KOSA AND 18 OTHER CHILD SAFETY BILLS ARE ABOUT TO PASS THE HOUSE FLOOR. DON'T IGNORE THIS
in just a couple of days (or, sometime next week) americans might lose their freedom online, and even if not immediately because of the legal process, will be required by law to upload their id or face scan in order to use social media. this is a very basic description of what's going on, but digital identification isn't the only downside to this. censorship is eminent and these bills can extend past social media and be applied to anything the government would deem inappropriate for children.
you might think these bills are for protecting the kids, but they simply aren't. children will find a way to get online anyway, and may even turn to dangerous alternatives. most parents are dumb enough to just hand their children their id to use for whatever anyway, so these bills may not even work as intended. responsibility should be in parents' hands, not the state.
"well, what can i do?"
well, my friend, a lot! don't stay quiet, and stop whining about it without making an effort!!
- look up and email / write to / call your representatives. maybe even ones from other states too to cover more ground. blow up their phones and don't stop. tell them how unconstitutional these bills are, and reinform them that they are being passed in a sneaky way.
- spread the word. many people are unaware of this, and the popular majority who are is in favor of these bills.
- go to these websites:
- don't give up, and don't shut up about it!
All of the bad internet bills. One website.
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.
