Evan Greer of Fight for the Future:
“If KOSA were actually a privacy bill as its supporters claim, we would be all about it,” Greer told Ars. “We support cracking down on tech companies harvesting of data, we support an end to manipulative business practices like autoplay, infinite scroll, intrusive notifications, and algorithmic recommendations powered by commercial surveillance. What we don’t support is a bill that gives state attorneys general the power to dictate what content younger people can see on social media. That’s where KOSA goes off the rails and becomes a censorship bill, rather than a privacy bill.”

Good thing there’s no duty of care on the parents who space out on their kid using a tablet for 16 hours a day. Better ruin the Internet for them.
