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.

Nice, that means in the future only browsing with webcam on and IG card possible.

I dunno who it was who decided that legislation should parent their kids instead of them having to do it themselves, but if I ever find them I'm going to slap the shit out of them.

i told ya they were going to try again until they succeeded.

the solution is deposing those people, not trying to fight off every attempt until they do.

Forget about children ever seeing any atheist content again. The religious wackos will definitely make sure that they can brainwash children with stupid religious fiction.

What if I don't have kids? I don't need these rules.

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...

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'.
