KOSA passed out of the subcommittee in the House on 13-10 vote. Meaning that they are FINALLY listening to some opposition. But not enough to prevent the other age verification bills from passing, let alone this.
They MUST listen to opposition. Losing this fight is NOT an option.

You absolutely can sue a social media company if they harm you or your kids, actually.
You can't sue them for something someone else said, however.
You can sue the person who said the thing instead.
See how that works? It's very simple, isn't it?

First it was "just porn," then it was social media, now messaging apps and image filters.
And it's not just kids, it's all of us. The number of places online where one has to show papers or disclose identity grows rapidly. So are the places the government (or AI) needs access, without encryption.

Just once, I'd like to see Dick Durbin *try* to explain the actual mechanisms by which repealing 230 will protect children from being exploited and abused. There will be hand waving about how it will "open them up to litigation" but that's not an answer.
