KOSA doesn't help these kids. No one's talking about "protecting" these kids. They're on their own. W/ favorite collaborator @legalminimum.bsky.social

I always wish I could forget details from that one article about the kids on insta with their parents selling photos of them in bathing suits and leotards.
and the one about kids whose entire lives have been filmed. the kid whose first period was blasted to the world.
please keep making calls about these bills and policies!
Age Verification will NOT make the internet safer.
Pass that on!
Dylan M. Taylor, a Senior DevOps Engineer at Credit Genie, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu, & Arch.
He collaborated with two Microsoft employees to merge it. Lennart Poettering then personally blocked the revert & allowed the PR through.
The surveillance state runs on unpaid simps.
Daily reminder to keep fighting KOSA and protecting section 230. We can't lose the internet as we know it to AI age verification and censorship.

Hey, if youre like me, i know that it's hard to keep track of everything you need to call your reps about right now
this isnt exhaustive but here's a script with a check list of issues that demand attention right now. I'll likely be add more later
CALL YOUR REPS

New week, more calls. Tbh, had been sick for last week, so I'm gonna be starting to catch up on my calls. Nothing should stop us from flooding those voice message boxes.
#savespeech
Now is a great time to call your senator and tell them to oppose KOSA!
☎️: (202) 224-3121

And in case there was any room for doubt, the Republican coauthor of KOSA explicitly said she expects and hopes the bill to make it harder for queer people to connect with each other and find out they're not alone (as Katelyn says she did here)

The GOP now has to claim they're protecting your kid from "the transgender" because they can't claim to be against pedophiles anymore since Donald Trump is a sex trafficking child molester.
Protect your kids from Republicans; oppose KOSA and protect trans rights. The real monsters are the GOP
White poster with red and blue text asking viewers to call their members of Congress to vote no on the Kid's Act, it's KOSA 2.0. Features photos and phone numbers for Schiff, Padilla, Pelosi and Mullin.
Vote NO on the “KIDS Act”!
It’s KOSA 2.0: Tell Your Representatives to No.

Strong reminder: women have not been independent for as long as some folks would like you to believe. We’ve lost rights that we never should have lost.
At the moment, Starmer's right-wing Labour party is currently doing everything they can to help tech companies mine every last bit of your personal data. If this goes through, you can forget about ever keeping yourself or your children safe and your personal data private.
Web access must NOT be held hostage to ID checks ⚠️
We can't nod through a law giving Ministers free rein to block or time-limit whatever they want online.
All of us will be forced to hand over our sensitive data repeatedly to any given provider for everyday Internet use.
Tell your MP to say NO ⬇️
You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD.
You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it.
I've made my calls today. You need to.
The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say:
If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:
spiderking23 @spiderking232 X.com All pornography is bad. As someone who is still somewhat caught in its grip, it is a despicable evil, a very blight on the human condition that should be utterly eradicated. It does to your brain, your conscience, and morality, the same thing smoking does to your lungs. › TheConservativeFurry @ConservFurry99.2d Apparently liking feral dragon art is zoophilia. Never mind the fact that dragons are mythological creatures. That is obviously irrelevant information. LOL x.com/FishermanCho/s... 10:36 PM • 3/6/26 • 6K Views 20 Relevant v ~ 348 贝 23 View quotes >
Friendly reminder self-reported “porn addiction” is correlated with personal guilt over using porn, statistics suggest self-identifying “porn addicts” are actually consuming porn at a relatively normal rate — they just feel uniquely bad about it due to their religious values
After you watch this you should call your representatives to oppose KOSA (I think it’s also merged with other similar bills into KIDS ACT, HR 7757) and the many other numerous censorship anti-privacy bills that are trying to be bum rushed passed this and next week
Don’t be a DOOMER about it, ACT! 📞

Holy shit I hadn't knew off that, they are that bone headed as to not think for a second how this shit will make parent child communications in the case of an emergency impossible.
Seriously this fucking law sucks more and more.
You mean Iran won't get more war funding, KOSA and its derivatives won't pass, and the myriad of other shit going after marginalized people your base lusts over will get jammed up?
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Extremely urgent, the OS-wide ID verification laws are spreading like wildfire right now. Call and email your reps and tell them to knock it off with this shit please #savespeech #privacy #saveprivacy #notodigitalID #OS_IDVerification
Every KOSA bill is designed to do three things:
1.) Make lists of adults so pedophiles know who not to stalk.
2.) Isolate children in abusive families so they can't get help.
3.) Kill queer children.
You'll never guess how often these three things overlap.
FINALLY got around to emailing my senators & House rep to vote NO on KOSA & also vote NO on repealing or reforming Section 230!
Now to do it all over again tomorrow!
If KOSA gets passed, then I want to make it a priority to say this: fuck every single Republican in the government. And fuck the cowardly Democrats perpetuating this.
This is nothing but a full on internet censorship bill.
Push back.
Hard.
Hey, gang- new morning routine for me: I've been calling my reps to not support the KIDS Act package, which includes KOSA. It literally takes a few minutes to do. If I can do it, you can do it. We've got this. 💕
Get on the Phones and Emails.
KOSA and SAVE must not Pass!
