This was posted on another newsletter I follow, and I feel it could be potentially a concern if it passes - in theory minors aren't allowed on EA, but there isn't any way to stop one from lying about their age, and I could easily see that being used to make a problem for EA...

The KOSA internet censorship bill just passed the senate — it's our last chance to stop it

The Senate just passed a bill that will let the federal and state governments investigate and sue websites that they claim cause kids mental distress. It’s a terrible idea to let politicians and bureaucrats decide what people should read and view online, but the Senate passed KOSA on a 91-3 vote.
