I don't think the motivations behind KOSA are necessary bad. (At least compared to other 702) I think that people have seen minors be encouraged to do really dumb stuff like eating Tide pods.

That definitely won't be be stopped by KOSA or any similar law as they are missing the problem with some of these platforms. Instead the youngsters will find darker content from other sources and the valid users will be forced to identity themselves and a new level or extreme censorship will be enforced.

If that happens you won't find me giving my id.
