I'll post it directly since the first post is relevant for all british citizens because it mentions politicians outside of my reach (I'm a German citizen) and the least I can do is to share it publicly for all british folks to take action right away.

Some key takeaways from today’s hearing:
-Many acknowledged that Senate KOSA is a threat to free expression.
-Bills discussed have similar issues to KOSA, esp online ID checks.
-The bad idea that surveillance + censorship will keep kids safe online drove the discussion.
KEEP AT EM! ✊

Remember that huge Discord data breach in Europe earlier this year, when so many folks had their identities stolen because of easy access to their IDs?
That is one BIG reason to NOT support online ID verification.

You shouldn’t have to present your ID, credit card info, or face to be scanned just to access your favorite sites, news, or games yet this is the growing reality for Internet users globally. We need a firestorm to take down online ID checks for good-- so we planned one. Join us for a week of action!

Will the ban be delayed or postponed, and how will age verification work? Platforms will need to deactivate accounts for users under 16 and stop teens from making accounts until they are that age, or face fines of up to $50m. Here’s everything you need to know
