> KOSA would require digital platforms to take “reasonable measures” to prevent harms to children<p>No, of course we don't require you to spy on your users, break encryption, and censor who and what the <i>independent</i> disinformation, hate, and cyberbullying monitoring agencies tell you to - this is a free country! But it sure would be a shame if your failure to take those <i>industry standard</i> measures caused you to fall short of "reasonable measures" to protect your users.
Online safety is a solved problem that politicians don't want to actually implement. Child lock all consumer media devices by default. Require ID to unlock. Simple and quick, sure the smart ones could find workarounds, it will be a vast minority compared to every single child being perpetually on the internet.<p>There isn't a choice, either we do something big to protect the adults on the net, or the net will be legislated and captured into a money train targeted towards kids. It already is, the law just hasn't set it in stone yet.
