Beware of Bad Online Bills (Vent)

Posted by MageKate07 - September 20th, 2023


This is more of a vent than anything, but I want people to be aware of what's going through US Congress (and I haven't posted anything in a long while).


It's probably easier if you look up the information for yourself, but the short (and easy for me to explain) version is that there's a series of bad internet bills that are currently on pending at the White House. If these bills get passed, then it could change the internet as we know it; encouraging censorship and limiting resources for youth.


The most danger out of all of them being KOSA (Kids Online Safety Act), which claims it wants to restrict internet access in the guise of protect them. However, if you read the bill closely, then you would notice that it's rather vague on what is "foreseeable risks of harm to minor," giving government (and who knows what else) access on what content will be on the internet. That might not sound too bad, but who knows what will be blocked just because it's supposedly harmful for kids.


It's not the happiest news I posted. However, like I said, I want people in the US to be aware of this happening, and for them to speak (or email) to their local congressmen to remind them why these internet bills are just bad online censorship. Thank you for reading this vent of mine. Have a good day.


There are many ways to protect our freedom on the internet, and writing this is my way.
