SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

Alison Boden@alisonboden.bsky.social · 7h ago

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · 2d ago

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.

(3) COVERED PLATFORM.— The term "covered platform" - (A) means an entity - (i) that is an interactive computer service; (ii) that- (I) is engaged in interstate or foreign commerce; or (Il) purposefully avails itself of the United States market or a portion thereof; and (iïi) for which it is in the regular course of the trade or business of the entity to create, host, or make available content that meets the definition of harmful to minors under paragraph (4) and that is provided by the entity, a user, or other intration conten provider, with

What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM. The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever. Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line. Let them know how badly it stinks. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/

Please continue to contact your senators and demand they oppose KOSA and the KIDS Act. Every vote torn away from this bill matters www.congress.gov/members/find...

The KIDS Act is facing serious headwinds in the Senate, with Marsha Blackburn getting pushback from both Cruz and the White House on what should be in the bill, and what can pass. — via @benbrodydc.bsky.social. Cruz says he'll vote for it, but doesn't believe it has the votes.

The terms "noncon" and "dubcon" are sometimes criticized as being a cover for rape, but using those terms is very much setting up parameters of play. “This is intended to be a sexy BDSM scenario, not a serious or thoughtful exploration of sexual assault.“ Meet the narrative where it's at!

FanAstraea@fanastraea.bsky.social · 11mo ago

as a fan of noncon, dubcon and under/non-negotiated cnc this is honestly one of the most straightforward explanations of this i've ever read?

Potential date set for the Senate to vote on KOSA. Americans, call your senators and tell them that you REJECT KOSA and the KIDS Act. These bills are designed to limit adults' access to legal content they find objectionable. See 🔗 post for details: bsky.app/profile/erom...

New phone script with updated details due to the bill now heading toward the Senate. Thank you @orwellday.bsky.social for making this!

Hey, a good way to celebrate Lindsey Graham kicking the bucket is to contact your senators about KOSA and the KIDS Act. Graham was a big proponent of these kinds of laws, as well as of gutting section 230.

The KIDS Act [containing KOSA] has passed the House This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

Dieselbrain@dieselbrain.bsky.social · 4w ago

I know im goin on about this a lot but please contact your senators about opposing KOSA and the KIDS Act. Please make friends and family aware of how this will effect them and their privacy.

Okay, so I guess people in Texas can't use this app anymore. How many of my friends are going to disappear now? ☹️ Also, this isn't going to stop with Texas. If the KIDS Act or KOSA isn't stopped, this'll be your future, too:

Imagine that someday your witty post offends a thin-skinned fascist who wants to use his authority to ruin your life. Now imagine that he has easy access to everything you personally have ever posted, bought, liked, or read on the internet, with no anonymity or incognito mode available.

The House has passed KOSA. It now heads to the Senate, where this version, at least, faces an uphill battle. That said, get on the horn and call your legislators. NOW.

Before anyone begins doomposting: There are still two stops it has to pass before it gets into law. And the senate doesn't like the House version of KOSA so there's a chance it doesn't pass. But don't just assume.

At least 104 Democrats vote yea to pass HR 7757. The bill passes 267-117. It now moves to the Senate, which is out until July 13th. Will post the roll call of who voted what way once it is uploaded.

Call your Reps, even if they're not there right now you can leave a message, trust me, they do see those. You don't have to be eloquent, you don't have to make a good argument, this isn't debate club, just say "Vote No on this bill," and that's all you need.

just as a notice before this gets qrt'd all over my timeline, this is based on no new information and is simply taking this paragraph from a statement in February literally. it's worth being reminded that it's still currently going to happen but this is extremely dishonestly framed

We’re delaying our global rollout to the second half of 2026. Where we have legal obligations, we will continue to meet them, but we will only expand globally after we've done the following:
