   US Senators have reintroduced #KOSA today and sadly I expect this to become law invevitably as it gained even more support (from Apple most notably) since it was stalled late last year.

   Like I said, this would create more #censorship and chilling of #speech, especiially towards minorities and the marginalized.

     > Last year, when Heritage Foundation declared its desireto use KOSA to censor LGBTQ content and announced it would leverage the bill to remove pro-abortion content if Trump won, perhaps some could dismiss it as empty rhetoric. But now? The Trump administration is systematically implementing every element of Heritage’s Project 2025 censorship playbook. There’s no more room for wishful thinking about how KOSA might be used.

     Incredible.
