The godforsaken KIDS act has flown right through the House like a knife through butter and is heading for Senate next!

Now it's time to take the fight to the Senate, call your senators, and... You know what?

This site got you covered with the necessary scripts for whatever means you might have to reach out.

US of A, you do not wanna go down that road. I've been down that road. It's called Roskomnadzor. So do whatever you can to make sure this shit doesn't come to pass.

TL;DR:

A bunch of safety groups are urging Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie and ranking member Frank Pallone to reject the KIDS act

Led by Design It For Us, ParentsTogether, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation and the Young People’s Alliance are the main organizations, but there was 90 other ones

The main thing that they seemly want is the duty of care part of KOSA, believing that without it, big tech doesn’t get punished without it

The senates version of Kosa has the duty of care

Some house members are worried about duty of care because they “have raised concerns that it could incentivize social media platforms to overzealously censor content to avoid litigation.”

“A coalition of children’s safety advocates is urging House leaders to reject a bipartisan compromise on online safety, arguing it weakens protections for minors and lets tech companies avoid accountability.”

“the groups urged Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) and ranking member Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) to oppose the bipartisan package — known as the KIDS Act — ahead of a potential House vote as soon as next week.”

“Led by Design It For Us, ParentsTogether, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation and the Young People’s Alliance and signed by 90 other organizations,

the coalition said the deal struck by Energy and Commerce lawmakers fails to address its chief concern: the omission of a “duty of care” provision that would require tech companies to mitigate harms they know their products cause to young users.”

they wrote, “The Committee rejected our concerns and opted to negotiate a version that let Big Tech off the hook and rush this legislation to the House floor,”

They basically want the duty of care part, but “Some House members have raised concerns that it could incentivize social media platforms to overzealously censor content to avoid litigation.”

The senates version does have the duty of care

“Parents RISE, a coalition of parents who have experienced child loss or mental health difficulties due to tech platforms, sent a second letter to the same parties laying out similar qualms

“We did not create Social Media Victims Remembrance Day so that our children’s names could be used as cover for a bill that protects the very companies that harmed them,” they wrote.”

Every EVERY women’s studies class I’ve been in has had this problem and failed to address it.
