The Kids Online Safety Act isn’t all right, critics say
The debate over the federal Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and its potential impact on censorship and privacy concerns.
Key points:
- Critics warn that KOSA could lead to widespread censorship and privacy concerns.
- The bill faced significant blowback from various organizations due to its vague "duty of care" provision, which could result in over-moderation and imprecise content filtering.
- While the bill has undergone amendments, some critics argue that the changes are not sufficient to address its flaws, particularly regarding the duty of care provision.
