It seems the root of bills such as this is the notion that children are property. When viewed in that light they make (some) sense. However if one believes that children are people these bills are vile and should be fought against.

If it’s “to protect the kids” it’s usually bullshit that’ll take away freedoms and privacy.

9.99999 times out of 10 it’s just an appeal to emotion to keep people from looking behind the curtain.

KOSA and other Bad Internet Bills (US-specific for now)

Red alert! For the last six months, EFF, Fight for the Future, ACLU, Woodhull Foundation, and dozens of other groups have been sounding the alarm about several #BadInternetBills that have been put forward in Congress. We’ve made it clear that these bills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation. We’re organizing to keep them from sneaking these bad internet bills through.

This community is for news stories, opinion pieces, and action links about these bad internet bills. Please help get the word out!

And if you use microblogging software like Mastodon, please also check out the #BadInternetBills hashtag.
