The Protecting Kids on Social Media Act would lead to a second-class online experience for young people, mandated privacy-invasive age verification for all users, and in all likelihood, the creation of digital IDs for all U.S. citizens and residents. The bill will make it illegal for anyone under 13 to join a social media platform, and require parental consent, verified by the government, for anyone between the ages of 13 and 18 to do so. The world envisioned by the authors of this bill is one where everyone has less privacy and less power to speak out and access information online.
Let your Congress-critters know this is not the right thing to do.
Should be filterable though. It’s a very small vocal minority that even uses these automated letters to contact legislators. These don’t go unnoticed. May feel like a drop in a bucket but I think it’s best to go down fighting.
