- The House passed the KIDS Act, which combines various internet bills, including KOSA, and now moves to the Senate.
- The KIDS Act mandates age-gating schemes that require privacy-invasive age verification methods, risking data breaches and misuse.
- The bill pressures platforms to restrict lawful speech on topics like gambling and substance abuse, potentially harming teens seeking help.
- EFF opposes the act, advocating instead for comprehensive privacy laws that protect all users without compromising privacy or free expression.
