Kids Online Safety Act gains enough supporters to pass the Senate::The bill would create a duty of care for tech platforms to protect child and teen users.
That’s RIGHT! There’s NOTHING we can do about Guns because Laws don’t Work but also we NEED to CONTROL the Internet and make sure only POSITIVE THINGS about the US Government are said so we can Protect The Children!
…Or maybe they’re constitutional violations and we shouldn’t do either through legislation or through force of law?
How to protect children in the US
- Enable school shootings so kids can get shot
- Ban sex education to make teen moms and increase rape
- Ban abortion to increase poverty
- Mandate ID uploads for certain websites so kids have to ask older siblings (or even sketchier websites) to get porn
Land of the free, unless it’s not profitable, I guess?
Yeah right. Because senators who rally against gun safety laws and are generally OK with kids being shot at school are so concerned about safety.
Say goodbye to the small remaining amount of privacy we have. This will be the catalyst to shove LGBTQ+ back into the closets and it will be praised by voters as progress for protecting children and having no clue what the bill actually does
“Protect the children” is seemingly only used to encroach more and more in our personal lives. The last time it was used honestly was when we stopped making kids work in the mines.
“Land of the free”
“But not that. Or that. Actually here’s a list”
How will this age verify actually work? Sure the big sites like Facebook might have to follow this law. But won’t this just push kids to use less reputable sites or sites based outside of the US that don’t have to follow US law?
In the current draft, age verification is not required. The bill would require a study on the subject to be submitted with 1 year. The study would evaluate the most technologically feasible methods and options for developing systems to verify age at the device or operating system level. Definitely something to be fought every step of the way.
I can’t believe how many people I’ve seen on here advocate for this kind of horse shit.
