Lawmakers vs. Kids: The Battle for Digital Rights in 2025 – A Comedic Tragedy
Lawmakers want to block kids from the internet, but EFF argues they have the right to meme too! With proposed laws threatening minors’ First Amendment rights, EFF is stepping up to remind everyone that young people deserve freedom of expression—and a break from those outdated age-verification systems.
Hot Take:
Who knew that the real threat to kids on the internet was lurking in the form of overzealous lawmakers? Forget the boogeyman; it’s Big Brother who’s got his eyes on your TikTok feed. In their quest to sanitize the web, legislators might just be throwing the baby out with the bathwater—and then blaming the internet for the mess.
Key Points:
- Lawmakers are introducing proposals to limit minors’ access to internet content they deem harmful.
- EFF argues that such laws violate minors’ First Amendment rights.
- Restricting internet access could harm minors, especially those in marginalized communities.
- Age-verification technologies pose privacy risks and could infringe on anonymity.
- EFF actively opposes these legislative efforts to protect digital rights for all.
