"Senate Passes Updated Kids Online Safety Act with Wide Support"

The latest version of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) remains a dangerous censorship bill that empowers state officials to target online content they don't like, posing a threat to minors' access to lawful speech and information. Despite some changes, KOSA still raises First Amendment concerns and could harm vulnerable communities, including LGBTQ+ youth and those seeking mental health and reproductive rights information. The bill's "duty of care" provision and enforcement by state attorneys general continue to pose censorship risks, prompting the EFF to urge people to oppose the bill and demand that their representatives do the same.
