Additionally these youth activists are leading efforts in washington, advocating for bills, like the children and teens online privacy act and pushing for changes in the KOSA bill. their goal really is to enhance online safety but while preserving the positive aspect of the digiatal world. kids are making their voices heard and advocating effectivly.

third update

a state representative warrants that KOSA threatens lgbtq+ and transgender youth, if KOSA becomes law, she says it will limit access to vital resources, create a hostile online environment and censor essential content for lgbtq+ members, increasing to their vulnerability and cyber bullying and discrimination. KOSA's concerning aspect is it grants state attorneys general, some anti lgbtq views power to regulate online content harmful to children and to protect the lgbtq+ community KOSA must include explicit safeguards or be opposed entirely she says.
