Blake raises the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act (KOSA), a bipartisan bill that has passed the House and would impose restrictions on apps accessed by minors — including, in the Senate version, an open-ended 'duty of care' standard for social media platforms. [1] — Blake "The KOSA bill passed the House with bipartisan support, but a Senate version adds an open-ended 'duty of care' for social media companies t…" 50:10 The panel's immediate reaction is that the benign name is a warning sign, a pattern they've seen before. Blake's core concern is that a 'duty of care' provision would give the government unlimited grounds to target any platform — including X — for allegedly failing to protect children from 'harmful' content like conservative speech. Jack then reveals the corporate dynamic: Meta enthusiastically supports the bill because it shifts liability from social media companies to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, meaning Facebook and Instagram could continue as before while Apple and Google become the enforcement chokepoint. Andrew's alternative proposal is a simple ISP-level opt-in parental filter for pornographic sites, which he argues would be both more effective and less invasive than a broad federal regulatory regime. The panel broadly agrees that the stated goal — protecting children online — is legitimate, but that the mechanism being proposed is a Trojan horse for censorship.
The KOSA bill passed the House with bipartisan support, but a Senate version adds an open-ended 'duty of care' for social media companies that could be used to destroy platforms like X under the guise of protecting children. Meta loves it because it shifts liability to the App Store — not to them.

A hard paywall is a screen that blocks all app features unless the user pays or starts a free trial — it cannot be dismissed.
