SCREEN failed to pass out of committee, despite a 15-13 vote (in favor). Not enough members voting, but looks like a party line vote. Good work everyone! Keep up the pressure for after recess and beyond!
Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · yesterdayIf SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.
GOOD NEWS! 👏 Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, a dangerous, obscenity censorship bill, is officially dead in the Senate committee. And it's all thanks to us using our voices of opposition. ... However, KOSA still did pass. Predictable, but we still need to keep our calls going.
SOME GOOD NEWS! continue to contact your reps re: KOSA and the KIDS Act, but also give yourself a pat on the back if you called! Your voice mattered!

Y'all gotta understand the bigger picture. Not only their livelihoods are effected, it could and might snowball upon the rest of us who don't create "icky" stuff. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile basically.
Rootbeercutiebooty@rootbeercutie.bsky.social · 6d agoThe problem with KOSA and the SCREEN Act is that we know it's not really about protecting children. It's never about protecting children. If these pass, they'll try to pass laws against online sex workers and more.
‼️ALERT: KOSA is moving next week to the Senate Commerce Committee for markup! Call your reps today, again tomorrow, and all weekend leaving messages opposing this dangerous censorship bill. www.badinternetbills.com

this is nothing short of a catastrophic blunder on the part of the lawmakers of new york. rather than understanding that age verification is not a proper method for protecting kids online, they proceed to place in the first few cogs of the mass surveillance machine for the state. unacceptable.

The date could be on August 5th, also Mike Lee's SCREEN Act (another bill I dreaded) is included in this, and even though it's not bipartisan, unlike KOSA, we can't expect it to not pass. So we need to oppose not just KOSA but also the SCREEN Act when calling our Senators.
