The House just passed the KIDS Act (267-117): a Trojan horse sneaking federal online ID checks into "kids safety" bills.
Platforms must "know or should have known" if you're a minor or face liability. That forces age verification, ID checks, and tracking for everyone.
Meanwhile, the Senate version of KOSA keeps the dangerous "duty of care" provision that would force platforms to censor broad categories of protected speech to avoid liability.
There's a huge rift: Senate authors called the House bill dead on arrival. Neither chamber protects freedom...one pushes ID checks, the other pushes algorithmic control.
Gridlock between two evils is currently the only thing stopping a full assault on online anonymity and speech.
