KOSA advanced through committee. But our opposition is making a huge difference, and we can still kill this bill.
Notably, Sens. Markey and Cantwell referenced that they've been hearing from constituents about how KOSA will harm youth, especially LGBTQ+ youth.

If KOSA, EARN IT, or any of the other bad internet bills pass, we'll lose out on the power of the internet as a mutual aid and community-building resource.
"Think of the children" bills will break free speech
If they pass, it's goodbye to an open, creative, degenerate, anonymous internet.

If your Senator is a sponsor, call and complain. If they aren't, call and demand they complain.
Seriously, call your Senators now. This needs to be stopped before it goes any further. They want to drive LGBTQIA+ off the internet entirely, and Democrats are on board.

URGENT: WashPo is reporting that there is still an effort to quietly include the dangerous #STOPCSAM Act (this is basically just the #EarnItAct Act under a different name) in the must-pass #NDAA.

Stop KOSA
KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!
