Kit Knightly – Off-Guardian June 30, 2026
Yesterday, the US House of Representatives quietly passed a bundle of “digital protections” collectively labelled the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act (KIDS Act).
You might not have heard, because the US news was focused on other things, like the Supreme Court refusing to review the civil verdict that Donald Trump sexually assaulted E Jean Carroll, or that they would continue to count mail-in ballots that arrive after election day.
As is usually the case, the truly important news found itself buried behind things that never happened and things that don’t matter.
So what’s in the USA’s online safety act?
The same things that are in everyone else’s, obviously.
Digital ID this, age verification that.
The act is effectively a package of clauses and sections from other acts, including:
- Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA),
- Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0)
- Shielding Children’s Retinas from Egregious Exposure on the Net (SCREEN) Act
- Safeguarding Adolescents from Exploitative (SAFE) Bots Act
- Safer Guarding of Adolescents from Malicious Interactions on Network Games (GAMING) Act.
[Side note – I HATE US legislation naming conventions and the need to force cringey acronyms.]
If you want to go into the details, there’s a good write-up here.
The unfortunate truth is the details don’t really matter. As we’ve seen already with Spain, the UK, Australia, Canada et al. the actual measures and rules may have cosmetic differences, but in the end they share one important similarity: The only way to enforce them is age verification.
This is true of social media bans, or screen time limits, or algorithm exemptions or disabling infinite scrolling or nudity filters or…any of them.
Whatever is or isn’t in the KIDS Act, it will need you to verify your age by biometrics or digital ID to work.
Just like everywhere else.
It passed the House with bipartisan support. It will probably pass the Senate too; if it doesn’t, it will be branded as a “victory for small government”…and the individual states will just pass their own legislation. As many already have.
And just like that, Trump’s MAGA US will be just like the “liberal” countries he despises and who claim to despise him.
Weird.

Political speeches rarely become talking points because of theatrical performances. Yet that is exactly what happened after Donald Trump took the stage at a Mack Trucks facility in Pennsylvania, where a campaign-style appearance quickly shifted attention away from policy and toward the president’s behavior.

Coronation Street star Michael Byrne has sadly died at the age of 82. He was best known for playing Gail Platt’s long-lost father Ted Page, who came into his daughter’s life after 50 years after coming out as gay and discovering Audrey had given birth to his daughter. He gave Gail away at her wedding to Joe McIntyre, but was written out of the soap for good in 2021.
Byrne also made his name in the Harry Potter franchise, starring as Gellert Grindelwald in Deathly Hallows Part 1 in 2010. Other acting credits include Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, 1995’s Braveheart, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Gangs of New York.

But Corrie fans will remember him best for starring in 67 episodes of the ITV soap as Gail’s long-lost dad, before she was rocked by the news of his death in 2021.
Michael is survived by his wife Carole – despite their separation, she continued to care for him at the end of his life. He also leaves behind two daughters, Tara and Bryony, and three grandchildren – Tom, Chloe and Jasmine.

He died on June 20th, though the news was only announced today (June 30).
Tributes have flooded in from fans, with one tweeting: “Enjoyed Ted immensely. He had a great sense of humour and his scenes with the older cast were always brilliant. Very sad that the character was sidelined and later killed off.”
His final on-screen role came in 2023’s The Phoebus Files, in which he starred as Mr Lucas. However, he will also star posthumously in upcoming release Bjorn of the Dead, as Derek.

The money men may rebel if they lose ad revenues and sales. Governments won’t repeal these laws but their use may end up limited.
whoever thought it a good idea to give a 13 month old baby to homosexuals should be shot
this has happened before
the social workers aided and abbetted the crime
something very similar happened in kings lynn where i live
some years ago
it was hidden up but they closed hamilton house as social workers were more like criminals, and having sex with the kids
Only problem is you live in a Jewocracy, masquerading as a ‘democracy’ for the Videodrome Smershphone slaves. Both parties (R/D) work for the same master: the Moses Mafia. It doesn’t matter which party you vote for, since the Moses Mafia wins either way. If the right white-wing had any intelligence they would have figured this out decades ago, abandoning the Republican party & formed their own new Party not controlled by the Moses Mafia, mackerel snappers and/or evangelical ‘end days’ Bible nuts.

They should call it the ‘Wog Cup’ instead of the ‘World Cup’. Look how DEI ruined the German national team since the team became majority brown/black after 2014.

Why not arrest all the pedos on Epstein’s list and hang the basterds. Then go after the others not on his list. I recall we had a neighbor in Jakarta – an expat teacher – and he had young boys at his home, almost every day and claimed he was simply teaching them – he didn’t say what exactly, but his room boy impregnated our maid so we went over and started to complain while he had 3 young fellows there sitting on the floor. I got up and stated WTF are we doing here(?) and grabbed my wife and went back home. He was arrested around 6 months later, then thrown in jail – and the prisoners killed him – couldn’t happen to a nicer guy and I called him ‘Chester the Molester’.

In government and in all important positions of power and influence, there are not only Jews but also many, many high ranking satanists and freemasons which you never mention.
