Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.
Committee hearings begin tomorrow.

I personally feel that Visa and Mastercard should get out of the censorship game altogether.
But while there are in it, they should be censoring bullies (who cause active harm) at least as vehemently as they are censoring spicy artists (who harm no one).

Therefore, if Visa and Mastercard are currently condoning and financing bullying.
We can and should call them about their decision to endorse TPUSA and its policy of bullying.
If I can’t buy Diablo 2 on Steam, why can someone donate to TPUSA to bully teachers or trans people?

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

In seriousness, though, we're analyzing the new text but this package looks like a mess. The new KOSA text is confusing... the removal of the unworkable Duty of Care is positive, but other changes are just ... weird? Other bills in the package would mandate age verification and look disastrous.
