In a disappointing move, the Senate has passed the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), allowing federal and state governments to investigate and sue websites deemed harmful to minors. LGBT Tech has been unwavering in voicing our continued concerns around KOSA, in particular the risks its language poses for the LGBTQ+ community. The bill’s vague requirements and potential for overreach continue to threaten the constitutionally protected speech of marginalized communities like ours.
We urge the House to vote against this legislation unless these critical issues are addressed.
More materials on LGBTQ+ concerns and considerations around KOSA can be found in our recent letter to Congressional members, as well as our Kids Online Safety Act infographic.
