I'm not an expert on KOSA but I've been closely following Australia's "social media ban".
Who did *not* endorse the ban includes:
- the eSafety Commissioner
- the Privacy Commissioner
- Australian Human Rights Commission
- 140 academic, mental health & legal experts
- LGBTQ+ youth & advocates

Who benefits from blocking the Kids Online Safety Act? Only companies whose business model relies on hooking kids. That means especially Meta, Snap, and Tiktok. The House should bring KOSA to a vote, now.

You can oppose Australia's social media ban or KOSA and still want the data-extractive platforms to do more to make the Internet better for everyone.
