I look forward to the current us admin forcing the uk to very publicly walk this back. Their motivation will have nothing to do with defending free speech, but an enemy of my enemy IS my friend.

S.1748 - Kids Online Safety Act[1] is working its way through and as I understand it has fairly broad support.

There may be significant differences between KOSA and OSA in their implementation but they are the same in essence.

KOSA is one of those bills that gets introduced in every session (sometimes under different names) without any chance of passing.
