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.

But it's literally the same thing.

> This bill requires covered online platforms, including social media platforms, to implement tools and safeguards to protect users and visitors under the age of 17.

What is an "online platform", and how would they know the visitor is under 17?
