Kids Online Safety Act Continues to Threaten Our Rights Online: 2024 in Review

KOSA would allow the FTC to sue apps and websites that don’t take measures to restrict young people’s access to content.

EFF : The bill will lead to broad online censorship of lawful speech, including content designed to help children navigate and overcome the very same harms it identifies.

The biggest problem is in its vague “duty of care” requirements.

KOSA would allow the FTC to exert control over online speech, and there’s no reason to think the incoming FTC won’t use that power.

The nominee for FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson has promised to protect free speech by “fighting back against the trans agenda,” among other things.

EFF thanks supporters who have sent nearly 50,000 messages to Congress on this topic.
