Needing some help. My wife was admitted to the hospital for a stomach condition; my ability to work is scanty but need to raise some funds before our car gets repossessed (8/7) and our internet canceled (8/10); if anyone has anything to spare it would be most helpful 💙 ___ ko-fi.com/riendonut/go...

This is a good thread (and replies) on a rough timeline of how these things may play out from here, which I recommend reading to reduce some of the stress surrounding the constant presence of these bills Your efforts ARE making a difference, take a breath, stay focused, and keep at it

SCREEN failed to pass out of committee, despite a 15-13 vote (in favor). Not enough members voting, but looks like a party line vote. Good work everyone! Keep up the pressure for after recess and beyond!

For real. I don't WANT to constantly share this shit. I would LOVE to just share the most majestic of massive milkers. But this shit would make that impossible so we gotta yap about it. Every. Single. TIME. Until they get the fucking hint and fuck off.

None of us -want- to clog your timelines with this shit. I fucking HATE interrupting dumb horny boob posts with calls to action but like If action isnt taken the boobs will stop entirely like we -cant- ignore this shit, this isnt FUN

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.

‼️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

Together, these bills would allow Trump’s FTC to wipe abortion, sex ed, & LGBTQ resources off the Internet while instating nationwide age verification requirements. This could mean scanning your face or sending in your government ID just to post on Bluesky! ❌ Take action: fftf.link/bib

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/

It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

More than 80% of kids still using social media despite ban, new eSafety report finds

The report provides more evidence Australia’s world-leading social media ban isn’t going to plan.

The S in KOSA is for surveillance

Anthony Moser@anthonymoser.com · 4d ago

By all means. I would add that we know it's a surveillance bill bc it's supported by surveillance companies. OpenAI makes software that encourages kids to harm themselves, X runs a CSAM generator. They are not motivated by kids safety, they just want more data on everyone

And most of all, please keep supporting creators on the platforms they're on or want you to go to. Even if it's a few extra clicks or some extra setup. We all fear making our members work a little more because it translates to a huge loss of income. We appreciate you so much when you stick by us.

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

Sam Cole@samleecole.bsky.social · 5d ago

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

Have you noticed an uptick in pornographic ads on all the platforms that are stifling indie creators because I have

"what can I do?" Call your reps and tell them to vote no on the Online Safety bill package because things will get worse the more censorship laws are allowed to pass. Tell your reps that payment processors must allow legal content. Go yell at youtube for their shitty TOS.

Please use this link twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... and tell twitch how fucking insane this is. Comment and let twitch know that this is horrible. Thank you

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers

The firestorm of age-verification laws have done almost nothing to prevent minors from accessing porn online. What they have done is give the state a powerful tool to harass speech they don't like by declaring it pornographic or "harmful to minors."

That thing about them using the internet laws to determine whatever they want as "pornography" and then declaring it illegal took literally days to happen.

"Our Governor just signed legislation that protects children from accessing adult material online. This event mocks the very protections so many have fought for by exposing preschoolers to adult material that is not only inappropriate, but far beyond their level of cognitive development."

Hey.... like we said, age verification laws would be used as excuse to attack queer content, I just didn't expect it to be used this way, but hey more evidence for why you should be against it.

The Missouri Attorney General is threatening librarians with arrest over an LGBTQ+ story hour for kids, suggesting that a picture book about gay dinosaur dads is "pornography." The Secretary of State says he'll pull funding if the event happens, citing the state's new age verification law.
