Meta would be thrilled to see KOSA pass, since it the time and effort required to censor any content alleged to trigger anxiety or depression would cause smaller social networks to be infeasible to run. How is a Mastodon instance supposed to operate when its volunteer moderators' workload is compounded by KOSA's censorship mandate?
The EFF has raised many good points about how KOSA's censorship mandate would harm people under 18. Calling the EFF's well-reasoned arguments "FUD" and labeling people who oppose KOSA a "hive mind" is not a substitute for engaging with the facts at hand. If KOSA is as innocuous as you are claiming it is, then explain in detail how a website covered under this bill could "prevent and mitigate" anxiety or depression to comply with the bill without the use of censorship.
The EFF is not the only organization that opposes KOSA. There are over 90 more who have signed this letter condemning KOSA, including the ACLU, Yale Privacy Lab, GLAAD, and the Human Trafficking Prevention Project:
