KOSA won’t make kids more safe. Instead, it’ll put youth in danger by preventing
them from accessing resources they need. Concern about young people’s harm from
Big Tech are valid and real, but enabling censorship that harms the most
marginalized kids is not the answer. Lawmakers concerned about online safety
should reject KOSA and instead work to protect all internet users from abusive
tech companies by passing a federal data privacy law and measures that do not
threaten online communities that queer and trans youth depend on.

Send a letter to your lawmakers now and tell them to reject KOSA!

WHY IS KOSA A BAD BILL?

KOSA uses two methods to “protect” kids, and both of them are awful.

First, KOSA would allow the government to pressure social media platforms to
erase content that could be deemed “inappropriate” for minors. The problem is:
there is no consensus on what is inappropriate for minors. All across the
country we are seeing how lawmakers are attacking young people’s access to
gender affirming healthcare, sex education, birth control, and abortion. Online
communities and resources that queer and trans youth depend on as lifelines
should not be subject to the whims of the most rightwing extremist powers and we
shouldn’t give them another tool to harm marginalized communities. 

Second, KOSA would ramp up the online surveillance of all internet users by
expanding the use of age verification and parental monitoring tools. Not only
are these tools needlessly invasive, they’re a massive safety risk for young
people who could be trying to escape domestic violence and abuse. 

Dozens of LGBTQ+ and civil rights groups agree that KOSA is dangerous and
updates to the bill haven’t addressed the core concerns advocates have about its
impact on already often censored content and resources.  If you believe in a
free and open internet, send a message to your lawmakers right now and tell them
to reject KOSA!


I’VE HEARD THERE’S A NEW VERSION OF KOSA. WHAT’S THE DEAL?

The new version of KOSA makes some good changes: narrowing the ability of
rightwing attorneys general to weaponize KOSA to target content they don’t like
and limiting the problematic “duty of care.” However, because the bill is still
not content neutral, KOSA still invites the harms that civil rights advocates
have warned about.

As LGBTQ and reproductive rights groups have said for months, the fundamental
problem with KOSA is that its “duty of care” covers content specific aspects of
content recommendation systems, and the new changes fail to address that. In
fact, personalized recommendation systems are explicitly listed under
the definition of a design feature covered by the duty of care in the new
version. This means that a future Federal Trade Commission (FTC) could still use
KOSA to pressure platforms into automated filtering of important, but
controversial topics like LGBTQ issues and abortion, by claiming that
algorithmically recommending such content “causes” mental health outcomes that
are covered by the duty of care like anxiety and depression. Bans on inclusive
books, abortion, and gender affirming healthcare have been passed on exactly
that kind of rhetoric in many states recently. And we know that already existing
content filtering systems impact content from marginalized creators
exponentially more, resulting in discrimination and censorship.

It’s also important to remember that algorithmic recommendation includes, for
example, showing a user a post from a friend that they follow, since most
platforms do not show all users all posts, but curate them in some way. As long
as KOSA’s duty of care isn’t content neutral, platforms will be likely to react
the same way that they did to the broad liability imposed by SESTA/FOSTA: by
engaging in aggressive filtering and suppression of important, and in some cases
lifesaving, content.

We refuse to accept that trans youth and human rights must be collateral damage
in the fight to keep kids safe online. We have to keep up the pressure until
this legislation is amended to ensure it will protect all kids, rather than
endangering some of the most vulnerable.
