Great research! ID age verification laws are not only incredibly invasive, but corrupt as well.
Tech companies like Meta are actively lobbying for these mass surveillance laws.
KOSA Is Back & They’re Silencing Those Speaking Up
KOSA is back, it passed the House, and now the Senate gets another shot at doing what this government does best: pretending to protect kids while handing censors, lobbyists, and unelected bureaucrats more power over what the public is allowed to say and see online.
If you think that sounds dramatic, I am literally being silenced on TikTok for speaking out about it.
Please stand up and make some noise while there’s still time.
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.

if you hate the KIDS act. You should act now if you're in Texas. SCOPE act and app store accountability act is the KIDS act; the two acts demand IDs to use social media and use the app store
🚨 UPDATE on the freedom-killing KIDS Act. The bill has not yet shown up on the Senate legislation tracker, but we CANNOT RISK them rushing it through like they did in the House.
Call your Senators NOW and refer to it as H.R.7757, the KIDS Act.

You know this Politician, Jon Schweppe guy, the guy who is cheering for the mass privacy invasion the US with that new SCREEN Act, the "age verification" bill...
Just a cursory look at his public profile I see some really, two-faced things he is doing.
He calls himself a "populist", a guy who "listens to the people"...well the people of US in question, seem to REALLY hate government invasion of privacy and most do not want government to meddled in the affairs of their children. Most Americans instead want to be solely responsible for keeping their own child safe from certain online content.
So in other words, Jon Schweppe - lies about being a populist, to him it looks like a cheap marketing tool used by another slimy, cynical, two-faced politician who just wants to add more power to the surveillance state.
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.
Wasn't expecting to have my voice be relevant in the converstaion but I'm happy the word is getting round
Anyways, we've been fighting KOSA for almost a decade, becoming a loud annoyance to your reps WORKS, they're TERRIFIED of losing power, they're TERRIFIED of US
Parents can block “dangerous” apps and sites in 2 minutes with effective parental controls.
If they do, the government can't mandate identity verification for mass surveillance. Using kids like this is disgusting.
Tech experts see you, Jake.
**This bill is a fucking Trojan Horse. Period.**🚨🚨🚨
Its a federal surveillance and control system over the entire internet that will be used on adults.🚨🚨🚨
Using child safety. As cover 🚨🚨
1. It builds a national digital ID system through the back door.🚨⚠️
The bill says three times it does not require age verification. That is a lie. Every single protection in the bill only triggers when a platform "knows or should have known" a user is a minor. No platform can prove it did not know without checking. The bill creates a legal trap where the only safe path is to card everyone. Once that infrastructure is built, it does not get turned off when you turn 18. The same system that checks if you are 16 today checks if you are 21 tomorrow. The same database that verifies a teenager verifies a gun buyer, a voter, a patient. This is a national digital identity system built under the cover of child protection.
⚠️⚠️2. It hands the FTC the keys to the internet.**
The FTC gets authority over age verification standards, content safety audits, data broker registries, social media research, chatbot rules, gaming platform safety, educational resources, advertising regulations, and enforcement of the entire act. The FTC becomes the operational regulator of the American internet. This is the largest federal power grab over online platforms in a decade, buried inside a children's safety bill where nobody will vote against it.
⚠️⚠️3. It forces companies to spy on children to prove they are protecting them.**
The audit requirements mandate platforms track and report how many minors use their service, how long they spend, what safety features they use, what reports they file, and what personal information is collected. The government orders companies to gather detailed statistics about children under the banner of protecting them. A bill that claims to protect children's privacy mandates the collection of more data about children than has ever been collected before.
🚨🚨4. It shields Big Tech and crushes small competitors.
The data broker rules exempt Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft because their product is advertising services, not data sales. The companies that collect the most minor data in the world are exempt from the data broker regulations. The compliance costs annual third-party audits, safety tools, parental controls, reporting systems, age verification infrastructure cost millions. Big tech absorbs this. Small platforms die. The bill consolidates market power among the largest tech monopolies while pretending to regulate them.
5. It cuts parents out through school contracts.**🚨🚨🚨
Educational technology companies can collect children's personal information without parental consent if they have a written agreement with a school. The school consents. The parent is never told. Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Canvas—they all get direct access to student data through school district contracts. This is a corporate pipeline of minor data with zero parental involvement, written into a bill that claims to empower parents.
6. It kills encryption through regulatory pressure. 🚨🚨🚨
The bill says it does not require breaking encryption. Another lie. It requires platforms to provide messaging controls, content filtering, and safety features for minors. On an end-to-end encrypted platform, you cannot filter content you cannot see. The only way to comply is to either break encryption for minor accounts or disable it entirely. The bill creates regulatory pressure to destroy encryption while claiming to protect it. Once encryption is weakened for minors, the vulnerability exists for everyone.
Here are the two deepstate politicians leading the KOSA bill in the senate.
Senator MARSHA BLACKBURN (R-TN) and Senator RICHARD BLUMENTHAL (D-CT).
They are currently in the process of TAKING AWAY OUR FREEDOM and turning our country into the UK.
good, let's do this again with voting no on KOSA
Don't just retweet and donate, call all your representatives and senators to vote no on the bill that will destroy our freedom on our internet
