GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

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

What can you do to #savespeech?

- Call your MEPs. Every time they introduce any UKOSA law or Digital ID/ID AV law, tell them "NO" loudly and often: www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home
- Continue #fightchatcontrol and follow them for updates: fightchatcontrol.eu

- Suggest other, more positive legislation, such as curbing paypro censorship: stop-paypros.neocities.org
- Protest physically if they continue to push these bad bills.

This is a Marathon. It may seem daunting or taxing, but together? We can #savespeech and stop the Puritain Regime in its tracks.

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

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

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.

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.

Remember what I told you about Chat Control earlier!

Don't give up! Even, if the fight seems senseless and unwinnable, you have to PUSH hard on this! Search for scripts online (they're on Tumblr) if you can't form your own thoughts, use MAGA arguments if your Senator/House Represantive (1/?)

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

The focus on pornography and blaming it for every social problem has led to actual predators flying under the radar until it's too late.

Stop blaming porn and start finding actual solutions.

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!
