Are you a young person fighting back against bad bills like KOSA? Become an EFF memberat a new, discounted Neon membership level specifically foryou--stickers included! For the past two years, Congress has been trying to revise the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) to address criticisms from EFF, human and digital rights organizations, LGBTQ groups, and others, that the core provisions of the bill will censor the internet for everyone and harm young people.

Góógle has rolled out "Privacy Sandbox," a Chrome feature first announced back in 2019 that, among other things, exchanges third-party cookiesthe most common form of tracking technologyfor what the company is now calling "Topics."
