Worth noting: Microsoft owns LinkedIn, which wouldn’t be particularly affected by KOSA.
There’s a hearing on Wednesday, and potentially a Senate vote soon, so if you’re in the US now’s a good time to contact your Senators. https://stopkosa.com and EFF’s page make it easy!
Yeah, I saw the part that wasn’t crossed-out, but couldn’t find where it says Attorneys General can determine such things; I only saw where it says they can sue websites using this bill
In practice, when the AG threatens to sue and the law makes it clear that they’ll win (which KOSA currently does), companies will typically stop what they’re doing (or settle if the AG actually launches a suit)
Wouldn’t the law only make clear they’ll win if it fits the law’s definition of harm?
