Stop KOSA

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

🚨 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

THIS IS WHY!!!! WE CALL!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE 🩷 KOSA did pass the house but remember the senate has a conflicting version. Keep calling, it matters!

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!

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.

#savespeech #stopKOSA Senate Comm. Markup News Bad News: Senate KOSA did pass with democrat support. We all saw this coming though. Unsure on other bills. Good News: Mike Lee's SCREEN Act is dead for now. It failed to pass the bar. Overall, good job fighting. We're far from finished. Keep at it

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.

Keep. Fucking. CALLING. We need to make sure the decrepit old ghouls in power don't try to revive the SCREEN Act. For fuck sake it was only defeated by 2 fucking votes. That's way too close.

The bill isn't dead, of course — it can be brought back before the end of session — but given today's lack of engagement on it, that seems less likely than it would have even a few days ago. That's because of your calls, because of the work of @fsc.bsky.social, because of the journalists who

Tech: KOSA heads to Senate floor

The Senate Commerce Committee sent the Kids Online Safety Act to the floor on Wednesday, alongside three other bills designed to protect kids and teens using technology.

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.

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.

conservatives do not argue this because they love the Sexual Assault Machine mentioned in point 2, so they have no interest in arguing for trans women in women's sports. liberals do not argue this because they are useless tailists who have eternal gifted kid syndrome & can't grow up.

if trans women are male, but they are getting these records, then "sex" must not matter. if you insist "sex" does matter, then trans women must be female. both are unviable as challenges to male supremacy by positioning "sex" as incoherent, or socially mediated at best.

3) whenever trans women play with cis women they are often average, and even the trans women who are #1 in a thing are very close to the records of their cis women peers. if you believe that "sex differences" are why sports are sex segregated then this can either mean:

they don't want trans women to play women's sports bc 1) prohibiting trans women from women's sports (de jure) and men's sports (de facto) is a great way to otherize them as something not part of humanity 2) policing trans women and trans girl athletes is a socially-beloved Sexual Assault Machine

Fuck the world the comfortable are so desperate to preserve. It will die, and they will be dragged to a better one.

So no more half-measures, no more politeness, and no more fucking meeting in the middle. Every tradition weighing upon the world today like a rusted yoke must be named and uprooted and purged, and every doddering fence-sitter pushed over the edge with the rest of the sun-baked garbage.

People who wanted to be seen as good and progressive but were moral cowards. People scared to name the festering rot of religious conservatism eating away at the world, or the bloodsoaked patriarchal frenzy that rose in response to the most meager of gains. Everyone eager to declare history over.

The road to fascism was paved with "Reddit atheist" and "shrill feminist" and "blue hair and pronouns". The vanguard wasn't the rabid reactionaries. It was the "normals", "apoliticals", who tolerate occasional sexist comments but mock the "cringe" of well-meaning and earnest but awkward people.

The vibe coded recomps are scary to me because more and more people are spreading them around before they can be properly investigated. It's only a matter of time before malware is put into one of these disguising itself as a mario 3 recomp and making headlines.
