It calls instead for comprehensive consumer privacy protections and limits on behavioral advertising. ### Source excerpt The Senate Commerce Committee will vote this week on several censorious and privacy invasive bills: KOSA, the SCREEN Act, Youth AI Privacy Act, and CHATBOT Act. While we appreciate that the Committee is taking the time to look at these bills separately, it's still impossible to ignore the message Congress is sending to the world: Age-gate the internet and block young people from speaking and accessing lawful speech online. Or else. Take action Tell Congress: don't age-gate the internet Each of these bills claims to be trying to protect children and teenagers from dangerous situations on and offline--certainly a worthy goal. But the proposed solutions in these bills are unlikely to make children and teenagers safer at all. Rather, they would create sweeping new privacy and data security problems, and force platforms to adopt unconstitutional restrictions on the content they host, for both adults and teenagers. There is a better way. Instead of considering these bills, the Senate Commerce Committee should be focusing on a national consumer privacy bill that would protect ALL internet users, or on banning behavioral advertising that tracks us across the web--again, for users of all ages. But the bills being considered this week move in the other direction--more information being collected, more surveillance, and less privacy for internet users of all ages. Take action help eff oppose these bills EFF sent a letter to the Committee with our concerns about these bills. We look forward to continuing to work with them to find a way forward that protects all users. ## MWC Barcelona 2026 Recap: Driving the Future of Open Networking DevFeed: [MWC Barcelona 2026 Recap: Driving the Future of Open Networking]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: g.yigit@vyos.io (Gizem Yigit) Published: 2026-03-11T10:09:44Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [VyOS - Blog]() Topics: [networking](), [vendor lock-in](), [Cloud](), [on-prem](), [Deployment](), [Virtual Private Network](), [Automation]() Tags: [2026](), [automation](), [barcelona](), [cloud](), [congress](), [customers](), [deployment](), [edge-networking](), [enterprises](), [event](), [hybrid](), [infrastructure](), [isp](), [licensing](), [mobileworldcongress](), [mwc](), [mwc2026](), [network-automation](), [networking](), [on-prem](), [open-source-networking](), [partners](), [performance](), [talk](), [telco](), [vendor-lock-in](), [vyos](), [vyosnetwork]() ### AI overview VyOS recaps its presence at MWC Barcelona 2026, highlighting demand for open, enterprise-ready networking across cloud, edge, and on-prem environments.
