The Senate just passed a bill that will let the federal and state governments investigate and sue websites that they claim cause kids mental distress. It’s a terrible idea to let politicians and bureaucrats decide what people should read and view online, but the Senate passed KOSA on a 91-3 vote....
It passed 91-3. Our representatives are ignorant dinosaurs who don’t understand the internet or how it works. I already contacted both my senators. I plan to contact my house members before they make this abomination into a law. I encourage everyone to do the same.
They may not know how the interet works but they know exactly how manufactured hysteria works. Whenever the government says “Think of the children”, they’re trying to fool and exploit you. They don’t give a fuck about your children. Your children can’t vote.
“‘Protect kids,’ please.”
