As long as we keep hammering their lines about this it's not going to matter how much they want to do these things with the mid-terms around the corner.

In fact, we can get loud enough and make these actual mid-term issues we can turn this around.

Politicians really want to appear as the worst people known to mankind, huh

My best guess is still that it won't get through because it goes against the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, Article 7.

Go after me: email them. call them. give them fucking hell.

Call yours reps, we need to make as much noise against these online bills as much as possible!

In addition to calling your reps, this website has both a lot of information explaining why these bills are bad/ why section 230 must be protected, as well as petitions to sign for each individual issue!

Signing petitions helps! Make your calls, sign petitions!

Make every second of their live misery both the ones that passed this and the ones on the next step to ratify this. This is a set back but we still cannot relent, we keep at it and become louder.

if you are in the EU you should be FURIOUS with your leaders for pushing this through in such an undemocratic manner.

continue to raise your voices and contact your representatives. demand that Chat Control be put down for good.

Great to hear Boston City Councilors explicitly condemning dangerous censorship legislation like #KOSA and the SCREEN ACT.

The Massachusetts Congressional delegation, especially @warren.senate.gov who cosponsored KOSA, and @markey.senate.gov who voted to advance it, need to start listening.

Maybe it's time to listen to your people, @warren.senate.gov, and tell your colleagues to oppose KOSA and any other censorship bills like it. None of these bills will not protect kids, it'll only harm our 1st Amendment and invade privacy. #SaveSpeech #StopKOSA

Really difficult to overstate the fury one should feel that the GOP and institutions like the New York Times went all in on transphobia as some mortal threat to women and girls while covering up something like this.
When you read these Epstein emails, you start to understand why so many prominent conservatives are obsessed with checking the genitals of children. It's a big thing for them!

Don't stop calling! We know how bad the OSA is in the UK

We dont need an American version as well
#SaveSpeech

KOSA and the Stop CSAM act are both extremely high priority

Lawmakers are looking to repeal section 230 and they are getting phone calls ENCOURAGING reps to do so!

We need to call and drown out the opposition so we can save a free and open internet!

KOSA is continuing to pick up co-sponsors. You need to call your representatives and demand they oppose this bill!

We need to outweight any of the crazy motherfuckers that want to repeal section 230.

And we need to make it real visible that any attempt at passing any of these laws or anything similar in any other country will be received with enough rage that their careers as politicians will end.

This is really not the time to simple lay down and think things won't pass, we need to be loud and protest and dismantle these things.

Also remember to inform people even outside of bluesky, send the message, the infographics, protest art and stuff to others, get people mobilized.
I really need folks to call their reos and yell about the high priority bills. Things are moving along and legislators are getting a surprising amount of SUPPORT for these policies

Please do not assume this cannot happen. Please call, get your friends and family to call. Please.
now that the govt shutdown is over, y'all will need to really yell and scream about these bills because many of them are going to be pushed again.

tell your representatives to OPPOSE these shitty policies!

in a vacuum, this doesn't sound like that big of a deal. But this is Valve thinking ahead of what consumer interests might be and going "yeah bet"

like there is already a general excitement in the air for the GabeCube, but there's also this feeling of "thank god things we want and not shit like AI"

It's more important than ever to call your reps daily. Especially if they co-sponsored #KOSA. Let them know how this bill is an attack on our freedom of speech and privacy. It won't protect kids, only shreds our rights. #SaveSpeech #StopKOSA

Every single politician supporting this fucking thing needs to be shamed and protested regardless of who is it. A message should be sent that these online surveilance and censorship laws are not to be tolerated.

We really need to dial up the heat on this, just calling it doesn't cut it.

Print protest signs and posters, make sure the cities they are have signs all over the place, come together and buy ad banners on cities to actively shame them and say how bad these laws are.

While doing everything within lawful actions, we must become inescapable for these idiots.

Gonna be real because I'm tired of people saying "they won't listen to me/us". Here's the thing; many HAVE. Causing a ruckus by stating the obvious had made some impact, but you HAVE to keep at it.

If someone told you to relinquish your freedom, you'd tell them "no". Giving up is NOT an option.
