Snapchat has signed on in support of the horrific Kids Online Safety Act
Just FYI. Keep in mind that the requirements of this act could basically end the Internet as we know it, ultimately turning it into a China-style government system with all users' activity being linked to their
government IDs, and vast new opportunities created for personal information breaches. If you're OK with that under one party's administration, consider what the OTHER party could do with it. No matter where you stand politically, it's a train wreck for the Net, and it will make things more dangerous for children, not safer.
@lauren It did occur to me reading the Politico piece that Snapchat may be doing this to get out in front of the inevitable reworking of §230, and wants to appear conciliatory. KOSA remains an unworkable nightmare piece of work, though.
@klausfiend @lauren https://qoto.org/@olives/111820823469468272 I had some thoughts on that here. Random thoughts though.
