All 4 bills were voted to advance from committee to seek full approval from the Senate However committee voted 15-13 to advance SCREEN, but the bill did not advance because of a lack of attendance (did not meet quorum) Pls continue to call/ email your senators thehill.com/homenews/601...
KOSA advances Senate panel; age verification bill falls short of meeting quorum

I’ve had a hard time keeping track of all the Awful Things happening in the US lately but unfortunately there are 🟥FOUR🟥 anti-privacy bills up for vote this Wednesday in the senate again, including KOSA. Please take a moment to write or call your senators today.
KEEP BEING ON THEIR NECKS YALL. KEEP BEING RELENTLESS!!! CALL CALL CALL THEM AND TELL THEM WE DO NOT WANT THESE BILLS!!! GOOD JOB TO EVERYONE THAT DID CALL, EMAIL, FAX AND KEPT AT IT. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND DON'T LOOSE YOUR LIGHT!! #KOSA #KidsOnlineSafetyAct #ageverification #freespeech
Updated #KOSA news here! Tldr: -Senate KOSA passed the markup, onto the Senate floor it goes. -The SCREEN Act had majority votes (15-13) BUT it didn't pass due to attendence failure. They want to do a revote on it so THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER. WE DELAYED THE SCREEN ACT. #KidsOnlineSafetyAct
The Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...
We're removing the D-Pad. You get the C-Pad. It's a whole letter grade better. You're welcome.
A fair point, I grant you. But think about it this way - most cities are way harder to learn to navigate than Chicago, we got the grid! But this is the one thing that you do just gotta bucks down and memorize
this drawing might genuinely be my magnum opus
The internet will be a safer place without the SCREEN, KIDS, and KOSA acts. If you value the safety of your privacy even a little bit, you will take the time to call your reps, sign the petitions, and tell them that we don't want any garbage bills that help no one.
#KOSA Please take a short moment to sign and share these around if you haven't already, if you've seen or signed them before, or if you're too nervous about signing them, I highly encourage you just do it and spread the word. We need to come together and fight back. stopkosa.com badinternetbills.com

Stop KOSA
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!

buddy i have never used it. i don't know how to use it. i don't know if it's an app or what. i will never use it. if it disappeared today i'd go out and celebrate because it being gone would be instantly great for the planet and humanity
Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
for those who celebrate: it is the 20th anniversary of a funny dog eat a pepsi.
KOSA sounds like it protects kids. But the actual bill text delivers paperwork protections for platforms, mandates new data collection on minors, and builds surveillance infrastructure and calls it child safety. Parents should stay in control. Not government mandates. You are the firewall.
Parents are the firewall. Not the state. Not Big Tech. Read the full breakdown on our Substack: protectingkidsonline.substack.com/p/senate-com...
Senate Commerce Marks Up KOSA Today: Why This “Kids Safety” Package Is Surveillance, Not Protection
This morning the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee is holding an executive session (markup) on a package of bills sold as “kids online safety.” The agenda includes:

Resist the Panopticon. Tell your Reps you don't consent. Berate them for trying to spy on every second of every day of your life. If you think a VPN will save you, think again. Tell them to trash SCEEN, KOSA, and IODA. www.commerce.senate.gov/about/members/ www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

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.

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.
this is one of my favorite videos ever, but for some reason, EVERY SINGLE TIME, i think he's about to say "remember Battle Toads, and They Might Be Giants?" and i don't even know where the fuck i got that one from
