Strip away the labels, and here is what these proposals share. Sold as child protection, they work by requiring everyone to verify their identity to access ordinary online spaces, passports, face scans, government ID. Australia, the UK, and the EU are each building a version of it right now. The stated aim is keeping kids safe. The actual mechanism is the end of anonymous speech for everyone, because you cannot check who is a minor without identifying every adult too. This is not a left or right project. It is happening across the political spectrum and across borders, which is exactly what makes it worth watching closely.

Time to drag this out of the vault:
The poll sample was 1100 subjects. So just a reminder that 83% of 1100 people is 913 people. There are 173 million voters in US so the poll was of .000527745665% voters. Yes, that's right......00052774665% of American voters want the this bill. Not 83%
The KIDS Act is a disgraceful sellout to big tech lobbyists. Congress is trading our 4th Amendment rights for lobbying and campaign money.
The KIDS Act is a collection of bills pretending to protect kids but that truly just further track & trace and the digital prison buildout. The corruption in Washington knows no bounds.

I tried to track down the REAL writers of the (KIDS ACT) . And as I dig I found interesting Document . 🚨(EBAY) PUSHED this ‼️shown in Lobbying Disclosure form. 🤔 They show the exact financial trail (LD-2), the exact textual trail (H.R. 6292 & H.R. 6437), and prove they were funneled into H.R. 7757.
An LD-2 Disclosure Form from ebay Inc🚨🚨 I found a LOBBYING DISCLOSURE .
Date: 10/20/2025 (Q3 2025).
Lobbying Income: $1,830,000.00 for the quarter.
It said 🚨🚨
• Specific Issues Lobbied:
• "Kids Online Safety Act (H.R. 7891/ S. 1409)" This is Title II of the KIDS Act.
• "Children and Teens' Online Privacy Protection Act (H.R. 7890/ S. 836)"¹This is the core of Title VI (COPPA 2.0) in the KIDS Act.
• "American Privacy Rights Act (H.R. 8818)" This is the federal privacy framework eBay wants to override state laws.
• "App Store Accountability Act (H.R. 3149/ S.1586)" This targets Apple and Google, provisions of which are found in the regulatory frameworks of the KIDS Act.
• "Issues related to third-party liability" and "The SHOP SAFE Act". This creates legal immunity for Big Tech while crushing small competitors.

eBay spent nearly $2 million in Q3 2025 explicitly lobbying for the exact legislative components that appear in H.R. 7757 six months later (March 2026). They did not lobby for "child safety" generally. They lobbied for specific bills (KOSA, COPPA 2.0) and specific regulatory outcomes (App Store accountability, third-party liability). H.R. 7757 is the legislative vehicle that delivers exactly what eBay bought.🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Here is more
⚠️Rep. **Frank Pallone (D-NJ)**.
Pallone is the Ranking Member of the Energy and Commerce Committee (when in the minority) or Chair (when in majority). He provided the regulatory framework for data brokers. eBay lobbied for this specific privacy framework. Pallone and eBay are aligned here.🚨🚨
Title VI (Subtitle B - Data Broker Disclosures) of H.R. 7757 contains the exact provisions found in Pallone's bill (Data Broker Registry, $22,500 fee).🚨
—-
Then found The "Kids Internet Safety Partnership Act" (H.R. 6437) was introduced by 🚨
⚠️Rep. **Russell Fry (R-SC)**.
Fry's bill creates the funding stream and the bureaucratic body. The KIDS Act absorbs this entire bill into its structure. Fry likely traded his support for the broader package in exchange for this provision.
🚨🚨 Title V (Subtitle C - Partnerships and Best Practices) of H.R. 7757 establishes the "Kids Internet Safety Partnership."
—-
🚨🚨Brett Guthrie (R-KY) is the sponsor of H.R. 7757. He is the "face" of the bill, but he is not the source of the text.
- ⚠️Guthrie sponsored the bill to give it Republican cover and to bypass debate using "Suspension of the Rules." In exchange, the bill includes Title V, which includes workforce and education provisions (Result 5 shows Guthrie's interest in workforce bills like the "Early Educators Apprenticeship Act"). Guthrie got workforce funding language in exchange for carrying eBay and Pallone's regulatory package.🚨
- Guthrie is a Republican. Republicans usually oppose federal regulation of the internet. Yet here he is introducing the largest regulatory bill for tech in years.
——🚨
- KOSA (Title II) requires platforms to implement massive compliance systems (audits, safeguards, reporting). eBay can afford this. Small startups cannot. eBay pays for regulations that kill their competitors.🚨
**App Store Control:** eBay lobbied for "App Store Accountability" because they hate the fees Apple and Google charge them. The KIDS Act's provisions on online platforms and apps pave the way for challenging Apple/Google dominance under the guise of "safety."🚨
- By mandating strict "duty of care" or "safeguards," eBay can claim they are "compliant" and shift liability for bad actors to the platform itself, or conversely, argue they followed federal law if a third party sells counterfeit goods (SHOP SAFE Act lobbying)

The Kids safety Act was WRITTEN by BIG TECH lobbyists the proof is in the BILL….. 🚨🚨ONE section reveals it KOSA (Title II) in H.R. 7757
- Section 213(c) explicitly says:* "Nothing in this section may be construed to... impose a duty of care on a provider of a covered platform."⚠️⬅️🚨🚨🚨
BIG TECH wanted the removal of the “Duty of Care” 🔑
Like Meta, Snap, TikTok, ByteDance, Google (YouTube)🚨
Because they are the ones facing massive lawsuits about addiction and mental health (Social Media Harm litigation). They need a federal shield. H.R. 7757 provides that shield:🚨🚨🚨
Thats why congress put it in the BILL⚠️
Nothing in this section may be construed to... impose a duty of care. (Sec 213(c)(2))🚨
And Congress made SURE ‼️ that LAWSUITS go to "The United States District Court for the District of Columbia shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any challenge...
(Sec 702) -🚨🚨
- Enforced by FTC only … BIG TECH wants to SHIELD 🛡️ itself from
private class actions. Thats why congress made DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA as ONLY PLACE where you can challenge it 🚨🚨🚨🚨
BIG TECH couldn’t Regulatory CAPTURE 50 STATE AGs … so instead they CAPTURED the “FTC” because they are currently being sued in State Courts (California, Utah, etc.) for "Product Liability" (Duty of Care). This bill is their **Hail Mary**.🚨🚨🚨🚨
- State lawsuits filed 2023-2025.
- Bill introduced March 2026.
- Passed June 2026.
Legal Defense Funds of Meta, Snap, TikTok, and ByteDance
They drafted the bill (via lobbyists) to include:🚨🚨
1. Removal of Duty of Care . (The specific defeat of plaintiff legal theory).
2. Preemption . (Stops the state lawsuits).
3. Exclusive DC Jurisdiction. (Moves venue to agency-friendly court).
4. FTC Enforcement Only. (No private class action payouts).

What I dislike most about the KIDS Act and other "online safety" bills supposedly "helping parents" is that it allows politicians to pretend they're empowering you. It's a lie. You're giving up authority, and the laws absolve parents of responsibility in guiding their kids ⬇️

⚠️There are a lot of campaigns/petitions going around right now to oppose KOSA and the KIDS Act. They ask for your information and add you to a letter or petition.
These are DATA COLLECTION campaigns, and they do not [usually] influence lawmakers.
Please take 2 minutes to call the US Senate switchboard and give message to your senators asking them to vote NO on KIDS Act and KOSA.
