Here's my updated script (refined through calling a few times,) to tidy things up for time, and specifically apply to both of them.

Call daily if possible!

Another thing to do is to take this towards other parties, tell the greens you will support them if they take on the path against this.

Make it so the other parties start picking up the anti OSA, pro Paypros regulation, anti censorship route and if they do be loud about supporting them.

If youre in the UK and havent signed this petition, please do despite their response here. At 100k sigs they have to discuss it again

Petitions arent a silver bullet on their own, but they help communicate how many people do/dont support something. Its low commitment and worth doing!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

Canadians! The UK is attempting to push their own version of the Online Safety Act onto Canada via the bill S-209!

You need to contact your representatives in parliament and explain how this policy is catastrophically bad! Mention the discord data breach!

KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off.
Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses.

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!

Its almost like anti-porn laws are never actually about porn. 🤔

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 1d

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.

A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 2d

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

Discord says 70,000 users may have had their government IDs leaked in breach

The ID pics had been submitted as part of age-related appeals.

this is a really good sign, but it's not over until it's over. Germany has flipped before, and we cannot risk it flipping again. Germans, continue to voice your opposition to your MEPs/MPs. likewise, everyone else in the EU should be similarly vocal!

we have 7 more days!

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 3d

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

Germany voices opposition to Chat Control, tilting the balance.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.
