."

Both are thought-terminating slogans politicians use to push bad laws while silencing opponents.
