Lawmakers who support KOSA today are choosing to trust the current administration, and future administrations, to define what youth—and to some degree, all of us—should be allowed to read online.
KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast.
This legislation makes the online environment for children worse, so it’s a moot point; whether you think it’s the government’s place to take a proactive stance on this or not, it’s still bad either way.
