Senate racing to pass horrific Kids Online Safety Act
U.S. Senate racing to vote for the horrific Kid's Online Safety Act
today. It will likely pass by an overwhelmingly large bipartisan
margin, thanks to politicians who don't have a damned clue about how
dangerous it will be to both children and adults (or just don't care).
It will subject the most vulnerable children to more abuse, block
access to crucial information, and require everyone including adults
to use government IDs to verify their ages and link them to their
social media accounts -- perfect for privacy breaches and government
tracking.
Its future in the House is less certain, but there's no telling in an
election year. Its ability to withstand inevitable court challenges is
even more questionable.
But it's a horrible law that would set the U.S. on the path to an
abusive Chinese-style censored and tracked Internet here. -L
