With the high profile instances of deepfake child 🌽 & predation coming to light over the past couple months, it should be clear that glasses that film children without parental knowledge, that can search the Internet for a child’s face/ info are dangerous! www.wired.com/story/epstei... 🪡🧵

Our ability to see news online about what the many tentacled monster that is U.S. imperialism is doing in Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Palestine & more will be stripped away if lawmakers succeed with passing KOSA. Our Director @evangreer.bsky.social puts this into perspective:

A New York bill would ban AI from answering questions related to several licensed professions like medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, and more. The companies would be liable if the chatbots give “substantive responses” in these areas.

The Indiana House and Senate have both passed a bill to completely eliminate requirements for businesses to document the employment of child workers. If this bill becomes law it would enable employers to hide child labor violations, according to @epi.org.

The House committee will be hearing on a package of 19 internet censorship and surveillance bills like KOSA that will take away our digital freedoms and privacy tomorrow on Thursday, March 5th. Please fill the committee members' phones with your calls of your opposition of these dangerous bills.

Real smart move on Ray Ban's part here, hitching their iconic product to the Sex Pest Hell Technology. This is definitely the kind of thing you want your brand chained to. Ideally your eyewear apparel—especially if it's your only product—is expressly unwelcome in family spaces and courts of law. 😎

BREAKING: James Talarico wins the Democratic Senate primary in Texas. Talarico ran on fighting corruption in DC, and winning back power for working people. In an era of vast inequality Talarico told voters that “billionaires are waging class warfare against the rest of us.”

Here’s the thing about Leon S. Kennedy: buff video game boys that spout one liners are a dime a dozen. But buff video game boys that spout one liners and are meant to cater to women? Who are deliberately lame hunks? Who are allowed to look old but also pretty? That’s special. That’s a gift for us

HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING

Gotta make my piggie. Idk how to furry stuff 😭😭

The US and Israel's invasion of Iran is immoral, unconstitutional, imperialist, and reckless. It's already leading to immense suffering and death. We need the ability to document and speak out about these human rights abuses. And that's why we have to defend online freedom of expression.

Criticizing Israel? forget about it. Why would any social media company take on the risk of getting sued by AIPAC? Sharing info on abortion pills? No way. The anti-abortion movement is litigious af MeToo accusations? Posts about the Epstein Files? Way to risky for companies to be liable for.

How about Section 230? Without it, social media platforms would either give up on moderation entirely (meaning your feed is packed with spam and nonsense and AI generated slop and god knows what else) or they'd aggressively remove any content they worry might get them sued.

Right now, you can relatively easily create a somewhat-anonymous account on platforms like bluesky, reddit, etc. and post information that's critical of the government in relative safety. Forcing everyone to submit to a face scan or associate their government ID with all their posts? nightmare.

Now let's look at online "age verification" or ID check laws. The Trump admin has already been aggressively targeting and harassing people who post critically about ICE and Trump. They've targeted students for writing about Palestine. They've sent subpoenas to social media companies demanding names.

Under a bill like KOSA, platforms would have to use AI to filter out content they think might get them in trouble with the Trump administration. Human rights groups have raised a lot of concern specifically about LGBTQ and abortion content, but anti-war content could absolutely be targeted too.

Let's take KOSA, for example. The Kids Online Safety Act would require platforms to algorithmically suppress content that might cause young people to experience "anxiety" or "depression." Videos and news about my government bombing a school in Iran makes me depressed and anxious... how about kids?

THREAD: Whenever imperialist governments go to war, they become more authoritarian at home. That makes censorship bills like KOSA, ID checks, and attacks on Section 230 even more dangerous. Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed. www.badinternetbills.com

There's something really really REALLY mf hot about baseball players....

I will say, after limiting my twitter usage and getting pounded, I do feel a lot better.

TW: SA Forgot about how SA is so normalized in old yaois 😭 like I knew the book was straight ASS but God damn... Reading through a scene like that made me so uncomfortable and the main MC is acknowledges it but is not.. putting two and two together.

Columbia President with NEW details: 5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant. They said they were police looking for a missing kid. Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid." A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss. They ignored him & took the student.

In case anyone needs to hear this right now. Escapism is OKAY. I know every day lately brings another insane headline, but you HAVE to rest your mind. The human brain wasn't meant to process the overload of information we're used to now. DO NOT feel guilty for protecting your peace. Ever.

Tapping the sign

The US and Israel bomb multiple Iranian cities, including capital Tehran. Iran hits back, launching missiles at Israel.

Dang maybe I do need a good smashing or something. I feel like I'm loosing my grip on reality.

Every day, at least 300 immigrants land at La Lima airport in the northwest region of Honduras after being deported from the US. Many have arrived without their children – having no idea where their kids are or who is taking care of them.

The Department of Homeland Security is flooding social media platforms with subpoenas demanding they unmask the people behind anti-ICE accounts. This crackdown on speech shows EXACTLY why online age verification laws are so dangerous. Here's why: 🧵
