A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

What company would support this, though? It seems like all the big tech giants, from meta to musk, would all be against the govt having carte blanche to investigate them.

There will likely be companies dedicated solely to offering "plug and play" services to become and stay KOSA-compliant, it will be their main source of revenue. Big tech giants, will do the bare minimum to stay compliant, then censor whatever anyone asks them, so long as they can keep peddling ads and siphoning user online behavior patterns. If it makes smaller competing sites incur in higher expenses and ideally kill them off, so much the better.
