Despite never addressing this central problem, some members of Congress are convinced that a new change will avoid censoring the internet: KOSA’s liability is now theoretically triggered only for content that is recommended to users under 18, rather than content that they specifically search for. But that’s still censorship—and it fundamentally misunderstands how search works online.

    The intent of KOSA is to silence trans folk. The creators of the bill admitted as much.

    You can’t do that and still honor the first amendment of the US Constitution. I think they’re just trying to fish for a judge who will handwave it through anyway.

    Sadly, considering the state of the judiciary, they have a good chance of succeeding.

      Folks said something similar in the 00’s when the EFF was trying to get folks my age to join.
