I didn't know about KOSA until today so I'm trying to help spread the word too
KOSA stands for Kids Online Safety Act and by wording of the bill would give state attorney generals the power to sue and ban websites that have content that is "harmful and explicit" which is stated in the bill. Sites that would be attacked would be Twitter, A03, Tumblr, Tiktok, and many more and the people that made this bill and are pushing for it have clearly come out to say that they will be using this to ban trans and LGBTQ+ content. They are pushing it as protecting kids online and helping to prevent eating disorders but in reality, it is to censor people and continue the attack on trans and queer people and children. The sponsors of this bill are publically homophobic and transphobic and these same people and offices are also co-sponsoring the Restrict Act.
If any site has any type of content that contains queer themes, state attorney generals will have the power to take them down.
Over 100 LGBTQ+ and human organizations expressed concern over this bill that was originally brought up last year and they have repeatedly said that their concerns have not been addressed. They are being actively ignored by the offices that are writing this bill.
This person on Tiktok explains it all very well
And this is her link tree for petitions and to explain
This is a very important topic and is not getting enough attention. This bill threatens LGBTQ+ and trans children and Republican offices are ignoring organizations that say it's a bad bill. We are on a very slippery slope regarding LGBTQ+ issues
If you can, please reblog. We need to spread the word about this bill
just wanted to tell y'all abt KOSA. kosa (kids online safety act) is a bill that limit the amount of explicit content that kids view. sounds good, right? nope. the bill is written by a bunch of fucking bigots. so the "explicit" content includes LGBTQ+ & other minorities. that means they can sue the website for having queer content. so yk how ao3 shut down & we're all freaking out? imagine if the website was permanently shut down or heavily limited bc this bill was passed? & then they come after tumblr, tiktok, twitter, wattpad, etc.
@omarsbigsister on tiktok has really good videos about this bill regarding more info
this is the link in her bio:
please sign the petitions. this is our spaces at risk.
