I will NEVER forgive this fucker and any of these people if they succeed in getting rid of #Section230, a law that makes the internet a safe haven to the people of my community, the LGBTQ+ community, especially if they live in toxic, unaccepting environments where they'll never find acceptance.

Please share!! I stayed up until 2am to get this out in under 24 hours 😭

Here's a longer piece about Joseph Gordon-Levitt's bizarre support of 230 repeal. We're collecting comments on a letter to him here: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/jose...

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is supporting a bill that'd censor the Internet—a bill supported by fascists and anti-LGBTQ+ hatemongers. In this political climate, there's literally no excuse for promoting Section 230 repeal. Sign our letter:

HERE YOU GO EVERYONE! 💓 www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/jose...

Flock ALPR's are eroding our civil liberties. But many cities are fighting back. We're joining @eff.org and the Digital Defense Fund to talk legal implications of Flock's data and campaigns that have successfully blocked Flock contracts. Join us next week! www.eff.org/event/effect...

I'm sure this will be a gift for stalkers and domestic abusers.

Good. Next let's make Flock Founder & CEO Garrett Langley broke, shall we? 😈 www.theverge.com/news/878447/...

The mainstream media is now reporting what many of us have been saying for years: facial recognition tech and surveillance tech is being used to fuel violence against vulnerable people and intimidate dissenters. 🪡🧵... www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...

we're organizing an open letter to joseph gordon-levitt, urging him to reverse his stance on Section 230 and publicly cut ties with NCOSE (morality in media) and similar groups. like or reskeet if you'd wanna sign

Let this be a reminder that, no, you cannot trust any corporation with your biometric data, this will be the end result of that. Keep on fighting, be it discord or ID laws, do not let up.

If you’re a journalist or community organizer and haven’t shifted away from Google yet, this is a good reminder that it’s probably a good time to start! Set up that Proton mail account, explore Crypt Pad or Outline for docs. Take 1 small step towards privacy today techcrunch.com/2026/02/10/g...

No

KOSA is a smokescreen. It gives the FTC chair, who has made clear that he views transgender healthcare and LGBTQ content as threats to children, discretion on what content counts as harmful.

Not to fear-monger but authoritarians are not just targeting journalists- they’re targeting dissenters and truth tellers. You should be prepared and know how to lock down your phone folks! Steps are similar for Android phones 9.0 +

TOMORROW: Our news feeds are saturated with all the awful details about Palantir's technology and how it's fueling deportations so we're sharing this training opportunity that is focusing on this issue with a collective resistance framework: actionnetwork.org/events/solid...

Hundreds of thousands of audit logs spanning a month show police are assisting ICE with national database searches of automated license plate reader data, including from school cameras, using Flock. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

How about this email to an officer from a Ring employee which really does says it all: The police officer had "10 uses of the discount code" and was now eligible for free reward "for all your hard work" selling devices for a private company.

okay, but it's not the platforms that lose in the push for mandatory age verification, it's human rights and free expression that loses

These age verification initiatives is a privacy nightmare. Terrible policies hastily put out without a second thought to wider implications is endangering safety while offering no real protection in the way it is intended. This will drive people deeper into the darker pits of the net.

“No matter how Ring and other surveillance tech companies may downplay it, there’s no world in which finding lost dogs is the final end-use for this technology.”

THE FIRST EPISODE OF MY SECTION 230 MINI SERIES IS HERE!!!!! Learn about what the law does, what it actually says, how it works, and who it REALLY protects

“Democrats in Congress can’t claim they’re standing against ICE abuses if they’re calling for more ICE-controlled cameras, which will inevitably be hooked into ICE’s facial recognition and other surveillance tools.”- @evangreer.bsky.social to @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

‼️Keep calling your reps and demand they defund ICE surveillance tech ‼️:” fftf.link/ICEFunding

Joseph Gordon-Levitt went to the Senate claiming to "hold big tech accountable" while promoting The Heritage Foundation's tech policy agenda and boosting groups like Morality in Media (aka NCOSE), which has sought to criminalize LGBTQ sex, w board members that support conversion therapy

#Section230 is why our internet is open to LGBTQ+ youths who are surviving abusive homes. Shame on those who call its repeal "accountability" when it's actually about silencing marginalized voices. Without it, platforms would drown in frivolous lawsuits designed to erase queer existence.

Less than 6 months ago @discord.com had a data breach exposing ID’s of 70,000 + of its users but …apparently hasn’t learned anything? ID checks don’t make the internet safer, they make us all more vulnerable. www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...

That Ring ad

Ok, you can stop texting me, I saw the Ring ad. Troubling things about it 🧵: -The long awaited (much warned about) intro of “AI” recognition. It starts w/ searching for a “brown dog” but means the tech is there for lisence plate reading, face recognition, searching for suspects by description, etc

When I wrote Section 230 I did so knowing it would be critical for protecting free speech online. 30 years later and it’s one of the last things standing in the way of Republican censorship of the internet. Here’s to many more years of defending this vital safeguard of free speech.

We’re now entering the 30th anniversary of Section 230 and there’s a bipartisan effort to repeal it- which will mean free speech no more for the internet. We’ll be getting into it this week- for now, get those phones ready to fire up and call your reps: www.whatissection230.org

What a useful resource for organizing.

Worth noting that a lot of this surveillance infrastructure was funded and promoted by Democrats who framed it as a more humane alternative to Trump’s “wall” The evidence suggests the “surveillance wall” actually lead to more deaths in the desert

You missed the connection between ICE identifying and prosecuting activists and their wearing of body cams. As @fightforthefuture.org pointed out, that requiring every ICE agent to wear a body cam gives them more opp to ID protesters And, the protesters are now doing the job of taping ICE activity

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS. Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Many organizing in this moment see how tech is fueling ICE violence, surveillance & displacement. This Spring our friends at @mediajustice.bsky.social & @conmijente.bsky.social are gathering with folks that are fighting to #TakeBackTech for liberation. We'll see you there! www.takebacktech.com

It would be vile and invasive even if it were, which is what a lot of us have been yelling about for decades.

"Facial recognition creates a broad, warrantless hoard of surveillance data that can instantly be weaponized for intimidation and oppression. It has no place in a free society and we will continue to fight to see it banned in every arena..."

ID checking for online services has been the dogwhistle for internet censorship for longer THAN I HAVE BEEN ALIVE

Really good illustration about why all these "online ID verification" bills that tech companies are pushing are NOT about improving child safety and are ENTIRELY something else. Don't fall for them and don't let your elected Reps either.

Tell me when banning something has worked. Age verification laws DONT WORK. If you want kids to be safe- support their parents with the ability to PARENT- help them provide safety and mental health. Help them provide activities and education. Help empower parents to PARENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE.

ICYMI: DHS has been funded with a short term bill lasting only two weeks while lawmakers negotiate ‘safeguards' to reign in ICE. You all made over 1500 calls last week with our tool & we need to keep the pressure on Dems not settle for weak reforms. ⬇️

The problem that many adults do not seem to realize about "age verification" is that everyone who is not a teen will have to provide ID (and personal data) to prove it. It's not about protecting kids, it's to control everyone.

This should be front page news. There should be hearings about it.

Don’t believe the claims about ‘kids safety’ behind the push for Online ID checks. They are and always have been about surveillance and censorship. @cassiewillson.bsky.social is spot on in this video

People shouldn’t need to be martyred for documenting ICE activities and protecting their communities. Defund ICE until we can abolish ICE.

NEW: Fight for the Future endorses @markey.senate.gov's ICE Out of Our Faces Act, a bill to ban ICE from using facial recognition tech & force them to delete all our face data. www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-02...
