They're once more trying to pass KOSA, and if you don't know what that is I'll give a watered down explanation.
KOSA is the “Kids Online Safety Act.” It is NOT as good as you think. Yes, it's SUPPOSED to keep children safe online but it'll ultimately, do the opposite. This bill will take away online spaces from teenagers, and if you're like myself? The Internet is something you feel genuine safety on. KOSA will also do the following
Dissolve privacy for ANYONE under the age of 17 (or 16, I've heard both from different sources).
Throw out ANY talk of ICE.
Take away abuse (like domestic, home, physical, mental, ect) hotlines, suicide hotlines, and other VERY important hotlines
No talk of LGBTIA++ topics for minors.
Take away from sex education, body positivity, gender affirming communities, ect.
Drive up the teenage su¡cide rates.
Take away teen spaces.
And SO much more.
What can you do?
Well, you can go sign a petition to stop this (LINK) and spread awareness. That link also gives more information.
Please do something
But don't panic
Organize.
