KOSA endangers queer and trans youth and also this support for KOSA should be in every one of the forthcoming “Is Harris a pro-LGBTQ rights candidate?” rundowns

Tweet from VP Harris, 4:14pm ET 7/30/24

I applaud the Senate for passing the Kids Online Safety and Privacy Act today. This bipartisan legislation will help protect children's mental health, safety, and privacy online.

I have spent my entire career fighting for the wellbeing of children, and I urge Congress to pass this bill as we continue to invest in our children and their health.

You would think it would go without saying that having the government control the internet is a no go in America. The fact Democrats are not all vehemently opposed is very concerning.

Why isn’t she against a bill that passed the Senate 91-3?

I haven't read the KOSA. How exactly will hit harm LGBTQ kids?

I feel like her wording here is def playing to the voters that "want to keep the children safe" but also don't wanna vote for trump, might be a way to gain more votes before it's too late. I hope it's just that and not a full step twords anti-queer shit.

As that Slate article with Shannon Minter shows, there are plenty of trans liberals who think she’s wonderful and overlook or don’t care about Harris being anti-sex work. We’re gonna see a lot more of that kind of coverage!

I wanna try not to get overly political here but the push for “protecting children” is an awfully insensitive front for the same surveillance pushed during America’s biggest faux-counterterrorism efforts :(
