3 Huge Tech Companies Endorse Bill That Could Wipe Abortion Info From the Internet.::The misleadingly-named Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) just got a boost from Silicon Valley.
Serious question: If this bill passes, how will the US Internet be meaningfully different than China’s Internet, if it’s used to censor stuff the government doesn’t like?
Have these people nothing better to do.
Fact: Any time a bill has a name about protecting children, it’s never actually about protecting children.
Also, what do the big tech companies have to gain by supporting this bill? They’re typically opposed to anything that can open them up to litigation.
For whatever reason, when I hear KOSA, it conjures up SOPA and PIPA. Feels like it’s been so long since any of these came up but I guess existential-level threats to internet content and privacy never fully die~
It’s because this bill is the evolution of those bills.
