> KOSA does NOT prevent people under 18 from watching anything they want. You're assuming that people under 18 do not want to see content that may trigger anxiety or depression. The reality is that not everything in the world is positive, and people under 18 also want to be informed of negative news (such as the introduction of KOSA) so that they can educate themselves and respond appropriately. > More specious FUD. The only FUD here is the KOSA bill itself, which is a censorship bill that is being pushed as a way to "think of the children". Hiding content that may trigger anxiety or depression from people under 18 does not "protect children" any more than banning books does. Richard Blumenthal already has a history of introducing and co-sponsoring internet censorship bills including the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) and the EARN IT Act, bills that the public does not support. KOSA is yet another iteration of the same authoritarian lawmaking. Over 90 human rights organizations oppose KOSA because the bill harms people under 18 by diminishing their privacy, safety, and ability to access information: https://www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2022-11-28-letter-90-lgbtq-and-human-rights-organizations-oppose-kosa https://www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2022-11-28-letter-90-.... These organizations include ones dedicated to civil rights, youth advocacy, and LGBTQ representation. No amount of hand-waving can make up for the problems in KOSA, a bill that has a negative impact on people under 18 despite its supporters' claims to the contrary.
