I urge you to reject both the House-approved KIDS Act and the Senate version of KOSA. The House has already made a grave error in approving legislation that masquerades as child protection while fundamentally threatening privacy and free speech. The bill's age-verification mandate—disguised through liability language requiring platforms to "know or should have known" a user's age—will inevitably push companies toward invasive identity verification and behavioral surveillance on all users. The bill claims not to require age gating, yet its legal structure makes this the only viable option for platforms facing liability. This strips adults of the ability to access lawful content anonymously—a protection the Supreme Court has long defended. Age verification and surveillance are the real costs of this legislation. I expect you to vote NO on both versions of this bill. The Senate has an opportunity to reject the House's mistake and protect the internet from becoming an identity-gated surveillance network. Your vote on this legislation will significantly influence my support for you in future elections. If you vote yes on the House KIDS Act, the Senate KOSA, or any similar legislation, you will lose my support. Conversely, a principled NO vote demonstrates you prioritize privacy and free speech over performative "child protection." This is a critical moment. I trust you will stand with your constituents' privacy rights.
