WOW.

In the US, activists and lawmakers are now trying to force through the ‘Kids Online Safety Act’ (KOSA)—which is intended to make the internet safer for minors by requiring social media platforms to make their platforms safer for minors.

It has garnered bipartisan support in the Senate—with a resounding 91-3 vote, but faces hurdles in the House due to concerns about potential censorship and free speech issues.

Elon Musk, through X Corp., has endorsed KOSA, working with Senators to revise the bill to ensure it does not compromise free speech.

His support aligns with his expected influence in a Trump-led administration focused on deregulation.

However, his endorsement has sparked debate; some applaud the focus on child safety, while others worry about the implications for privacy and the open nature of the internet.

Does this remind you of, I don’t know, 2 weeks ago in Australia?
