Better than I predicted, but the KIDS Act still passed the House.
Here are the 32 Republicans and 89 Democrats that voted against massive data collection and surveillance of American children and citizens. 🙏🏼🇺🇸
My prediction that KIDS Act stalls in the Senate stands. They will hold out for KOSA and duty of care.
The internet could change if the U.S. House passes the KIDS Act today to "protect children." Critics warn it could mean de facto age checks for everyone and weakened encrypted communications.
The KIDS Act is a package of around a dozen bills that pairs a revised Kids Online Safety Act with new age-verification, AI chatbot, and messaging rules.
Digital rights group EFF warns the design would pressure platforms to age-check all users, not just minors, since liability can attach when a service "should have known" a user's age, and flags new rules touching encrypted and disappearing messages. Sponsors Brett Guthrie (R) and Frank Pallone (D) say it's kids-safety protection and note KOSA's text says age verification isn't required.
Martial arts grandmaster and action star Chuck Norris has died, his family said in a statement. He was 86.
Norris was a six-time undefeated World Professional Middleweight Karate champion. He founded the United Fighting Arts Federation, as well as a style of karate sometimes known as Chun Kuk Do.
@DeepHumor Unfortunately, Marsha Blackburn presides over my district. That bitch lost my vote when I first heard that she spearheaded age verification. I bet she won't like it when she has to provide an ID. Nobody is above your stupid laws, not even you.
@JonSchweppe We are allowed to protect ourselves from all threats, foreign & domestic. Trump would get heat if he tried to force a national online ID, so state governments are doing it with very little coverage. You’re trying to ninja these things into place. This is why you get voted out
@JonSchweppe It is that simple. Tell the parents to use the tools that are already available to stop their kids from becoming future sexual predators. “Age verification” & “online ID” is secret code for the early signs of suppressing your residents. We have the Constitution on our side. 1/2
@discord_support A data breach shortly after implementing face scans/ digital IDs requirements in several countries last year. Now you expect us to be willing to do the same in the US? WRONG! My much older than teen self doesn't need your "teens for all" limit. I won't be the only one to bail.
Watch live games anywhere, huh? Well, @paramountplus won’t let me watch the #BufvsDen game on my phone. So, false advertising. All for billions of dollars because investors want money once, not repeat customers. Got it.
@ConnorZilisch If you perform in Cup next year like you did in Xfinity this year, they wouldn’t have pulled that shit. Go out there & make them regret their decision.
