Microsoft endorses anti-LGBTQ online “child safety” bill KOSA night before Big Tech hearing (US Politics)
Worth noting: Microsoft owns LinkedIn, which wouldn’t be particularly affected by KOSA.
There’s a hearing on Wednesday, and potentially a Senate vote soon, so if you’re in the US now’s a good time to contact your Senators. https://stopkosa.com and EFF’s page make it easy!
Hmm, I was under the impression that Attorneys General could already sue whomever they want, success rates aside. Is that not the case?
Technically yes but judges get annoyed if there’s absolutely no case, so they rarely do – and if they threaten when there’s no case, larger companies will look at it and say the threat’s not real.
