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
Fight for the Future@fightforthefuture.org · 3w agoThe Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...
Increasingly Feral Old Man Thoughts: What if built a mini painting bench with magnifying glasses and made Cap’n Clown Shoe’s All Exploding Circus battalion of Imps and Urbanmechs? Paint the command Imps like the big top canvas and UrbanMechs like clowns.

Potential date set for the Senate to vote on KOSA. Americans, call your senators and tell them that you REJECT KOSA and the KIDS Act. These bills are designed to limit adults' access to legal content they find objectionable. See 🔗 post for details: bsky.app/profile/erom...
Eromancer@eromancer.bsky.social · 2mo agoNew phone script with updated details due to the bill now heading toward the Senate. Thank you @orwellday.bsky.social for making this!
I keep seeing people thinking this is a bluesky problem. If you're seeing this it thinks you're in a state or country with age verification laws. This is what every social media site will do if KOSA and the KIDS Act succeeds. Running to another socmed won't fix it, we have to fight the source.
Dredgen Sale 🔜 Maybe? PAX West 🟪⬜️⬛️@destinythememe.bsky.social · 2mo agoWell i dont know how long this login session is gonna last but @bsky.app just asked me to do an age verification with personal information.

Fight Chat Control@fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 2mo agoIn less than 12 hours, the European Parliament holds the final vote on reinstating Chat Control 1.0. A simple majority is no longer enough to reject it. Contact your MEPs NOW and demand they protect your right to privacy via fightchatcontrol.eu
When you call about this, remember that this IS the place to bring up Musk's personal child porn generator, AI's mass theft of credentials, etc etc. This solves none of those problems, and indeed only makes them 10x worse. Let them know that absolutely no one believes this is genuine
Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe 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.
Did you know that you can brighten up a small channel's day that maybe has been feeling a bit lost in the crowd with just a 2-second click of that repost icon at the bottom of this post?

Just used this to contact my congressman to vote no on kids act, had automatic script, didn't require talking on phone and took less than the time than it took making this post
Orloft!@egglaying.pro · 2mo agoact.eff.org/action/tell-... Direct link to contact your representative through EFF, it's fast, easy, and doesn't require a phone call
this is literally the fastest "write your representative" prompt ive seen, please share your thoughts
Eromancer@eromancer.bsky.social · 2mo agoWe have a little over 24 hours to save the internet. The vote for a package of internet-freedom destroying bills is being rushed to the US House floor on Monday the 29th. Spread this beyond Bluesky, ASAP. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...
Before any of you all go "BuT tHiS wOn'T aFfEcT mE", yes if will. It will affect EVERYONE. Not jusy here on bluesky, on EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. You would have to give up your fucking ID info just to use ANYTHING on the internet. It's mass surveillance. theintercept.com/2026/06/28/a...
Online Age Verification Law Could Kill Whistleblowing
The KIDS Act, ostensibly aimed at protecting children, will raise the risk for journalists, dissidents, and whistleblowers.

Please follow the instructions to contact your representative and tell them to vote NO on the KIDS Act. The US House will vote on it at 6:30 PM on Monday. There is no time to waste. The free internet is at stake. See replies for how to look up your representative.
Frankly, this is a five-alarm fire type of bill. This bill will destroy free speech online and surrender our rights to Trump on a silver platter. Reps have left DC for the week, but their offices should be open for another ~20 minutes. Call today if you can and/or first thing Monday morning.
Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet. So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet. You aren’t mad enough.

I recently dug up an unused recording of alternate lyrics for the Best Friend's Squad theme song from Teen Girl Squad #9! So I decided to see how that woulda gone for the gals. Good ol' Rich Trott @palacefamilysteakhouse.com on musiculated accompaniments!
She shuffled through the remaining papers and frowned. "Don't you think it's weird," she said, "that they added an addendum insisting we include a transforming cyborg bug-themed Japanese superhero with a motorcycle to the contract?" He shrugged. "Not really. It's a common rider."
Look at dis and contact ya reps about how bad this is if it helps Kosa passing would mean almost every site online especially social media and YouTube or such will need ID verification and it won't be optional x.com/i/status/206...
