House looks to make KOSA, COPPA 2.0 , and APRA bills worse.

The House Energy & Commerce Committee is holding a markup today for a bunch of bills.

The new versions of the bills do not fix the underlying problems of these bills, and in some ways appear to make them worse.

The bill includes the ability of parents of children and teenagers to obtain basically any information a website has on their children.

Parents can demand that internet platforms hand over all the info they provided to the platform.

This means that companies will take the lazy way out and just block all sorts of content to be safe.

Kids have privacy rights too, but not under this bill.
