Call or Write Congress About H.R. 8250: Parents Decide Act - GovTrack.us

Quick and easy link to both find your congressmen/women and giving you a quick and easy way to copy / paste the message into it. You want to oppose. It's an act that will demand that all major OS makers integrate a direct forced age verification control into all OS.

[rudavoidish]

I received a comment on this that I figured would be very helpful- it's a template for communicating with your representatives. Be sure to use it for reference

Dear Representative [Name],

I am writing to express my strong opposition to H.R. 8250 (The "Parents Decide Act"). As your constituent and a concerned citizen, I believe this bill introduces unprecedented risks to digital privacy and security.

Specifically, I am alarmed by:

SEC. 2(a)(1)(B): Requiring age verification to even use an operating system creates a mandatory "hardware lockout" that ends anonymous computing and forces users to hand over sensitive identification data to major corporations just to power on their devices.

SEC. 2(a)(3): Mandating that OS providers create a system for all app developers to access verification data is a massive security vulnerability. This effectively creates a centralized API of user identities accessible to thousands of third-party developers, many of whom may lack adequate data protection.

This bill does not protect children; it creates a centralized surveillance infrastructure at the OS level. I urge you to protect the privacy of your constituents and vote NO on H.R. 8250.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

This is a hell that us down under in Australia are already living in, and it’s not even effective at what it claims to do in protecting children.

Given that, in the wake of this mandatory identification policy, my country seems to be moving to hand over its citizens biometric data, like fingerprints, Face ID files, and identification documents, over to the USA and to ICE to maintain the visa free travel (ESTA) we have, I strongly urge any US resident to send these emails, or make calls.

But if you can’t do that, the most powerful thing you can do is spread the word. Tell your friends, family, coworkers, anyone who can help.

My reach will likely be small, and so I don’t know if this will mean very much in the grand scheme of things, but I cannot stand to see this tracking happen to another population as it did to mine.

And if you think it won’t affect you, it will. All anonymity goes out the window when your accounts can be linked via your personal ID

I wish you all luck in preventing this act from going through.

There is something sooo deeply American going on with Seattle Children’s Hospital that I think would brick the minds of everyone outside of the United States.

[skygenders]

The CHILDRENS hospital has to restrict helipad landings because of noise complaints from the wealthy home owners living next to it. Only the most urgent patients can land directly at the hospital. While the other kids have to land a mile away and are taken to the hospital via ambulance. Which is an unnecessary risk to the child’s life and also makes the families pay for the helicopter AND ambulance.

[skygenders]

Seattle Children’s says Laurelhurst noise concerns burdens lifesaving care for children

The hospital says some limits on helipad access add pressure when children need lifesaving care.

Apparently this has been going on for decades and is only getting traction because a pilot complained on Twitter.

[shadow-daughter]

SEATAC residents, time to get our phones out. If they're so worried about noise, let's make some REAL noise.

[shadow-daughter]

https://www.seattle.gov/council/members/maritza-rivera This is the councilwoman responsible for this outrage. Put the pressure on and keep it on.

[naamahdarling]

I can't find anything saying she is responsible for giving in to the noise complaints.

She does represent the neighborhood full of assholes, however:

The Zoom link is here.

If you are in the Seattle area, or just want to pressure them from afar, drop in

[kedreeva]

It seems like the zoom link might have not been added, so I dug it up.

PSA for anyone in Florida who likes animals and can reasonably access nearby beaches: Florida Audubon and the Florida Shorebird Alliance are looking for volunteers to sign up for timeslots as shorebird stewards! As a shorebird steward, you can take shifts monitoring the nesting areas of shorebirds like terns and plovers to make sure that random beachgoers don't disturb the nests (these areas are generally roped off) or accidentally harm the chicks.

So you would get to hang out on a beach for a couple hours and see some of these guys and also help keep them safe! (And also get something volunteering and wildlife-related to put on a resume if you need/want that)

(Least Terns, photo by Dann DeBlois)

Shifts are whatever you can sign up for, so you don't need to have the same time available every week (or even take a slot every week) and Audubon provides training, so there's no prior experience needed!

You can sign up here for more info if you're interested!

Pls reblog if you can, since they're really in need of volunteers atm

This is a staunchly pro-bug zone. I may have contentious relationships with the ones that enjoy eating me or my food but that's life baby. The great web...

[boybeetles]

Did you know that there is a Wikipedia page for ‘clop’ (my little pony porn) and there is uncensored porn of the pony version of Wikipe-tan as one of the images. And there is a really long debate on the talk page of the article about if it should stay or go.

"I will not comply"

On March 30th, police escorted director Luanne James out of the Rutherford Public Library. Her crime? Refusing to move over a hundred childrens books into the adults section.

Luanne's 25 years of service has been repayed with the loss of her job and a public humiliation from her superiors. All because she wouldn't agree with a decision from that would frame LGBT+ children's characters as something lewd. Please. Help her reach her goal.

Queer kids are kids and to treat the stories that feature them as something inherently inappropriate is vile.
