@amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov This bill will do nothing to protect kids, and in fact will only harm people (especially kids) Privacy, not more surveillance #KOSASucks

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! stopkosa.com
New York State releases final rules for "SAFE for KIDS Act", requiring age verification for "addictive feeds" as of January 2027. Bluesky will very likely comply, since the Discover feed is probably "addictive" under this law. So start shopping for VPNs now! ag.ny.gov/press-releas...
Attorney General James and Governor Hochul Release Final SAFE for Kids Act Rules to Protect Children Online
NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today released final rules on how social media companies must restrict addictive features on their platforms

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.

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
When talk about KOSA & the threat of mass censorship of the internet via online ID checks, this is an important piece of the puzzle. We can fight for Big Tech accountability & internet safety for all without steamrolling over the rights of the vulnerable. www.badinternetbills.com

An update on the KIDS Act: the package of censorship and surveillance "kids safety" bills that Congress rushed to a vote, passed out of the House last night on a 267-117 vote (with 47 members not voting). This is bad news, but not the end of the road. KOSA is not law yet.
I get rly sad that so many nonblack artists get scared of making black ocs because they "don't wanna be racist" but trust me with a bit of research and viewing black individuals with personalized style and autonomy, it makes the process easier.
Less than 6 months ago @discord.com had a data breach exposing ID’s of 70,000 + of its users but …apparently hasn’t learned anything? ID checks don’t make the internet safer, they make us all more vulnerable. www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
Age verification for all.

Tumblr's "Russian bot" and porn ban + the Quarantine six years ago were the two biggest contributors for why the internet is a homogenous tar pit rn if you aren't putting in the work to curate your own spaces.
