Pick up the phones and call! It's pretty simple to do, and there will be consequences if we don't! #SaveSpeech #StopKOSA #protect230

Very important thread on keeping the internet free in the US. #savespeech

Please keep contacting your representatives and demand they oppose repealing sec230, and oppose internet censorship/surveillance bills Get friends and family involved, february is when they are going to make a major push

Another bill aimed at repealing section 230 has been introduced, this time in the senate Please continue to advocate for protecting Sec 230 to your reps. We dont know how much support these bills will get yet, but they are obviously trying to push this issue www.govtrack.us/congress/bil...

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230. No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech. We can't let this happen. Share & take action www.badinternetbills.com

Heads up: 'Sunset To Reform Section 230 Act'(H.R. 6746) has been introduced in the house. its sole goal is to repeal section 230 Its only introduced, so we dont yet know how actually threatening it is, but keep this in mind and advocate for sec 230 to your reps www.govtrack.us/congress/bil...

I really want to emphasize that this is a winnable fight, but everyone has to chip in in order to do so! Please dont sit it out expecting others to stand in your place! And dont ignore local/state level stuff! As these state laws get overturned, the narrative behind the Fed ones lose steam!

#SaveSpeech Netchoice won their legal battle against Age verification in louisiana! This follows similar rulings in AK and OH! This is huge! These laws can be stopped, they can be overturned. Do not give in to dooming! Keep calling your reps and support orgs that fight these laws in court!

Its really important imo for citizens to push back when some senator starts mouthing off about how section 230 needs repealing, or other blatantly bad ideas But its also good to have perspective re: the actual chances of a particular gambit going through!

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them

You need to contact your representative and demand that Section 230 be protected, not repealed, NOW. www.congress.gov/members/find...

#savespeech #stopKOSA A couple things to mame clear: - This is for THURSDAY, not TODAY. I apologize. - This is a SUBCOMMITTEE MARKUP, it is NOT a final vote. - Urgency is key, but patience and focus is NEEDED. DO NOT lose your head over this. Call, but be calm.

#savespeech #stopKOSA ATTENTION! The House of Energy and Commerce has pushed a package of(now 18) "child safety" bills to a subcommittee markup. This means the bills will be likely voted on to go to a FULL committee markup, which sends it out to the House. Call the Committee. Tell them to vote NO

please keep calling your representatives and demanding they oppose censorship/surveillance/Age-verification legislation. please continue to call Paypros and demand they stop discriminating against adult content, its creators, and sex workers please

Like all of you, as a queer NSFW writer I am so SICK of having to worry every single damn day about boomers and septuagenarians in Congress writing laws about things they do not understand, weaponizing "protect the children" to erase our safe haven like AO3 and watch us suffer! #stopkosa #savespeech

tapping the sign

Trilogue Chat Control negotiations are set to start next week, December 9th, with the goal of being finished before April 2026. Only 4 countries are opposed to the revised Chat Control (Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Czech Republic) so please contact your reps: fightchatcontrol.eu

#savespeech #fightchatcontrol #DONOTCOMPLY European Citizens! The Trilogue for Chat Control is happening December 9th. Unfortunately, its supporters seem keen on pushing it "because trust us." Thankfully, skepticism is strong. CALL YOUR MEPs. @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social x.com/mullvadnet/s...

If they think our concerns over free speech is a "farce", that'd make the people pushing these bills un-American, don't you think? #stopageverification #stoponlineidchecks Sign: www.stoponlineidchecks.org Find and call your rep: www.congress.gov/members/find...

I think when you're calling your representatives and/or the Committee majority number, you should be demanding that these bills go through more meetings they need maximum scrutiny and should not be pushed through as fast as possible

while its scary that US politicians are trying to fast track so bogus "child online safety" bills at once, I think their behavior belies the fact that they are aware this is a fight they can lose but we have to fight them. get friends and family involved.

You should call your representatives TODAY about the House Committee meeting mention the meeting, mention that you do not think the "child safety" bills in this package are actually addressing child safety. These bills are a trojan horse even in the best of times LET ALONE under this administration

We are actually doing something. DON'T STOP CALLING.

If you live in the EU, please call your MEPs and tell them that any and all AV laws are bad, as they will hurt both children and adults alike!

Chat Control is back, but slightly changed: ❌ No backdoor of encryption ❌ No forced scanning 🚨 But: Age verification (no anonymity) The update just quietly passed in the EU Council & now needs to be discussed with the EU Parliament. Will you keep fighting against #ChatControl?

Update: Council has already agreed to this, I've heard. Onto the next step then, the parliament MEPs are who we gotta call about it fightchatcontrol.eu

It's highly critical we talk about bills like these. Bluesky dies if section 230 dies, basically. And so do many, many other sites. #savespeech

#SaveSpeech The European Council has agreed on a version of Chat Control that it wishes to push forward in 2026. This version contains "voluntary" mass scanning, mandatory universal age checks, and isolating minors from apps. Chat Control still needs to be fought. CALL YOUR MPs/MEPs!

#savespeech #stopKOSA #DOYOURJOBPARENTS Hey guys. Remember, this bill will block ALL VPN traffic or outright BAN VPNs, push age verification on websites, and has passed both committees. Call your Wisconsin reps. docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2025/legisla... docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2025/legisla...

wrbiradio.com/houchin-laun... Here we have it. Puritains have formed a "Safety Caucus" to promote KOSA and similar "protect the kids" laws. Call your reps. Tell them that any bill they try to pass WON'T protect kids online: www.congress.gov/members/find... #savespeech #stopKOSA #DOYOURJOBPARENTS

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices. If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

#fightchatcontrol #savespeech #DONOTCOMPLY EUROPEANS! So while the mandatory message scanning was axed, EU's Chat Control 2.0 is still up for a vote, with the council certifying its stance on Chat Control TODAY before moving onto the Trilogue. Consider calling your MEPs NOW fightchatcontrol.eu

Good but not over yet, because it will never be over. Remember that not once in the history of anything anywhere, has government surveillance ever been implemented for the benefit of the people. Never. Ever. Everest. Not once. Ever.

Basically, they're trying to pull another Prohibition on us, but on a larger/stupider level. These age verification and internet "safety bills" won't protect kids. They'll only shred our free speech and privacy, pushing users into dangerous territories. #SaveSpeech www.cnet.com/tech/service...

#savespeech #ProtectPrivacy #DONOTCOMPLY Switzerland is joining in on the facist dystopia of "you will have no privacy or freedom and children will be safe in our care." If you hate this, contact your MPs in Switzerland. Tell them to vote NO on this change! www.parlament.ch/en/organe/ad...

#savespeech #DONOTCOMPLY #PrivacyisaHumanRight HEY WISCONSIN. CALL YOUR REPS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE! The age verification bill, Wisconsin AB 105 / SB 130, which requires blocking VPN traffick, passed both committees. CALL YOUR REPS NOW! action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/wiscons...

#fightchatcontrol #savespeech #DONOTCOMPLY EU CITIZENS! ALONGSIDE CHAT CONTROL 2.0, A DRAFT WAS LEAKED THAT WOULD SEVERELY DAMAGE THE GDRP. If you want your privacy rights and rights against AI to remain intact, CALL YOUR MEPS! youtu.be/VR53pppurTU www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/sear...

RE: https://digitalcourage.social/@echo_pbreyer/115552704979606876 Looks like we’re safe for now, but the fight continues 💪 EU citizens: your voice matters, don’t let up!

Some good news re: Chat Control! Continue contacting your MEPs to let them know how you want them to vote, but this is yet another big blow to chat control!

I'm getting tired of repeating myself, but it's the bare minimum we can do atm, just call again , be annoying, pressure your rappresentatives If this passes is basically the end for free speech here on the internet

#savespeech #DONOTCOMPLY #NotoForcedAgeVerification So it happened. Twitch just forced age verification on UK viewers and vtubers alike, and its FACIAL verification too. I'm done being subtle. Every adult at the least needs to try and spoof this. Its not right. fixupx.com/Kliffoth_VT/...

#SaveSpeech if you are in the EU you should be FURIOUS with your leaders for pushing this through in such an undemocratic manner. continue to raise your voices and contact your representatives. demand that Chat Control be put down for good.
