there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.
the AI loser who went out of his way to scrape all the art off Cara demonstrates again: AI is fundamentally predicated on theft and the violation of consent
The more I ponder what Mary said here, I think it is VERY important for those who don't like this EVEN IF YOU DON'T STREAM and want to send a message to Amazon on where the Twitch community falls in the genAI discussion to go in their settings and turn this off. The metrics are what speaks to them.

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
The Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...
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!
Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.
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.

if you don't support trans people you aren't human
Transphobes are uniformly trash and we don't need to pretend otherwise. It isn't complicated.
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 get so stuck in my own head and discouraged and overwhelmed before I can even start drawing lately. I desperately miss when I could just draw to make a thing and I didnt care if it was good enough or interesting or just the same thing I’ve already drawn a dozen times over.
This country is so exhausting as if fighting burn out every day wasn’t bad enough on its own. There’s just no support rn.
FUCK THIS COMPANY

The KIDS Act Would Require Age Checks To Get Online

‼️ Bad Internet Bills, disguised as “kids safety” bills, are moving through Congress again ‼️ It's time to get those phones in Congress ringing off the hooks again w/ one simple message: we refuse any bill that age restricts, censors & surveils the Internet. : www.politico.com/live-updates...
