i believe i have mentioned something about this before, but TIDA (take it down act), a censorship bill that was unfortunately signed into law, will be going into effect on may 19 of this year. meaning that whatever happens to content they deem illegal (in this case, referring to media regarding queer, minorities and marginalized groups) will be removed by the sites themselves.
i honestly don't believe contacting organizations on this would do anything now, as it's been signed into law, and as far as i know, there doesn't seem to be any time for us to make congress remove this law, let alone when anyone will ever listen to us again, but if you wanna try, then be my guest.
if you haven't archived anything just yet, i highly suggest that you do. millions, if not billions of content (that would obviously not be breaking the law, mind you) would probably be removed very soon. i'm just hoping that it wouldn't be as bad as i'm making it out to be, due to the bill being vague. but at this point, i can't be too sure, other than fearing the worst, cuz what else can i do?
this act will also make sure that posts regarding palestine, congo, and any other place that's going through a genocide, never seep through. again, due to how vague the bill is, it is unsure what will happen. but that does mean that the posts about palestine on here might have to slow down. i fear that i could literally get my ass arrested for this. yes, i'm not joking when i say that. i could get in trouble for showing support. this does not mean i'll never make another post again. i'll still try to do what i've been doing here, but for now, i'm unsure on how to continue from here, knowing how bad this bill will be, once enacted.
i apologize for this post. the internet means a lot to me, but knowing that it'll be affected in the worst way possible, with no way out, or to have any change to something better, i don't see anything positive about this. if it gets worse (which i'm sure it will, it always will), then i'm not sure if i might not be able to post on here anymore, without risking my life to these monsters who rule over everything.
