 'our' government is trying more control activities which if enacted, further control our lives, via information access;


Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Ct.) introduced bipartisan legislation called the "Kids Online Safety Act" (KOSA) that, contrary to its name, would do nothing to protect children from the horrors on the internet.

KOSA is simply a Trojan horse bill from both sides of the aisle in Congress that aims to use the excuse of "child safety" to "impose sweeping new obligations on an array of digital platforms," to quote The Washington Post. Such obligations include requiring that tech platforms "exercise[e] reasonable care" to prevent children from "bullying, harassment, and other harms."

The New York Times reported that this "duty of care" imposed on "social media platforms and video games" will protect minors from "depression, eating disorders, violence, sexual exploitation and predatory marketing."

(Related: The United Kingdom just passed a similar "Online Safety Act" that goes after freedom of speech online.)

"Bullying" is subjective

Over the past 10 or so years, the concept of "bullying" has really taken the limelight as a worthy censorship cause. The calculated reason for this is that "bullying" is a subjective concept much like a "hate crime" that allows tyranny to slip in undetected.

The more they can recategorize certain forms of free speech as "hate speech" or "bullying," the easier they can trample on the First Amendment, which is exactly what this is all about...........more...........
