LGBT Tech Featured in LGBTQ Nation on Concerns Over Kids Online Safety Act

LGBTQ Nation recently featured LGBT Tech in an article discussing the reintroduction of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) in the U.S. Senate. While KOSA aims to protect minors from online harms, advocates, including LGBT Tech, express concerns that the bill could inadvertently lead to the censorship of LGBTQ+ content.

Critics argue that the bill's broad definitions of "harmful" content might prompt platforms to over-censor, potentially restricting access to essential resources for LGBTQ+ youth. LGBT Tech emphasizes the importance of ensuring that online safety measures do not compromise the availability of supportive and informative content for marginalized communities.

" However, many other groups have nonetheless opposed the bill, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Woodhull Freedom Foundation, the LGBT Technology Partnership, as well as LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations in six states."
