![SCREEN ACT
It would push websites to impliment methods to verify the age of users to ensure they are not a minor. This can lead to similar mass censorship, surveillance, and invasions of privacy akin to the Online Safety Act in the UK, and are proven to be a failure of a safety system. See Roblox or the multitude of porn sites who impliment them.
PRIORITY: MODERATE
FADPA
Establishes a process between copyright holders and liscences to go to court and have websites or internet services blocked for engaging in copyright infringement. This is essentially an "internet kill switch" with no checks, and can lead to broader censorship of internet freedom.
PRIORITY: MODERATE
Block BEARD ACT [draft bill]
This would impliment a legal process similar to the MCA which would force ISPs, search engines, and other mechanisms to block entire foreign websites. This can lead to broader internet censorship/suppression, have sites blocked for political dissent or contraversal speech, and lacks any form of public transparency on why sites would be cut off.

We cannot run. There are not alternatives or tricks we can use to avoid what is coming
We HAVE to fight. You need to call your reps and yell at them. Get your family to call. Get your friends to call.
The only way out of this is by fighting

Why should I have to accept a version of America where we are so afraid of porn that we have effectively banned it thru these laws? Why should I have to lose my job and passion?
Stop telling me to use a VPN or crypto and start fucking contacting people. Thank you.

![SCREEN ACT: [S.737]
- full age verification. (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks)
- Deeply unsafe for personal and data privacy. Security/data breeches are rampant, and uploading so much sensative data to every single site is just asking for mass ID theft
- ID verification is much, much harder on small websites than larget ones, creating a chilling effect and stifling speech for anyone that isn't a massive corporation
- Draw comparison to UK's OSA (Online Safety Act) and the backlash it is receiving](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vyys5nq3rbuvi3o5svdqyooo/bafkreiguyeuyprgu22jw2xxvxr22kw5zmfr3hi4qsmcmevdp5tsifygufm@jpeg)
![KOSA: [S.1748]
- creates "duty of care", meaning that texh companies and platform giants would be required to take steps to prevent potentially harmful encounters, such as posts about eating disorders and instance of online bullying, from impacting minors
- who gets to decide what is or is not "unsafe for minors"? Especially under the current administration
- it will block access to important info minors could use to keep themselves safe or advocate for themselves. Ex: sex ed
- the vague nature of the bill almost certainly target LGBT content under the guise of "protecting children"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vyys5nq3rbuvi3o5svdqyooo/bafkreibox7qtdzctynknizyjxhj33dfoduswqgn4cb5xbo6jtx45ebtyem@jpeg)
![INTERASTATE OBSCENITY DEFINITION ACT: [S.1671]
- seeks to define "obscenity" for purposes of the Communications Act of 1934 and other purposes.
- define "obscenity" as media that "appeals to prurient interest in nudity, sex, or erection", depicts sexual acts/genitals/exhibition intended to sexually gratify a person and "lack artistic value"
- tldr, wants to make everything pornographic, or which the state can CALL pornographic, "obscene". Obscenity is not protected speech and therefore can be censored and criminalized
- blatant attempt to censor free speech and criminalize marginalized groups under the guise of "obscenity"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vyys5nq3rbuvi3o5svdqyooo/bafkreigkgzsxw2q3mdznps3mmwgh2fg6zun4ouugg4d2e4ho5u3wnbgp4q@jpeg)

Antifa is short for “anti fascist”
America once fought a war against fascism
Now Trump says this anti fascist spirit-the idea that we must oppose tyranny-is a terrorist notion
I’ve marched with people identifying as Antifa
They were always peaceful
Nobody attacked the Capitol
Unlike MAGA
