The Electronic Frontier Foundation raised concerns to California lawmakers about some proposed online safety laws for kids.
They warned that things like age verification, parental controls, and content restrictions could actually harm young people's rights, especially their free speech.
Instead, the EFF recommends a strong privacy law that gives people more control over their data as a smarter, more effective solution.

For a half century now, Republicans a) pretend to care about deficits when Dems are in power, as a pretext to cut spending, & b) massively grow deficits when they are in power, via tax cuts for the rich. The mainstream political press has not just allowed this deception, they've actively colluded.
