The solution here is to implement child-only phones. Phones with more limited abilities/access to the internet.
But no. It's not about protecting children it's about surveillance.
i like how their first instinct is "it’s fake food" and not "it’s poor quality produce that wasn’t conserved properly in the supply chain" so now instead of advocating for better food regulations they just spat out conspiracy theories online

KOSA is back and is going to be pushed through the Senate Commerce Committee markup some point in the future. This is after a rally put on by NCOSE, an extremist Christian right-wing group that likes to pretend it's anti-trafficking but is actually pro-censorship of everything
Let me put it more into context. This would apply to things like Google Search, since it utilizes AI. Once age verification is normalized nationally, it will allow speedrunning passing bills like KOSA and worse.
The GUARD Act must NOT pass.

the thing is, to make art, to fall in love, to do anything really worth doing, you have to risk embarrassment, humiliation, heartbreak. to do anything you have to risk being. and that's being in front of—or more scary, with—others.

Heads up that California's AB 1043, the Digital Age Assurance Act, is the model for this. It was signed into law by Newsom on October 13, 2025, and will take effect on January 1, 2027 for all new device setups and app downloads. Govt-mandated data harvest for big tech.
Don Bluth, creator of The Land Before Time and All Dogs Go To Heaven, famously said that kids can handle anything in a film so long as you put a happy ending on it and he was and always has been completely right.
"Nicknamed the Kids Internet and Digital Safety (KIDS) Act, the bill would require the millions of Americans who use apps and play games on their phones to provide ID to do so. The legislation, of course, sells itself as a way to protect the children. In practice, however, it would serve only to eviscerate First Amendment rights and give Big Tech more data for hackers to steal. Congress should clear this bill from its legislative cache and find a way to protect children that doesn’t treat everyone like a kid." @garre
