Although the next Texas legislative session doesn't happen until 2027, it's still good to contact your local reps and tell them how this violates our 1st Amendment, and could lead to identify theft and put more kids in danger. #StopAgeVerification #StopOnlineIDChecks

North Texas lawmaker plans to pass a law to ban social media for children under 16 in the state A state lawmaker from North Texas says he's going to try to pass a bill modeled after Australia.

Can't say I'm surprised by this in Texas. I get that there's a need to protect kids, but banning social media is not the answer. It's censorship, and can lead to data hacks. Hope this gets blocked too. #SaveSpeach #StopAgeVerification #StopOnlineIDChecks

They want pictures of your kids. After everything that has happened, how does this not sound creepy?!

If you're from the UK, call your Lords and MPs to put a stop to this insane crap!

Age verification laws do not help kids. They hurt our 1st Amendment and our privacy, and leaves our data vulnerable to hackers and leakers. Regardless of the odds of passing, call your reps to OPPPOSE this bill. #savesspeech #stopageverification #stoponlineidchecks

Big Tech won in Texas — but the age-verification fight is just getting started States are mounting a new challenge to Silicon Valley over age verification and parental consent, and while industry just scored an early win, the Supreme Court is likely to have the final say.

This isn't about "Big Tech", @politico.com. This is about our free speech and privacy, and the dangers of censorship, mass surveillance, & data hacks.

The pushback came from the people dissenting these laws, as they negatively affect all of us! #savesspeech #stopageverification #stoponlineidchecks

A biometric scan or an ID upload can be a huge obstacle for undocumented communities. These practices can also prevent youth seeking life saving resources and information.

ID Verification Service for TikTok, Uber, X Exposed Driver Licenses As social networks and porn sites move towards a verified identity model, the actions of one cybersecurity researcher show that ID verification services themselves could get hacked too.

In order to verify someone’s identity/age, websites collect + store your data, often through third party companies that expose people to identity and data theft: tinyurl.com/5522v3n7

Introduce yourself, be polite, and say:

“Hi there, My name is (your name) and I am calling to oppose multiple harmful internet bills that are moving through Congress right now. I oppose all bills that mandate online ID checks, infringe upon our constitutional right to free speech on the internet, enable government policing of online resources, and threaten end-to-end encryption. If you truly care about young people’s experience on the internet, you should pass comprehensive data privacy legislation and oppose any bill that forces Internet users to submit to ID checks or would censor the internet, like the SCREEN Act, App Store Accountability Act, and KOSA.”

What we need is regulation and consequences. Whenever I have reported an account or comment for hate speech or bullying, my report has made no difference. The comment remains, the account still exists, and it’s up to me to block and move on, while that person or bot continues to spread hate. What responsibility do the platforms themselves owe to users? If tech companies have the capability to delete accounts for people under the age of 16, they also have the capability to delete accounts that bully, harass or cause harm. Banning social media for young people doesn’t actually solve the problems at the crux of this issue. Does the government not realise that bullying and trolling will continue on unregulated apps like WhatsApp, Roblox, Discord and probably many others that will pop up in the next few months to fill the gap that Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok have left?

Dr Same agrees. “The focus on banning specific platforms based on social interaction, rather than actual risk, is likely to overlook where dangers lie,” she says. “In some cases, the ban could even increase risk. Children are likely to miss out on the opportunity to learn how to use social media safely and responsibly with appropriate adult guidance. If they begin using it secretly, they may be less likely to seek help or tell their parents if they encounter a predator or harmful situation. The ban could push children toward less regulated or underground platforms, where harmful content is more difficult to monitor.”

"It’s not my behaviour online that’s the issue here, yet it is kids like me who are being punished."

ID Checks and AV laws won't make kids safe. It'll only make the problem worse.

YouTube says it will be less safe for kids under Australia's social media ban The Google-owned platform says parental controls will be stripped away as a result of the ban.

Funny when it's the other way around. These age verification rules/bills are still bad in any case, and they don't protect anyone. They shred our freedom of speech, invade our privacy, and puts our data at risk! #stopageverification #stoponlineidchecks
