I put on my tech reporter hat and wrote about Texas' other age- verification law, SB 2420. Beginning Jan. 1, 2026, the law will require age verification on app marketplaces. Apple and Google have both released guidance on the law, despite concerns over user privacy: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

The new Texas law that Apple and Google aren't happy about

Apple and Google say Texas' new law may risk user privacy—but they'll comply anyway.

I want to remind people that when there is a call to action to "contact your reps", it needs to be more than once

Going forward, contacting your reps needs to become part of your routine, at the very least during the work week.

Sustained pressure over time is what matters!

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!

A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

The UK(and France) are pushing other countries to impliment AV bills similar to the UKOSA. Privacy will be invaded. Data will be leaked. Adult content shrinks.

Call your MPs in Canada. Tell them "Vote NO on S-209."
