This. People need to realize that OUR job is to protect the children: #protectThechildren #heatWave2026

Oh, look! Another 🥱 groundbreaking proposal to turn the internet into a digital DMV. Because nothing screams innovation like bureaucratic overreach under the guise of "protecting the children." 🚸 Who knew Big Brother had a babysitting service? 🙄

Why have age verification to protect the children when the real solution is simple? Just stop having children.

#protectthechildren #ageverification #Linux #parenting

#AgeVerification and #PornBans make us all less free and less safe. Anyone who genuinely wants to #ProtectTheChildren must oppose this. Speak up if your country is considering similar laws. Support simple and effective user-side moderation tools. Encouraging tech-literacy for parents and the general public, to better understand online risks, will actually protect. Sex-ed that teaches safety and the value of consent will actually decrease assault. Education, not prohibition, is the answer!

9/9

@DM_Zeppelin Certainly we need better options than “send us your PII and we honest promise not to leak, sell, or store it.” Because we know how well THAT goes, and somehow they think we’ll keep buying it when they say it. Or be surprised when data keeps leaking.

@eff has done a great job at explaining, in simple terms that non-techies can understand, why banning VPNs (as Wisconsin, Michigan, and the UK want to do) is a bad thing and won't work anyway.

⚠️ "This is actually happening. And it's going to be a disaster for everyone." ⚠️

Yes, The FTC Wants You To Think The Internet Is The Enemy To The Great American Family

“Family values” - it’s a phrase conservatives and right-wing groups love to throw around, claiming it represents the “greater good” they promise to deliver – if only they could defeat “The Enemy.”

Josh Paul, State Department official, who resigned over weapons to Israel, says a charity told US govt that a 13-year old Palestinian boy was r@ped in an Israeli prison.

State Dept led an inquiry and brought the matter to Israel's attention. Israeli officials closed the charity’s office the next day and declared it "a terrorist entity."

Iowa Republicans voted just before 5 a.m. to roll back child labor laws, letting teens work on packaging lines and serve alcohol...

GOP more than likely thinking right now "how can we profit from infants?" "Maybe we can lower the adult content requirement age?" 🤢

A Waukesha, WI Elementary School BANNED the song "Rainbow Connection" (yes, the Kermit the Frog" classic) as well as the Miley Cyruss/Dolly Parton duet "Rainbowland" from their First Grade Spring Concert. 🤬

WAIT FOR IT: Next, these Right Wing homophobic evolutionary throwbacks will ban "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". 🤦‍♂️

The good old days according to the Republicans

By Ann Telnaes

#Republicans claim that they are banning books and taking away various American freedoms in order to #ProtectTheChildren.

HA!

The only thing the #GOP wants to protect is the hierarchy of White male dominance and corporate profits (which mostly go to already rich White males).
