Digital rights are human rights. There's hardly anything as important as ensuring that our shared future has freedom of expression and creativity at its core. https://www.fightforthefuture.org

🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

You could always use alternative payment methods to undermine the bastards
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Players are roleplaying in Fortnite to teach each other their rights when encountering ICE officials

“I would slip [the warrant] under the door, but there’s no space under the door,” the agent says.

The civilian pauses. “Well. Sounds like a personal problem.”

As the Trump administration eroding privacy protections and ramps up corporate surveillance, many seeking reproductive healthcare are finding their sensitive health information can be used against them.

A lot of these "For the Children" Internet bills often do a lot more harm than good. Sometimes because of unintended consequences...Sometimes by design.

This is an excellent breakdown.

I urge you to call your Congresspeople/Senators in opposition. #InformationPolicy

Important to note here that the FBI was able to access the chat because of an informant who was in the chat.

Your Signal chats are only secure if you know and trust the people in them.

But be careful not to spread this in a way that makes people think "Signal is not really encrypted." Unhelpful.

Again, please keep calling your lawmakers everyday or write them emails to oppose KOSA that would actually censor the internet if every content this administration despises as well as spreading the message about it everywhere.

So, Massachusetts' @repauchincloss.bsky.social is a member of the Congressional Equality Caucus, but he's joining with a Republican booster of #KOSA to start a new caucus for "Kids Online Safety", i.e., hand power to Donald Trump's FTC to decide what's safe for kids to read.

Remember to Call your Reps against this and use the call system from @fightforthefuture.org even the message system from @eff.org to do the same but keep a track of House KOSA via Congress Website to keep track of it.

They're not just trying to drive trans people out of public life through bathroom bans & sports bans, they're also trying to make trans people illegal on the Internet.

And shoving trans people back in the closet is just the start, since they've also made it their mission to revoke trans passports.

Proctorio became a default tool during the Pandemic, but when students took to social media to voice concerns about privacy, biases and lack of accessibility, the company went full force to suppress critiques by claiming copyright infringement.

Can't afford an abortion or FFS? Mutual Aid.
Struggling with rent or medical bills? Mutual Aid.
Supporting families in Palestine, Congo, Sudan? Mutual Aid.
One of the greatest threats these efforts? Financial data surveillance & censorship.

Trump has found a terrifyingly effective way to eliminate bad news: delete the data.

From hunger and poverty stats to foreign investment numbers, federal agencies are being gutted—making it harder to measure the impact of his policies.

This goes for all Democrats.
@edmarkey.bsky.social if you really want to support trans people, start by withdrawing support for dangerous censorship Bills like the Kids Online Safety Act.

KOSA is a Trojan Horse- promising ‘safety' when it will actually harm LGTBQ kids by blocking life-saving resources online.

Now that MBS is back in town and being wined and dined by Trump, Musk, Bezos and other tech billionaires?
