KOSA and other Bad Internet Bills (US-specific for now)

In late 2025, Congress is once again considering KOSA along with a package of other #BadInternetBills internet bills. EFF, Fight for the Future, ACLU, Woodhull Foundation, and dozens of other groups continue been sounding the alarm, and grassroots activisms have joined in to make it it clear that these bills are terrible ideas. Alas, Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation. We're organizing to keep them from sneaking these bad internet bills through.

It seems the root of bills such as this is the notion that children are property. When viewed in that light they make (some) sense. However if one believes that children are people these bills are vile and should be fought against.
