They have gotten their way and at least at the moment will be free to export with the exception of China.

But that is still up in the air.

So it comes with tradeoffs.

That being said, I am super stoked and super proud of the War Room Posse and everyone else.

across the aisle included who stood up and said that states have the right to determine their own future and foresee the the federalist approach to this being the one that wins out something on capitol hill today shows us that the uh... the

process of trying to create a federal framework is fraught for a number of reasons.

The House met today for a hearing.

The Commerce Committee met for a hearing to discuss the Kids Online Safety Act and a number of other, in fact, 19 bills intended to

ensure that children are not exposed to any kind of harmful online content, at least if it's within control of the tech companies.

It's still up in the air.

You'll remember that COSA was introduced in 2022, so it's been floundering for years.

It's still floundering.

And as we heard from some of the people who were testifying and the representatives who were speaking on it,

There is a huge argument about whether or not the liability should fall on the companies themselves.

So we heard a lot last night from Shelby Knox of Parents Together and others about the

The duty of care clause in COSA, which would have put the pressure on social media platforms, Google, any kind of search engine to ensure that if their platform is kind of like section 230, if their platform.

knowingly provided the access to children for predators, or in the case of artificial intelligence, knowingly had chatbots who could, for instance, persuade children into suicide, then the liability would have fallen on the companies.

In the new defanged legislation, it basically...

It dictates that the companies have to have reasonable policies and procedures in place to protect against violence, drugs being distributed to children and other sorts of financial fraud and sexual exploitation.

But it doesn't really put it doesn't.
