The latest from @RSI discusses how #KOSA grants far too much power to the @FTC and would allow "a small group of federal officials appointed by the President to decide what content is dangerous for young people.” ⬇️
The @HouseCommerce Committee heard arguments regarding #KOSA last week. Members should remember @ceidotorg's point that any partisan control of the @FTC would leave half of Americans unhappy. Instead, we should leave these matters to individual parents. Read more below ⬇️

"If KOSA is passed, the documented censorship people have already experienced online will be just the start." VP of @NetChoice @CarlSzabo is spot on in his most recent piece for the @dcexaminer.

"KOSA would replace parents with politicians, giving the government yet another tool for censoring inconvenient content and pushing their own agendas." —@CarlSzabo @dcexaminer washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…
#KOSA's vague language lets parents or kids opt out of platforms using personalized data recommendations. This could restrict access to adaptive learning technology. keepkidssafeandconnected.com/kosaanalysis
If we don't take our kids' mental health seriously, who will? Online privacy legislation needs to steer away from harmful policies that would ultimately create more anxiety and stress for young people. keepkidssafeandconnected.com/issues-1/propo…
The revised #KOSA bill's application to schools could still give kids the ability to delete school records without their teachers' or parents' consent. With such an impact on education, it begs the question; how exactly does this help our kids? keepkidssafeandconnected.com/kosaanalysis

As one mom puts it, #KOSA will empower the government to "micromanage" decisions that should be made between parents and their kids. @nycischool inewsnetwork.net/11842/uncatego…

.@CenDemTech's Jain focuses on fact that kids can’t give meaningful consent as adults can, thus why they need additional protections. Comprehensive privacy legislation is a good baseline for protecting kids, & more can be built on top to avoid creating lower standards for kids.
KOSA not only fails to achieve its goal—to keep kids safe online—but it also has serious unintended consequences. Read more from @CarlSzabo in @dcexaminer today: washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…
