What I sent to my electeds regarding KOSA

I beg of you, please understand what a weapon KOSA is. For anyone who wants to censor the internet, who wants to simply remove whole populations of people from the public sphere of discourse. Any single person, any group, that can be slandered with "but what if CHILDREN see what these people are saying and doing?????" can have their online life erased. Queer people. Folks talking about reproductive health. People who want to discuss divorce. Folks who want to talk about harm reduction in drug use. Trans people. People advocating for gun control.

Anything that could be framed as "Anti-family" or "harm to children" can be censored by any attorney general who gets a wild hair about a specific issue. You know that. I know you know that. And you seem hellbent on fellow-traveller-ing right along this paved road of good intention straight into censorship hell.

Stop. KOSA.

Vote against KOSA.

Please do not give this loaded weapon into the hands of people who want to erase knowledge, community, and access from the public sphere.

I do not want my life or the lives of my wife and kids to be erased from community. Please vote no on KOSA.

KOSA update:

For anyone who hasn't seen (me included lol), the verge has put out an article about KOSA and how its not as clear if congress will pass it now as multiple other bills are competing against it and legislators are struggling to decide which to back.

https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/29/24086559/kids-online-safety-act-schatz-tech-groups

One of the proposed bills is this one

congress.gov

Text - S.223 - 117th Congress (2021-2022): Invest in Child Safety Act

Text for S.223 - 117th Congress (2021-2022): Invest in Child Safety Act

In short, instead of making a bunch of tech bros surrogate parents on the internet, instead it would invest a ton of money into actually going after and investigating actual child predators, modernize the cyber tipline, and do research on prevention/ detection programs, among a few other things.

So please, if you're American, you still have time to call up your reps and tell them you're against Kosa, which is good, but giving them suggestions like this bill is better
