As a reminder, there are a number of bills like this that other states are also trying to pass or have passed, and nation-wide federal bills in the works for it too, like the KIDS Act, KOSA, Coppa 2.0, the App Store Accountability act etc
Contact your representatives and tell them to oppose them!

They're trying to create some of those Dog-like eastern Kobolds
Ft. & Commissiοned by @extremenyoom!
(Cοnsider suppοrting on Patreοn for more dogolds!)
Undoubted PROOF (KIDS ACT) was PAID for by Over 120 major tech, telecom, and media companies 🚨🚨🚨file lobbying occurred on a single bill 2024-2025⚠️⚠️⚠️
⚠️they are not reading it. They are negotiating the text. Lobbying disclosures on a bill mean those companies submitted markups, drafted amendments, met with committee staff, and traded provisions behind closed doors. They bought their way into the drafting room.🚨🚨🚨🚨
This is textbook regulatory capture.🚨🚨
⚠️⚠️It looks like companies funding the bill, hired the lobbyists who drafted the language, working with the legislators who sponsor it, and voting it through before the opposition can read it. The KIDS Act is a consolidated package. H.R. 7757 is the container. S.1409 is the engine. The companies in the screenshot paid for it…
The lobbying database confirms the money trail.

We just needed 12 more to vote No to stop this trojan-horse bill, because it takes 2/3 to pass under a suspension of the rules.
Too many were afraid to vote against the “KIDS Act” title, or didn’t know what the bill will really do, or just want government to have total control.
This section you see is from the (KIDS ACT) ⬅️
It shows you the REAL INTENTION on page 110. 🚨
First this ENTIRE bill is a wolf in sheep's clothing🚨 - it uses children's safety as a vehicle to expand government control over the internet, normalize surveillance and verification systems, and create a regulatory framework that can be expanded to adults later.⚠️
One section that LIFTS the MASK is page 110 🎭 where they RESTRICTED DC as ONLY place where you can CONSTITUTIONALLY CHALLENGE this SURVEILLANCE court IN COURT ‼️
In the jurisdiction provision (Section 702)
IF this bill were truly about protecting children, why would you need to concentrate all constitutional challenges in one court?
It TELLS you this is about controlling the legal narrative and preventing scattered rulings that might strike down provisions.⚠️⚠️

Deeper look there are TONS of CONTRADICTIONS 🚨🚨
The bill says it does not require age verification in three separate places:
• Page 38, Section 220: "Nothing in this subtitle may be construed to require the provider of a covered platform to implement an age gating or age verification functionality"
• Page 99, Section 602(f): Same language for COPPA 2.0
• Page 13, Section 103(f): "Nothing in this section may be construed to require the submission of government-issued identification"
But every single protection in the bill is triggered by one phrase: when a platform "knows" a user is a minor. The "knows" standard is defined as "know or should have known" on pages 17, 40, 45, and 79.⚠️
This creates an impossible trap:🚨
1. If a platform does NOT verify age, it "should have known" minors were present and faces liability for failing to provide protections
2. If a platform DOES verify age, it collects age data on every user, which creates privacy risks and potential liability
The bill says "you don't have to verify age" while simultaneously making it impossible to comply without verifying age. This is not a contradiction. This is the design.
The bill uses children's safety as the vehicle to normalize age verification across the entire internet. Once age verification infrastructure exists for minors, it exists for everyone. The system built to check if you are 16 will be the same system used to check if you are 21, 35, or a registered voter.⚠️🚨🚨🚨

JURISDICTION SHELL GAME 🚨
Page 107, Section 702: "The United States District Court for the District of Columbia shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any challenge to the constitutionality of this Act or the constitutionality of any action, finding, or determination under this Act."
One court. All challenges. No exceptions.
This means:
• A company in California cannot challenge in the Ninth Circuit
• A civil liberties group in New York cannot challenge in the Second Circuit
• Every constitutional challenge must go to the same DC court that routinely handles federal government cases
This is designed to concentrate legal challenges in a venue favorable to the government and prevent multiple circuit courts from issuing injunctions against the law. If the DC court upholds the law once, it becomes extremely difficult to challenge elsewhere.🚨🚨

THE ADVERTISING MEASUREMENT LOOPHOLE🚨🚨
Page 39, Section 233(b): "Nothing in this subtitle may be construed to limit the processing of personal information solely for measuring or reporting advertising or content performance, reach, or frequency, including through an independent measurement."
➡️⚠️🚨The "Stop Profiling Youth and Kids Act" does not stop profiling for advertising measurement. It only stops "market research." Platforms can still process minor's personal information for advertising performance metrics. This is the commercial exploitation pathway left open while the privacy provisions are presented as protections. 😆
