I am proud that my COPPA 2.0 legislation to reign in Big Tech and protect young people's privacy online just advanced unopposed through the Commerce Committee. We are one step closer to stopping Big Tech from tracking, targeting and traumatizing young people online.

Today, the Senate Commerce Committee took a critical step to protect kids/teens online by advancing the KOSA and COPPA 2.0 out of committee, in a unanimous, bipartisan fashion. Now we look to @SenSchumer to bring this legislation for a full Senate vote. https://designitforus.org/…

As the Senate Commerce Committee votes on #KOSA & #COPPA 2.0 this morning, CDT calls for members to reject these bills that jeopardize all users' privacy & free expression rights, & enable state AGs to further censor legally-protected speech for & by marginalized voices.

Fortunately, more and more people are realizing that #KOSA is basically a “Don't Say Gay” bill for the entire internet. Tens of thousands of people have already taken action today at https://badinternetbills.com/

President Biden and Senate Dems are pushing KOSA, which the Heritage Foundation has boasted they will use to ban LGBTQ content online. This is a profoundly bad bill. [image]
