Oppose KOSA and Any Package Including Age Verification Mandates
To: Sen. McCormick, Sen. Fetterman
From: A verified voter in Lititz, PA
July 14
Oppose KOSA and any legislative package that includes it, including H.R. 7757. This bill does not protect children. It hands the Trump administration's partisan FTC a tool to block legal speech online, and tech companies will preemptively censor content themselves just to avoid federal action. That's not safety — that's government-directed censorship with extra steps.
Broad federal legislation like this actively undermines accountability. It blocks stronger state-level laws and gives big tech companies a liability shield instead of holding them responsible. The sponsors claim changes were made to address censorship concerns, but the bill's language remains vague enough to be weaponized against content on abortion rights, gender-affirming care, or anything else the current FTC decides to target. Vote no.
