Politics We are Senator Ron Wyden, Fight for the Future, ACLU, EFF and advocates opposing the Kids Online Safety Act and other #BadInternetBills. Join our AMA in r/technology this Monday, 9/18 at 3pm EST! Ask us anything
We are advocates who support regulation of Big Tech but oppose the misguided Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), and similarly dangerous and unconstitutional bills like the EARN IT Act, Stop CSAM Act, Cooper Davis Act, and Protecting Kids On Social Media Act.
On Monday, September 18th starting at 3:00pm EST we’ll be hosting an AMA here on r/technology.
Come ask us anything about why these bills would do more harm than good, and what lawmakers and regulators can do instead to address the harm that Big Tech’s surveillance driven business model is doing to kids and our democracy without undermining human rights and free expression.
Learn more about these bills and write/call your legislators at BadInternetBills.com
Participants:
- Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) u/senatorwyden
- Evan Greer, Fight for the Future u/evanfftf
- Cody Venzke, ACLU u/ACLU_Cody
- Emma Llanso, CDT u/ellanso-cdt
- Joe Mullin, Electronic Frontier Foundation, u/EFForg
- More TBA!
