Today Senator Blackburn is expected to try ramming KOSA--the Kids Online Safety Act--through the Senate via unanimous consent.
KOSA was an Internet censorship bill in its inception, and in 4 years the only thing its authors have done is try to disguise KOSA's nature, not fix it.

The Safer GAMING Act would ban young gamers from even the most harmless communication—not to mention fun and strategic—in online video games, including nicknames in @Pokemon and taunts in @SmashBrosUS. This is lame. It also violates the First Amendment. My analysis in @reason:
The Safer GAMING Act draws no line between a slur and a Pokémon nickname. That's a First Amendment problem. reason.com/2026/08/29/lawmak…

Today Senate Commerce marks up several Bad Internet Bills, including KOSA - which for years experts have warned violates the First Amendment. Instead of fixing the problems, KOSA's sponsors have denied they exist & tried to disguise them with obfuscatory language.

From the Red Scare to Brandenburg, history shows that fear makes bad First Amendment law.
As AI reshapes how we think and speak, @corbinkbarthold makes the case for holding the line on free expression.

I have a new piece up with the fine folks at @SpeechFuture on my favorite topic lately -- why AI outputs are protected by the First Amendment.
The First Amendment has weathered anarchists, communists, and more; it can weather the chatbots, too.
