Stop KOSA. Why the KOSA Bill is Dangerous and Should be Rejected
stopkosa.com
KOSA is a bill that aims to protect children online but it would do so in harmful ways. First, it would pressure platforms to install content filters that would censor large amounts of content, including important suicide prevention and LGBTQ+ support resources. Content filters have a history of overblocking important information. Second, KOSA would ramp up online surveillance of all users by expanding age verification and parental monitoring tools. These tools are unnecessarily invasive and pose risks to young people trying to escape abuse. Over 90 rights groups agree that KOSA is dangerous and cannot be fixed through amendments. If you value a free and open internet, contact your lawmakers to reject KOSA.

It's coined as the "Helen Lovejoy Syndrome" after a Simpson's episode from the nineties.
Won't somebody please think of the children?
"The war on drugs" has entered the chat

If I recall correctly, that began because white men were afraid that non-white men would rape their wives. I'm not exactly sure how banning drugs was supposed to help, though.
Yes, true. I guess its more of a shitty comeback, worse than before.
