The Texas Senate Primary Was a Preview of Creator Wars to Come

Well, the markup is officially on the House E&C Committee schedule. Looks like they chose the following bills:
-Children and Teen's Online Privacy Protection Act (aka COPPA 2.0)
-App Store Accountability Act
-Sammy's Law
-KIDS Act (an amalgam of various bills [specific bills detailed below])
The KIDS Act is an amalgam of the following bills:
-SCREEN Act
-Kids Online Safety Act
-Safe Messaging for Kids Act
-SPY Kids Act
-Safer GAMING Act
-SAFE BOTs Act
-Safe Social Media Act
-No Fentanyl on Social Media Act
-Assessing Safety Tools for Parents and Minors Act
-Promoting a Safe Internet for Minors Act
-AI Warnings And Resources for Education Act (AWARE Act)
-Kids Internet Safety Partnership Act
Other notes about the KIDS Act:
-Bill number is "H.R.7757"
-The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is the court that would handle challenges
-Challenges to the KIDS Act as a whole must be made within 90 days of enactment (60 days for specific acts/findings/determinations/etc. made under the bill)
-The House seems to be going through with their version of KOSA (which will no doubt cause conflict with the Senate, who want their version)
-Explicitly forbids doing the following in the bill's name:
A: Censorship of 1st amendment protected speech
B: Weakening/Restricting of COPPA
C: Prevention of the moderation of spam, criminal activity, and security risks.
D: Weakening/Altering of Section 230
E: Breaking/Circumvention of encryption
F: Precluding the use of any form of encryption (including end-to-end encryption)
G: Requiring indefinite retention of user data
H: Requiring the affirmative collection of any
personal information with respect to age that is not
collected already in the normal course of business.
Please call your Senators and Representatives ASAP!

The European Commission has registered a new Citizen Initiative, calling for a European social media platform.
In detail: The initiative invites the Commission to establish, through a legislative act, “a public social media platform at the European level”. That "would form an alternative to the current platforms and work as a service for the society, be funded by the society and be under its oversight”.
