🚨 KOSA UPDATE The added "duty of care" standard would force websites to identify minors to avoid legal risk, pushing the internet toward ID checks, facial scans, mass age-gating, excessive data collection and censorship FOR EVERYONE. Next comes a full Senate vote. Contact your senators NOW. (1/2)

The Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...

While the SCREEN Act failed in the committee, KOSA did move forward. Contact your senators immediately demanding it be opposed, and keep the pressure up until it comes to a vote in the Senate

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!

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.

Call your senators even if you think you have one that will not listen. Sacrificing everyone’s privacy is an incredibly high cost. Australia had a similar law that is already showing that it doesn’t protect kids. The idea that this protects kids is a Trojan horse for surveillance on the internet

Punchbowl reporting that the Senate Commerce Committee will hold a mark-up for #KOSA next week, citing "a person familiar". Nothing on the Committee website itself yet. punchbowl.news/article/tech... #SaveSpeech

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.

#savespeech #discord #furry #stopcensorship #eu #europe #chatcontrol Call your reps, call your MEPs, get them to stop pushing for this shit + repeal it where it's in force.

France just became the first nation in Europe to ban teens from social media and, you guessed it, they’re forcing everyone to upload their ID’s for social media access in order to enforce it. www.bbc.com/news/article...

People are desperate for tangible things that can’t be taken away by greedy billionaires. CDs are cheaper and more portable than vinyl, and a greater portion of the money spent goes to musicians compared to the pennies provided by Spotify and Apple Music.

16.3 million CDs were sold in the first half of 2026 in the US, a 16 percent increase year-over-year.

Bluesky Safety@safety.bsky.app · last mo.

Texas passed an age assurance law that requires Bluesky to verify the age of users. This law was paused by a judge and then unpaused by an appeals court, so we are preparing to comply. If you saw an age assurance notice today, that's why. Read about the law here: ccianet.org/news/2026/05...

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.

House passes kids online safety package despite watchdog pushback

IMPORTANT. Do not feel doomed right now. The battle is not over and we still have to keep being louder. It still has to go to the Senate.

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...

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.
