MODERATORS
 

Lawmakers who support KOSA today are choosing to trust the current administration, and future administrations, to define what youth—and to some degree, all of us—should be allowed to read online.

KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast.

So, you're so stupid as to not be able to understand that children grow up and run the world. And you'll still be alive... So, their choices WILL affect you, your family, loved ones, friends, community, nation, etc...

This legislation makes the online environment for children worse, so it's a moot point; whether you think it's the government's place to take a proactive stance on this or not, it's still bad either way.

So...I don't get a life??? I have to live in such a way that other people can have a life but I don't get one?

Sounds like a dictatorship to me. PASS!

And you're so stupid as to not be able to understand that it's your responsibility to decide what your kids should and should not have access to, not the government's, especially when the only tools they have to do so just make it harder for the rest of us to get access to those things at best? 'Won't some one please think of the children' has worn pretty goddamned thin: think of your own children, they're your responsibility, not mine and not Congress'.
