KOSA opens the door for subjective censorship. TheFulcrum.US rightly notes:
"Even in states that aren’t adding to this moral panic, KOSA has provided the framework by which they can pass vague 'obscenity' laws that appear neutral, but in practice are aimed at LGBT+ persons. Structural forms of discrimination also exist online as social media platforms act as determiners of what is allowable under their guidelines. In reality, moderation disproportionality impacts LGBT+ persons, and especially trans women...we are quickly descending into an age of marginalization that many LGBT+ people haven’t experienced since before Stonewall."
