Honestly, I'm not much of an advocate to trans rights, but using a fully governed name/real name in social media surely revoke your trans right. Please fight for it. Stop KOSA and Digital ID. Stop OSA, DSA, Chat Control, and everything.

"Now, apparently, the company has adopted the attitude that, in essence, if you are concerned at all about mass surveillance and limiting the power of law enforcement, you support criminals. It is a simplistic, juvenile, and ultimately authoritarian stance."

While niether bill has moved, this will be the endgoal of KOSA. To censor "harmful content" for everyone, including kids.

Coupled w/ a section 230 repeal/sunset, amd we wouldnt be able to talk about these things. EVER

Call your reps. Daily if you can. Tell them to vote NO
The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would force social media platforms to filter and suppress content that the Trump admin is willing to argue makes kids "depressed" or "anxious."

Videos of ICE murdering people make me pretty depressed and anxious, and I'm a grown ass adult.

See where this is going?

This misses the key distinction which is that the Online Safety Act (& KOSA in the U.S.) is about punishing, censoring and surveilling *users*. None of these “child safety” laws are about punishing actual big tech companies. They’re ONLY about censoring speech, they reward big tech financially

Good on Bandcamp for staying loyal to smaller creators on this subject. It's a nice breath of fresh air, at the very least.

Now if only other large corporations weren't so money-hungry...

People heard that the DEICER app was removed from the app stores a few months ago.

It was removed, but it’s not gone!

You can't get it in app stores, but you can download a web app that works on both platforms here. deicer.org

It seems important, with the recent escalation, to share information!

🖋️ “Oppose KOSA - It Will Censor LGBTQ+ Content and Resources” hit 10 signers!

💬 Text SIGN PBHVRK to 50409
Oppose KOSA - It Will Censor LGBTQ+ Content and Resources
Text SIGN PBHVRK to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to oppose the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which you have co-sponsored twice, most recently in 2025. Despite its name, this legislation functions as a censorship bill that will be weaponized against LGBTQ+ communities, particularly trans youth seeking healthcare information. KOSA establishes a duty of care that would empower the Trump administration's Federal Trade Commission to censor online content deemed capable of making children anxious or depressed. This vague standard creates a direct pathway to remove LGBTQ+ health resources and abortion information from the internet. This is not speculation. Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn has openly stated the law would remove trans content online, and the Heritage Foundation explicitly stated its goal is keeping trans content away from kids. The Trump-controlled FTC has already held a workshop on using agency authority to target trans healthcare providers, following Project 2025's blueprint to label queer and trans content as pornographic. Your support for KOSA contradicts your own legislative record. You co-sponsored the Safe Sex Worker Study Act to study harm from SESTA/FOSTA, an anti-trafficking law that led to widespread censorship of LGBTQ+ resources. KOSA raises identical concerns but on a larger scale. Your progressive allies including Senator Edward Markey, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Representative Maxwell Frost have opposed this bill for these exact reasons. In September 2025, Fight For The Future and a coalition of local LGBTQ+ organizations delivered petitions opposing KOSA to your office and requested a meeting. That request was ignored. Your constituents deserve to be heard on legislation that directly threatens their access to life-saving information. Better alternatives exist to address Big Tech harms, including privacy legislation, antitrust enforcement, and algorithmic justice reforms that do not sacrifice vulnerable communities. I urge you to withdraw your co-sponsorship of KOSA and oppose this bill.

Also, a kid in the UK got arrested because of their own #KOSA law giving the government power to track minors on Discord and arrested them for crude messaging. Just one out of 12,000.

This is why government surveillance should really terrify you. This has NEVER been about protecting kids online!

There's a lot that I personally want to say about this whole mess of a world we live in, yet I know it's safer for me to not say anything as of now.

If you can read the subtext, then I want to apologize for not having much power to change anything.

I want to leave this nightmare behind one day.

The respectability policing that goes on after cops or federal agents (who are also cops, y'all) kill someone is always unbearable. Dissecting the actions of the victim, putting them on trial when they cannot defend themselves, declaring they should have done this or that. Did they deserve to die?!
