The latest draft of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) has been criticized for being a censorship bill that threatens free speech, privacy, and online resources for minors.
KOSA’s 'duty of care' forces online services to alter their policies based on online expression, mischaracterizing the harms of online content as design-related issues, which they are not.
The authors of KOSA are mistaken in believing they can protect platform liability without impacting users’ freedom of speech, leading to increased risk and limited resources for children.
With its current framework, KOSA risks alienating children from supportive online communities and access to crucial resources, rather than providing the intended protections.
