**Segment 1: The Age-Gated Internet**
**Echelon:** “Our first story examines the growing trend of age-gated internet access. Legislation like the Kids Online Safety Act is driving the implementation of age verification requirements for accessing content deemed ‘harmful,’ primarily adult material. This raises significant privacy and censorship concerns, with ongoing debate surrounding the potential for abuse and broader control over online content. The discussion centers on the balance between protecting minors and safeguarding freedom of expression.”
