"Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat, have established an alliance in their mutual objective to liberate the Australian founder of WikiLeaks, journalist Julian Assange.

Together with 14 other US Congress members, this unlikely duo has penned a candid letter to President Joe Biden, appealing for an immediate halt to the US’s extradition and prosecution plans against Assange. The collective voice warns of potential harm to US-Australia bilateral relations if Assange’s prosecution continues."

That would be a good move.

You know, this stuff still applies.

https://www.axios.com/2024/02/09/meta-political-content-moderation-threads From the looks of it, you can still opt into political recommendations, it's just not the default.

They're probably trying to avoid people getting mad at them.

"“New bill text, same problems,” Adam Kovacevich, the head of tech trade group Chamber of Progress, said in a statement. “This bill still gives right-wing AGs extraordinary power to police online speech. And the bill still forces platforms to over-moderate and censor marginalized communities by creating sweeping liability. As federal courts have repeatedly held, the features of a platform are inextricably linked with its speech, and KOSA’s censorship of that speech runs headlong into the constitution.”"

Already seeing criticism of the "new" KOSA draft.

"However, by not clarifying that the Duty of Care only applies in a content neutral manner, as we have asked, it still invites the harms that we’ve warned about.

As we have said for months, the fundamental problem with KOSA is that its duty of care covers content specific aspects of content recommendation systems, and the new changes fail to address that. In fact, personalized recommendation systems are explicitly listed under the definition of a design feature covered by the duty of care. This means that a future Federal Trade Commission (FTC) could still use KOSA to pressure platforms into automated filtering of important but controversial topics like LGBTQ issues and abortion, by claiming that algorithmically recommending that content “causes” mental health outcomes that are covered by the duty of care like anxiety and depression."

"It’s important to remember that algorithmic recommendation includes, for example, showing a user a post from a friend that they follow, since most platforms do not show all users all posts, but curate them in some way."
