EFF’s take on the amended version of KOSA. TL;DR summary:
We are asking everyone reading this to oppose this latest version, and to demand that their representatives oppose it—even if you have already done so.
I am sad that censorship is still, still, a thing that is considered by the people who write the laws in the US. This law is antithetical to all of us who enjoy the freedom to express our views without restraint.
Always ask yourself, “Who profits from this?”
My read is social media companies and Karens. Social media companies because it raises the barrier to entry (would Lemmy be able to handle PII properly?) and gives them even more data.

Don’t Fall for the Latest Changes to the Dangerous Kids Online Safety Act
Could’ve worded that headline better. I’m all for getting rid of dangerous kids
But you should know that if it’s a law or act with kids in the title, it will have absolutely nothing to do with kids in any way
That’s what dangerous kids want you to think
To the geriatrics in Congress, kid is anyone under 50
Sounds about right
The older they are, the more dangerous they get.
