The consumer choice center is a Washington/ Brussels think tank and lobbying group. They are passionate about free markets and consumer choice and oppose taxes and regulations on things like petroleum products, tobacco, and sugary/fatty foods.
I don’t have an opinion on the “Kids” act, just consider the source.
I love the part of this article where it explains why this may be the case instead of just quoting random people.
I love how it explains what is in the bill
The bill is garbage, but it cracks me up that they think this part is a bad thing:
The bill seeks to … limit developers’ inclusion of personalized recommendation systems, notifications, appearance-altering filters, and in-game purchases for apps used by minors.

It’s for all users, not just minors, but if not we’d need to have a super complex document-based AI authentication system
Who could have seen this coming?
Simpsons did it best….
…. Won’t someone pleeeease think of the children!
Tale as old as time (yes I know your answer was /sarcastic)
