The United States Senate is about to change the internet forever. As of February 4, 2026, the Kids Off Social Media Act (S. 278/ KOSMA) has officially advanced from the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and is headed to the Senate floor for a final vote. If passed, this legislation will effectively ban social media for children under the age of 13 and trigger a massive overhaul of how we verify our identities online.
I don’t mind certain safeguards for children. I personally don’t know how exactly to implement that but I know having to upload your ID is an easy way for Fascists to silence their enemies.

nah. not sure why you think this is a different data point than is available today?
