I tagged you and @evangreer.bsky.social on this message (I'm including it here btw): There's plans afoot to insert provisions of KOSA and the SCREEN Act into the NDAA as part of the AI Preemption issue.
It's awful, but least the upside of this is that it can be attacked as one issue...

![Nathan Leamer, a former GOP staffer at the Federal Communications Commission and executive director of Build American AI, a new pro-industry group, told POLITICO last week that Republican lawmakers are negotiating several potential online protections for kids as part of the AI preemption package they hope to shoehorn into a year-end defense bill.
“Is it KOSA or [the] SCREEN Act, or age verification, app-store verification? I think all of those are on the table,” said Leamer. “But I don’t know what the final package is going to be.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xkyhsucgalfnrkpwwkxs5zbl/bafkreid57fiaf4qua4ytfbg6xn3pw5pkw2trg2gv7r7xxrql3onamqeufe@jpeg)
