We must recognize and fight legislation like KOSA that’s pushing us to cede our power, privacy, and control over our health care and free expression, EFF’s @ericabp writes in TheAdvocate. https://www.advocate.com/voices/erica-portnoy-upholding-privacy

  Recent legislation aimed at protecting minors online threatens to censor essential LGBTQ+ content and other vital information, potentially infringing on privacy and stifling free expression under the guise of safety.

    Tell the Senate: KOSA Will Censor the Internet But Won't Help Kids
    
    from @eff
    
    The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would censor the internet and would make government officials the arbiters of what young people can see online. It will likely lead to age verification, handing more power, and private data, to third-party identity verification companies like Clear or ID.me. The government should not have the power to decide what topics are "safe" online for young people, and to force services to remove and block access to anything that might be considered unsafe for children. This isn’t safety—it’s censorship.
