Once again, KOSA supporters say it out loud: "design features" is a smokescreen; what they are really doing is going after content.

There is no "balancing" of the First Amendment with "safety." Congress is not empowered to decide what speech is too dangerous for us.

WASHINGTON U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) cosponsored the Kids Online Safety Act. which would provide kids and parents with the tools, safeguards, and transparency they need to protect against threats to children's health and wellbeing online:

"Every day, our children see content online about suicide, eating disorders, and drug use, and the statistics on teen suicide and mental health paint an alarming picture for the next generation," Cornyn said in a news release. "This bill strikes the right balance between First Amendment rights and safety, and I'm proud the Senate has finally taken an important step to help keep America's children safe online."

1. There is no such balance. Freedom is risky, censorship is deadly.

make them read books... and meet friends outside to either a) play or b) get into trouble.
