Don’t Fall for the Latest Changes to the Dangerous Kids Online Safety Act

The Electronic Frontier Foundation argues that the amended 2024 Kids Online Safety Act remains an unconstitutional censorship bill and urges readers to oppose it. The article says the revised "duty of care" still exposes platforms to liability for hosting lawful content, now replacing "design and operation" with "reasonable care in the creation and implementation of any design feature." It also says the latest version removes state attorneys general's power to enforce the duty of care but leaves them other enforcement routes, and that the bill still effectively requires age verification.
