KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

    I’d be down for this if it was honestly about child proofing… But there’s no way it’s not all mainly about surveillance.

    Letting your kid on the Internet is like letting them go to NYC in the 70s alone with free range.

      Letting your kid on the Internet

      As a parent when your kid is certain ages you filter and have good conversations about human sexuality and internet safety then drop the filter when they’re ready and let them fap in peace.

      mainly about surveillance

      This is the thing.

      I am grateful we have Tor and .onions as a last line of defense. Governments can pass all the laws they want; even major ones collaborating together can only take down so many .onion sites and let’s hope they keep focusing on the truly vile ones

      I remember the 90s and 00’s. I feel like corporations paid shit and ‘yeah the fix is control+shift+t then type sudo rm rf no reserve root’ was all I really needed protecting from.

    I know lawmakers care deeply about children’s welfare, so certainly this isn’t a cynical power grab.
