Based on Mike Masnick's observations on the KOSA bill, I just wrote to my Senators to oppose KOSA:
The creators of FOSTA are at it again, trying to further regulate the Internet in ways which will harm the most vulnerable. This time they're attacking the ability of kids to communicate.
As someone who came of age in the early days of online communication (the '80s), and found particular solace in being able to escape bullying at schools by finding communities which helped me communicate with my actual peers, and see horizons beyond my limited family culture, I'm very sensitive to attempts to restrict access to communications with ill-defined notions of "harm" to minors.
Not to mention the civil liberties and free speech impacts that bills like this have.
Please help shut this latest misguided attempt to harm children down.
