Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of.
Call your reps NOW.
the bill is 'H.R.8250'
while usually i'd take a "wait and see" approach to a bill that has only been introduced, the us govt is moving FAST wrt age verification, so please, contact your representatives (particularly the house) and advocate against AV on device laws

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.
They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖
I'm in a bad financial spot with owed taxes & a bunch of medical appointments all happening within the same month and I'm looking for some aid. If you can even share this post to more eyes and people who can help, I would greatly appreciate it! <3 ko-fi.com/neekko/goal?... #mutualaid
I read through the article and through the letters sent to these paypros and you guys should too (like please actually read them, don't rely on me). It specifically cites religious and political views but the language is wide open. This is good

Oh whoops
Surely it’s the clothes getting smaller
Many a day in the mines
Some practice
He was always my favorite 😌↕️
also, my understanding is that the US senate will be voting on the SAVE ACT/ SAVE AMERICA ACT
-TOMORROW- (saturday the 20th)
so PLEASE call and yell at your reps about that one specifically literally right now
Attention to people living in Illinois, Chicago: you have until Thursday to register a formal message to the state legislature that requiring age verification to install Linux is a horrible idea. This doesn't require writing anything, just filling out a form. Click through this quoted post:
Please call your Reps and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE ACT, HR 22/S 128. Five Calls has a good script: 5calls.org/issue/save-a...
I did another
You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE:
-the KIDS Act
-KOSA
-the Screen Act
-Sammy's Law
-the App Store Accountability Act
And additionally, oppose:
-reforming/sunsetting Section 230
-online age verification/ID laws
www.congress.gov/members/find...
Theyre only going after in-game gambling/loot boxes as a means to get age verification in the door
We have to keep complaining:

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)
Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money
www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...
I'm sending them a physical letter, the first one I've written in years. Consider doing the same if you're sick of banks policing your access to legal digital media.

Yesterday, the KIDS Act has Passed the E&C, and soon will be pushing into the house! This is a combination of KOSA, SCREEN Act, App Store Accountability Act, and other bills into one package.
Contact your Reps, and tell them to OPPOSE these bills! Stay strong, and fight for your rights and privacy!
Big news, and not good news, but luckily for us we have time. It needs to get to the committee of rules FIRST before heading to the main house chamber.
This means our fight is not over.
We will need to fight HARDER
#savespeech #notodigitalid
Literally pulling the "well we're just going to wait and hope people forget"

If you’re part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.
just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.
you have until March 23rd to comment.
i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.
Also, do not stop calling your lawmakers to protect #Section230. Call them everyday, because many LGBTQ+ youths need the internet to survive this cruel world that views their existence as undesirable. Repealing it is part of Project 2025.
U.S. House/Senate number: (202) 224-3121
Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121
