‼️ACTION ALERT: The Senate Commerce Committee is holding “kids safety” circus again, this time considering both KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) & SCREEN Act, two of the most dangerous censorship & age verification bills on the table! CALL YOUR LAWMAKERS & TELL THEM TO OPPOSE 📲 248-331-8665

These women are being held in the Brasile South Louisiana I.C.E. Processing Facility.🚨 Some have been there for months, separated from their families. One woman was recently put in solitary confinement for releasing a prior video. Multiple reports of abuse from male #ICE agents. Spread the word.

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/

Defend Online Privacy: Stop the SCREEN Act!

The Senate Commerce Committee will vote on the SCREEN Act on August 5. ACT NOW to stop it!

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

OKAY BLUESKY I NEED YOUR HELP! Hundreds of artists have signed @fightforthefuture.org's pledge to boycott venues that use AI surveillance like facial recognition. We want to get to 500 before a press conf in 2 weeks. Quote this and tag artists that might sign? Reskeet? do the thing!

Ban Facial Recognition at Live Events

Artists and venues take the pledge: no facial recognition at shows.

fixupx.com/i/status/208... The Senate Markup moved to August 3rd , working to include ASAA (App Store Accountability Act), and matters on AI. No matter how they fix these internet bills, it still can't solve this issue. These are Epstein/Censorship bills! Keep calling your Senate to oppose this!

Good idea to start mentioning the PROTECT Act as something to oppose now when making your calls to representatives

Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · 3w ago

The PROTECT Act requires all internet platforms (like this one) collect model releases and government IDs for everyone in anything nude or sexual. Not just OnlyFans, but Heated Rivalry and Hunting Wives and Mapplethorpe and top surgery photos.

ICE is quietly arresting more people than ever. After months of releasing no detention data at all, the new numbers show a record 1,474 arrests a day in early July, the highest daily pace of the entire Trump administration. 🧵 austinkocher.substack.com/p/ice-quietl...

ICE Quietly Arresting More People Than Ever According to Latest Data

NEW DATA ALERT 🚨 After months of data silence, ICE's new numbers show 65,765 people in immigration detention, deportations near 1,250 a day, and arrests now at 1,473 a day.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO START TALKING ABOUT THIS! THEY'RE GONNA TURN THIS COUNTRY INTO 1930s GERMANY AND MAKE IT A FEDERAL CRIME FOR US TO TAKE BACK OUR DEMOCRACY! #NSPM7 🚨

When marginalized people are rapidly losing rights, media is being taken over by authoritarian governments, and there are multiple factors forcing people (including children) into isolation, attacking our ability to use the internet and speak freely on it is a clear attempt to stifle resistance

Make each of those posts viral. They banned Palestinians, including journalists, from being on this app. They banned Aaliyah, who was cross-posting from Palestinian media channel Quds News Network every single day and bringing the only breaking news in English about Gaza. They don’t want us to know

Please make noise at your Senators. This Trojan Horse that threatens the internet and art in general. Kill this Bill. Kill KOSA. www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Josh Hawley has gotten this misleading bill added to the NDAA so call your Senators and make sure they know why it is so dangerous. As a survivor of CSAM, I am sick of my childhood trauma and subsequent decades of shame and fear being weaponized by the right to weaken protections for all of us.

The Nexus of Privacy@thenexusofprivacy.net · 4w ago

Aha, @fightforthefuture.org also has an action on STOP CSAM and it looks great when shared. The intro can similarly be tweaked to make sure it mentions the NDAA. www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/defe...

There's another effort to break encryption in the US Senate! The STOP CSAM Act was added to the current version of the annual defense spending bill, known as the NDAA. If passed, it could require Internet infrastructure services and online platforms to break encryption to scan all data.

Ireland is working to criminalize possession of pornography it determines is "degrading." The campaign is being bolstered by anti-sex work org SERP, which claims that 65% of all adult titles feature "content of concern."

The Minister for Justice will seek approval to create offences relating to the possession, production or distribution of extreme or violent pornography, and acts of necrophilia

There's a concern here in that it does not appear to distinguish between real-life content or fictional depictions. Is Ireland about to put people in jail if they draw BDSM or something of that sort? #savespeech #censorship
