I saw this on Ground.News this morning. None of the articles even listed the name of the bill, and all of them had zero criticism to offer. Not great.

Good luck trying to take power away from the ones in government who are owned by companies..
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.
There's a handy "Take Action" button at the bottom of the article where you can look up your representative and send them an editable pre-written email.
Seems broken
