Reconsider Support for KOSA, Prioritize Data Privacy Legislation

The proposed Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) raises significant concerns about potential censorship and increased online surveillance. Rather than enhancing safety, it may inadvertently limit access to essential resources and disproportionately impact vulnerable groups, including LGBTQ+ individuals and those escaping domestic violence. It is crucial to prioritize a Federal data privacy law, which would offer comprehensive protection against abusive tech companies. This approach would safeguard all internet users without compromising freedom of speech or access to information. Therefore, the request is to reconsider support for KOSA and instead, focus on comprehensive data privacy legislation. This would ensure a safer and more inclusive online environment for all.
