Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Ct.) introduced bipartisan legislation called the “Kids Online Safety Act” (KOSA) that, contrary to its name, would do nothing to protect children from the horrors on the internet.

KOSA is simply a Trojan horse bill from both sides of the aisle in Congress that aims to use the excuse of “child safety” to “impose sweeping new obligations on an array of digital platforms,” to quote The Washington Post. Such obligations include requiring that tech platforms “exercise[e] reasonable care” to prevent children from “bullying, harassment, and other harms.”

The New York Times reported that this “duty of care” imposed on “social media platforms and video games” will protect minors from “depression, eating disorders, violence, sexual exploitation and predatory marketing.”

(Related: The United Kingdom just passed a similar “Online Safety Act” that goes after freedom of speech online.)

“Bullying” is subjective

Over the past 10 or so years, the concept of “bullying” has really taken the limelight as a worthy censorship cause. The calculated reason for this is that “bullying” is a subjective concept much like a “hate crime” that allows tyranny to slip in undetected.

The more they can recategorize certain forms of free speech as “hate speech” or “bullying,” the easier they can trample on the First Amendment, which is exactly what this is all about.

“Conservative” Blackburn and “liberal” Blumenthal are working together to build another Trojan horse weapon against free speech. By coupling the concept of “bullying” with “the children,” these two political stooges hope to pull the wool over the eyes of Americans as they chip away at our constitutional rights.

“It has been an open secret for several years now that regime censors have preferred euphemisms related to safety,” Revolver reports.

“There is the notorious scam of ‘brand safety,’ in which censorious shakedown artists threaten companies for advertising with organizations that have fallen politically afoul of the regime. Then, of course, there’s the fact that the censorship teams within Big Tech companies operate under the offices of so-called ‘Trust and Safety.'”

Since the censorship protocols already in place are apparently not enough to stifle online free speech, Blackburn and Blumenthal are delivering KOSA as the next attempt at a solution.

KOSA would complement the censorship boards that are already in place within the Big Tech structure by adding another layer of censorship boards directly controlled by the government.

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) head Rebecca Slaughter, a Joe Biden appointee, infamously stated that she wants the agency she oversees to make “anti-racism” a top priority in antitrust enforcement. Slaughter also stated on record that not enough was being done at the time to censor “misinformation” about the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) in Spanish-language media.

Blackburn, by the way, has a lengthy history of trying to “discipline” Big Tech for their many crimes against humanity. Every time she attempts this, online censorship somehow gets worse, particularly for conservatives.

The mainstream media would be unaffected by Blackburn and Blumenthal’s censorship bill, it is also important to note. The term “covered platform” as defined in the legislation online includes internet-based media sources, not media broadcast over the air or via cable or satellite.

This carve-out will allow for the legacy corporate media to continue pumping out all the propaganda it wants with few restrictions. This was made possible by the News Media Alliance, a lobbying group that represents the interests of the mainstream media.

The bill’s number-one target seems to be video games, believe it or not. Blackburn and Blumenthal feel as though the government should be in charge of video game content.
