If you're like me and you are struggling to contact your senators re: KOSA via their phone lines this week, I recommend attempting to send physical letters or emails in the meantime.

Here is a script you can use to contact your reps!

www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [LOCATION]
I'm messaging to demand [SENATOR] oppose S. 1748, the Kids Online Safety Act, also known as KOSA. This broad legislation does not protect anyone and instead will be used to block any speech that the Trump administration’s partisan FTC disagrees with. It pushes the “duty of care” onto websites and social media platforms to remove content that is “harmful to children”. It would lead to overcompliance, mass censorship, and remove access to crucial information re: everything from mental health, LGBT topics, substance abuse, eating disorders and more.
Additionally, while large, corporate platforms like X can shoulder the weight of “duty of care”, smaller websites cannot, leading to greater and greater concentrations of power online into giant corporate platforms rather than small and medium sized businesses.
KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
IF SENATOR COSPONSORED KOSA: Additionally, I want to remark on [SENATOR]’s cosponsorship of this bill. I think it is shameful that [SENATOR] has backed a bill as transparently bad as KOSA. This will not keep kids safe, it is an excuse to censor the free and open internet. I will not be voting for nor donating to [SENATOR] in any future campaigns if they do not drop their co-sponsorship of this bill, and I will encourage everyone in my life to do the same.
Do the right thing.

Today is the day Mr. Hummelgaard wanted to push through a vote on Chat Control in the EU Council. But he failed! 🎉

However, Chat Control will be back.

#ChatControl is nothing but a Trojan Horse for citizens and businesses in Europe. Why?

🧵 (1/7)

Trojan horse labeled with "Protect Children" while "Mass Surveillance" sits inside and the "EU Member States" welcome it through the gate.

Toxic negativity and toxic positivity are two sides of the same ugly coin. Both should be avoided and called out.

That said, I have often found that terminally online people take their negativity far more seriously than any kind of positivity and it's still weird.

it’s hateful to have to do so, but make sure to mention the blowback on tall cis women, GNC cis women, butch lesbians, and any cis woman who doesn’t look feminine enough for the toilet police. MPs will be more inclined to sympathise if they understand that this isn’t *just* a trans issue.

🚨This is an emergency🚨

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Chat control's vote has been shelved for now, but the EU is still very intent on driving through this kind of legislation in the future if they can

If youre an EU resident, you need to contact your MPs and MEPs regularly and demand this be OPPOSED

Between #savespeech and #fightchatcontrol, the current EU wants to STILL push to "protect the kids" in their own invasive way.

Also I might ask why are we still having elections now with Dems significantly overperforming from last year? I don't think many have considered that trying to cancel elections completely is one thing that has a lot of potential to piss off a ton of people on both sides of the aisle.

Actually Ghostface @vantablackpharaoh.bsky.social · 3d

I've said it before and will say it again:

If they TRULY plan for there to be no more elections and are "acting like there will be no elections", WHY ARE THEY GERRYMANDERING, TRYING TO RIG VOTING MACHINES, AND RETIRING?

They say it’s to protect children, but this new EU law would let AI scan every message we send.
That means our private moments; photos, chats, confessions, could be monitored forever.

We all knew it was never about the porn. But if your normie bros wanna keep torrenting their marble and star worms they're gonna have to actually take the gooners seriously for once.

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 5d

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

@theromanoreport.bsky.social has some choice words about resilience. And he's been one of the ones more alarmed about what's happening than most.

He's right to be alarmed. Shit's scary right now. But the important thing is NOT TO GIVE UP. Ever. Because they won't win.

1. If you're from Michigan, call your reps and tell them to OPPOSE this bill regardless of the chances of passing.
- House: www.house.mi.gov
- Senate: senate.michigan.gov/senators/all...

2. The guy pushing this bill just got busting for watching people busting. Hypocrisy at its finest. #SaveSpeech

None of these loser-ass, fascist-ass policies and rules and laws are set in stone! None of them are DESTINED to pass, nor are they now a permanent fabric of our universe for the ones who are enacted!

We, together, can change things! We can change the future!

Dont be discouraged by the fact a vote can be done again in Dec.

It has been tabled because we as a group organized against it. We did that! You did that! This is a W!

This is a thing we can beat! You made it bleed!

What’s encouraging is by this time last time, the last version of the bill was already in the other chamber ready for a vote.

Right now, I don’t think it’s even out of committee yet. Really says something about how the public attitude changed from then till now.

But yes still contact your reps!
