Worth noting: Microsoft owns LinkedIn, which wouldn’t be particularly affected by KOSA.
There’s a hearing on Wednesday, and potentially a Senate vote soon, so if you’re in the US now’s a good time to contact your Senators. https://stopkosa.com and EFF’s page make it easy!
We don’t have rules about editorializing article titles in this magazine?
I agree with you, and normally like posts to just use the original headline, but in this case, it feels like the newspaper is pro-KOSA. They mention in the article hundreds of organizations support the legislation but don’t mention the hundreds that have opposed it.
Perhaps something like “Microsoft president endorses online child safety bill night before Big Tech hearing [Bill is opposed by EFF over censorship concerns]” would be a better way to handle adding context.
When journalists become activists, objective reality suffers.
