A discussion of the problems with KOSA, the Kids Online Safety Act.

"The powers granted by KOSA would invite more unconstitutional mischief, especially in the hands of ideologically driven, politically ambitious attorneys general, who could decide to target "hate speech," discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity, or other controversial content they view as harmful. Although that might not be the destination that KOSA's supporters have in mind, the road they are paving with their good intentions includes dangerous detours with clearly marked signs."
