How the Kids Online Safety Act puts us all at risk (US-specific)

Anti-speech laws are spreading from states to Congress, and the future of online speech could hang in the balance

If’s you’re in the US, contact your Senators today! www.stopkosa.com makes it easy to contact them.

Or look up your Senators’ phone numbers here and call them directly. Tell them you want to oppose S. 1409, the Kids Online Safety Act because it won’t help keep kids safe and it’ll put us all at risk.

Rentlar,

Hey I appreciate you putting US-specific in the post title.

dotslashme,

There’s no such thing as US specific on the Internet. Every law made concerning online presence anywhere will have at least a limited impact on the Internet as a whole.

That’s true, and legislation that passes in the US also influences legislation elsewhere. However quite a few people from outside the US have repeatedly asked for discussions of this and other legislation to include something in the title that indicates that it relates to US legislation, so I went with US-specific on this post.

yakbone,

I am from the US, and I appreciate the tag. I think it's useful all around to know where the attacks are coming from.
