If 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.

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

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...

I keep seeing people thinking this is a bluesky problem. If you're seeing this it thinks you're in a state or country with age verification laws. This is what every social media site will do if KOSA and the KIDS Act succeeds. Running to another socmed won't fix it, we have to fight the source.

Dredgen Sale 🔜 Maybe? PAX West 🟪⬜️⬛️@destinythememe.bsky.social · last mo.

Well i dont know how long this login session is gonna last but @bsky.app just asked me to do an age verification with personal information. If this happens again i will not attempt to log back in. If i dont post here again let bsky know that i prefer my privacy over this platform.

In the most literal sense, this took me 30 seconds. Please do this right now. Do not put it off.

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.

This bill is legitimately the thing we've been waiting for. Forcing AI to reveal it's sources would cripple it, because it literally can't comply with the law, because all of it is stolen- they didn't record it Please sign to hasten the bubble popping

Black Forest Labs (like Stability AI) likely took a bunch of work off the internet in order to train their AI. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset. Want to help it pass? Please sign this petition in support, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/

ACLU@aclu.org · 3mo ago

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just voted to require teachers to forcibly out transgender youth against their will. Censoring "gender ideology" does nothing to advance the basic promise that every child deserves the same opportunity to thrive, and that includes transgender students.

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 www.congress.gov/members/find...

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. 💖

Discord is beta testing Nitro Squads for desktop users in Australia. Squads offers 6 users full Nitro perks, excluding Boosts, for $33.99 AUD (roughly the cost of 2.5 individual subscribers).

Hey all, Kevin here. Please read.

Remember, discord is -still- planning to do this in around a month or two. Cancel your nitro, but ALSO call your reps and tell them that online Id/ age verification policy is an unsafe invasion of privacy www.congress.gov/members/find...

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
