kosa update:

August 5th will be the day where the markup will take place. If you haven't already, please call your senators to oppose KOSA. Reminder that this is NOT a final VOTE. This is a markup.

Even if the Senate has a bit of a quarrel with the House's version of KOSA, doesn't mean we should have our guard be let down. It is DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO PASSING AFTER ALL! Again, do whatever you can, and let's try to stop this bill from passing.

For the numbers, please either click, or tap on the images to view them in full detail. If anyone wants me to put it in the Image ID, then let me know. Transcribing will take me time, and this update needs to come out fast, so I can't do it for the time being. I apologize heavily for this.

That'll be all for now.

It’s scary on the internet right now. All the censorship bills that congress and other countries are trying to/have passed. But I have an idea to combat them.

Minors Against Online “Safety”. I feel like messages against censorship “for the children” will be more effective coming from the children it’s claiming to protect.

Here’s the plan: Find your state’s senators and house representatives. Call them, email them, tell them every little way these bills are detrimental, to BOTH children and adults. Most importantly, do it CONSTANTLY. At least once every few days, IF NOT MORE. AND, tell your friends and classmates to do it too. Regardless of political orientation, I can’t imagine any teen taking kindly to the idea of their internet access being limited or completely revoked.

The bills we’re targeting are: KOSA (requires age verification to access many websites), KOSMA (bans people under 13 from using social media) , the SCREEN act (blocks content seen as harmful to minors for ALL audiences), Block BEARD (supposedly protects against foreign piracy), and the Take It Down act(blocks content seen as sexually obscene to ALL audiences), which has already passed but is ridiculously unconstitutional, so maybe we can get the Supreme Court on that.

Some good points that you may want to bring up (if you can think of any others, put them in comments, please!)

- The SCREEN act could limit a teen’s access to Sex Ed, especially for the lgbtq+ community, who don’t always get taught how to stay safe in schools.

- While this might cut down on kids access to negative content, it could also very easily cut down on access to positive content as well. (e.g. , a child becomes suicidal. While they might no longer have access to material encouraging them to commit, they will likely also lose access to material discouraging them as well)

- A lot of the big companies that would have to enforce these policies are subject to data breaches. What would happen if a predator got access to a list of users containing their ages?

- Block BEARD could lead to many non-profit sites being banned in the U.S. (such as AO3, a fanfiction website that has content tagging and filtering systems put in place, that would likely make it difficult for a child to encounter obscene content, if supervised properly by their guardians.)

- The president has specifically stated that he intends to to use the Take It Down Act to censor those who disagree with him. Not only is this a pretty direct violation of the First Amendment, the government has also put policies like this in place before, to undesirable effects (Alien and Sedition Act).

- Neurodivergent kids. Socializing in person can be quite hard for many ND children, but sites like Discord can be an outlet to help them find connection. KOSMA will ban kids under 13 from social media, which is not only somewhat useless in itself, seeing that most big social media sites either require this already or are specifically for children, but also doesn’t account for the possibility of a child using their parent’s account.

- China. China is infamous in the western world for the unbelievable amount of censorship it puts on its citizens online activity, but not even China requires this kind of age verification.

- A child’s parents should be the one in charge of what they deem too inappropriate for their child, not the government. What if abrahamic religion was considered obscene? How would Christian and Jewish and Muslim parents educate their children on their beliefs?

The most important part of making this effective is to NEVER LET UP. Harass your representatives constantly if you have to. Do it until not only do they vote against these bills, but they become vocal opponents of them, and tell everyone you know to do the same. Share this on every social media you have. Do the same with YouTube’s age verification, or Visa and Mastercard’s sudden control over game stores. And if you live in Canada or Australia or the UK? Do the same. We can stop this kind of oppression, but only if we fight tooth and nail against it. Please reblog to signal boost.

//TIME IS TICKING.

WE ONLY HAVE A FEW DAYS UNTIL KOSA IS DETERMINED. THERE IS A HUGE AUDIENCE OF PEOPLE TRYING TO PASS THIS BILL, BUT THE INTERNET IS BIGGER!

WE NEED ALL THE SUPPORT WE CAN GET.

CALL REPRESENTATIVES, TELL FAMILY, FRIENDS, MOOTS, LITERALLY EVERYONE YOU CAN.

IF THE BILL PASSES, THE INTERNET WILL BE CHANGED AS WE KNOW IT. IT WILL NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE OUT OF THE US. MANY FANDOM SPACES ARE IN AMERICAN DOMAIN.

YOU WILL NOT BE SAFE FROM USING A DIFFERENT EMAIL, ACCOUNT, ANYTHING. STOP BELIEVING THAT. THIS BILL WANTS CONTROL AS FAR BACK AS TRACING US BACK TO NAMES, AGES, GOVERNMENT IDS AND LICENSE PLATES.

YOU WILL NOT BE SAFE BECAUSE, “OH THIS BILL CAN’T PASS IT VIOLATES THE 1ST AMENDMENT!”. THEY HAVE PASSED UNCONSTITUTIONAL BILLS. YOU WILL NOT BE SAFE BECAUSE “OH, THIS BILL HASN’T PASSED FOR 2 YEARS!” THEY ARE AGGRAVATED. THEY ARE PUSHING FOR THIS BILL.

DO NOT FORGET KOSA MERELY BECAUSE A LACK OF UPDATES. I NEED YOU TO SIGN PETITIONS, CALL REPRESENTATIVES. DONT FORGET. I WANT YOU TO MAKE AS MUCH NOISE ABOUT KOSA POSSIBLE. DO NOT. FORGET. WE HAD THE TIME TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT KOSA, AND YET WE FORGOT BECAUSE OF A LACK OF UPDATES. THAT BRIEF TIME WAS NOT A COOLDOWN PERIOD. IT WAS A TIME TO KEEP KOSA TRENDING.

STOP GOING ON TIKTOK, COMMENTING “B00ST” AND THEN CALLING IT A DAY. YES THAT HELPS, BUT YOU NEED TO DO WHAT 90% OF THESE VIDEOS WANT YOU TO DO. SIGN PETITIONS. CALL REPRESENTATIVES. THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS POST ABOUT KOSA YOURSELF.

Alright everyone I’m here again to ask for your help for shutting KOSA and every other internet bill down. As of today we have only five days to blow up their phones and fax machines about how much we hate, no, despise these bills.

Every call matters, every single one. No matter how brief, no matter how messy, it will always matter. Because they don’t look at the quality, they look at the quantity. And if enough pressure is applied even their cowardice will eventually win over their greed.

And even if you don’t have the voice to call you can always help me the server spread the word. There’s always something to be done, so let’s get to work.

FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE - What's next on KOSA

You might have seen that a bill package including the notorious Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) passed out of the House in a rushed vote last week.1 This bill and many of its counterparts would lock large swaths of the Internet behind invasive online ID checks and threaten our ability to speak out online.2 This is far from the end of the road. And calls and messages from people like you have made a huge impact. We’ve been fighting these bills for years, and I can tell you with certainty that the tide is turning. Legislators are shifting, fearmongering “kids safety” arguments are losing their grip, and we’re building a strong, diverse movement of people refusing censorship. KOSA is not yet law, and with the House and Senate disagreeing on fundamental provisions, we have a critical opportunity to build momentum against this legislation and other nonsensical Bad Internet Bills that threaten to kill the Internet as we know it. Now’s the time to dig in. Call and tell your lawmakers how you feel about the KIDS Act passing. Then, check out our brand new Bad Internet Bills tracker, where you can take targeted action against all the most dangerous bills threatening encryption, free expression, and community online.

KEEP UP THE FIGHT

If you’re not sure how your rep voted last week, you can check here.3 Together, Matt at Fight for the Future

P.S. If you believe in our anti-censorship work and can spare the cost of a coffee per month toward the fight, we’d so appreciate it.

REPUBLICAN VERSION: (pretend you're GOP)

I am urging you VOTE NO on KOSA, the Kid's Online Safety Act. This is a dangerous bill that will harm children and censor conservative content online. This bill would be weaponized by unelected bureaucrats to censor Americans, why else do you think Democrats are pushing it so hard?

In Britain, their version of KOSA censored conservative speech online. We do NOT need KOSA here. Many news organizations have reported that this bill actively harms kids by exposing their private data to strangers under the guise of protecting them. We need to hold Big Tech accountable, but KOSA is not the solution. How is Big Tech against this if Apple, Microsoft, Snapchat, and Twitter all support it?

Any state attorney general can sue any website for "harmful" content. Do we really want blue state lawyers deciding what can and can't be allowed online? That's why they support KOSA. This is massive government overreach. We need a bill that actually protects children by creating better security measures instead of more censorship.

Multiple experts agree this bill pushes age verification. KOSA hands more private data of children to third party companies, which would put all of us in danger. How is this protecting children's privacy? What parent would want their child's private data in the hands of strangers like this? Do NOT support this bill. Thank you.

Okay, good news and bad news on the Screen Act and Kosa.

Good news: the screen act failed.

🎊Yeah!🎊

Bad news: Kosa slipped through. :(

It hasn't become law yet. They still have somethings to do, but if it becomes law, like I've said many times now, a lot of things will get censored/hidden from us. They spy on us even more than they already do. A lot of apps and websites may be gone, and you'll have to give your ID to do anything which if you've followed anything about this Government ID drama like the Persona company drama, you'll know why this is a bad idea.

KEEP CALLING YOUR CONGRESSMEN! KEEP PRAYING IF YOU'RE RELIGIOUS! PROTEST! CALL YOUR REPS! CALL THE GOVERMENT! MAKE POSTS! MAKE SOME NOISE!

STOP THE GOVERNMENT FROM TAKING AWAY OUR INTERNET PRIVACY!
