CW: CW: Uspol, Call to Action
Listen, everyone in the US.
Tomorrow, the Senate is going to make a decision on whether to pass KOSA or not, and we need to come together to tell the senate the vote NO on this bad internet bill.
This bill aims to suppress info on abortion, sex ed, and other things the conservative-run FTC deem to be "harmful to minors".
Not only that, but if you run an NSFW thing, there will be mandatory Age-Verification implemented and VPN detection. This is privacy-invasive and dystopian.
Call or email your reps and tell them to vote NO on KOSA. It was never about the kids. It was all about control and mass surveillance.

@mike @pfefferle @evan @mellifluousbox What are Flipboard, Wordpress, Social Web Foundation, and Mastodon doing to oppose bad internet bills like KOSA and the SCREEN Act?
If bad bills like these pass, they're likely to affect every US-based fedi instance -- and not in a good way. So now's the time to push back!

🚨 The STOP CSAM Act has been attached to the NDAA 🚨
Shenanigans! The NDAA is a "must-pass" bill, so this is an attempt to sneak STOP CSAM through without a vote on it.
Still, it's far from over; Senate Democrats blocked this version of the NDAA for other reasons, so there may still be a chance to strip things out. And, once the Senate passes something, there will be cross-chamber negotiations.
EFF's Oppose STOP CSAM: Protecting Kids Shouldn’t Mean Breaking the Tools That Keep Us Safe and The Internet Society's STOP CSAM Act Threatens Everyone’s Online Safety and Security have more on the problems with this bill.
EFF has an action on the STOP CSAM Act from 2025 that's still very relevant, it just needs some minor tweaking. It doesn't mention the NDAA, so I just changed the first paragraph to
"As your constituent, I urge you to oppose the attachment of the STOP CSAM Act, (S.1829.) to the NDAA."

Fighting bad internet bills across the world (4/N)
If you're in the US,
Contact your Senators and tell them to say NO to bad interenet bills that surveil and censor the net. How?
@fight's https://badinternetbills.com, makes it easy to contact Congress.
Or you can just contact your legislators offices directly via the US Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3124, calling their offices directly, or using their web contact form. It doesn't have to be fancy, just make sure it includes a specific ask like "Please vote NO on KOSA, the KIDS Act, and other bad internet bills that would censor and surveill the net" -- although if you want go into more detail on why these bills are harmful to you and their other constituents, that's even better.
For updates and new actions, @fight and @eff are great accounts to follow. And I also post about this kind of stuff frequently!

⚠️ Here's info that paints the urgency around the internet bills.
There is a minimum of 36 hours between passing from subcommittee to when it can be voted on in committee. It sounds like they are trying to slam it through.

RE: https://mastodon.neat.computer/@privacyguides/115727078744271749
I say this about every Privacy Guides video, because it is repeatedly true, but this video is our best one yet 🤩 https://youtu.be/q0hE4EM7RRo
And this is an absolutely critical watch if you're in the U.S.A., or at least contact your reps via https://www.badinternetbills.com/ if you don't watch. The bills being proposed (largely by Democrats, they are not fighting for you!) will have a devastating global impact on free speech and privacy online.

Last week in the United States of America, Congress began fast-tracking nearly 20 bills in a massive effort to enact massive censorship on the internet, decimate your ability to use computers privately, and severely restrict free speech online.

#badinternetbills alert: USA Edition
Ends anonymity online. Ends encryption. Increases government surveillance.These bills passed initial committee and move to full committee. It's #ChatControl and #AgeGatedInternet for the US, ending encryption for gov or corp surveillance on ALL messaging and also require ID for most things. They hope we are too distracted.

CW: KOSA / Age verification / Bad Internet Bills update
As expected, the House subcommittee voted today to advance #KOSA and the other bills in the package (including the App Store Accountability Act, the SCREEN Act, and COPPA 2.0). Somewhat surprisingly, though, they had voice votes on KOSA and COPPA -- and all the Democrats voted against them. So there certainly isn't a bipartisan consensus!
To be clear, a lot of the D's voted against KOSA for a not-so-good reason: the House version removes the unconstitutional "duty of care" from the Senate version, and Rep. Kim Schreier (D-WA) and another D on the committee spoke passionately about the need to restore it. No! Please don't do that! LBGTQIA2S+,, reproductive justice, civil rights, and digital rights organizations have long opposed KOSA's duty of care because it would give Trump's FTC the power to sue apps and websites that don’t take measures to “prevent and mitigate” various harms to minors that are vague enough to chill a significant amount of protected speech.
Still, no matter what the reasons are, it's very good that the D's voted against it -- it highlights that there isn't consensus. And as some of the speakers on the live stream @fight hosted during the markup highlighted, some of the D's may well have been against it for some of the right reasons too.
So thanks to everybody who took action! As Fight highlighted, the wave of literally thousands of calls this week got noticed, so your activism really does make a difference!
(Here's the recording of the livestream -- it's a really excellent discussion, with a ton of insights on the political process in general as well as the specific bills.)
