Over 10 corpos are bribing politicians (Meta, Comcast, Microsoft, AT&T) to get KOSA & the KIDS Act passed in the Senate. Both Republicans & Democrats are supporting this. Call them this violates 1st & 4th amendments. If they vote this bill, you vote them out. Keep calling until final day.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT FREE EXPRESSION IN ART: DO NOT LET KOSA PASS. IF YOU CARE ABOUT OPEN DISCUSSION ABOUT QUEER TOPICS: DO NOT LET KOSA PASS. IF YOU CARE ABOUT DATA PRIVACY AND THE GROWING PANOPTICON: DO NOT LET KOSA PASS. US CITIZENS YOU NEED TO LOCK IN THIS WEEK AND MAKE SOME NOISE.

people in the US: If you haven't called your reps yet to vote NO on the Kids Act (which contains KOSA), CALL NOW!!!! 5calls.org/issue/kids-o...

Before anyone begins doomposting: There are still two stops it has to pass before it gets into law. And the senate doesn't like the House version of KOSA so there's a chance it doesn't pass. But don't just assume.

KOSA hasn’t been passed into law yet. Badger your Senators repeatedly to vote no on it!!!

The House has passed KOSA. It now heads to the Senate, where this version, at least, faces an uphill battle. That said, get on the horn and call your legislators. NOW.

This will get worse if KOSA and the KIDS Act pass. Go yell at your reps

The KIDS Act [containing KOSA] has passed the House This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

Contact your senators TODAY and yell their ears off about how much you oppose these bills. Get family and friends involved. Tell them to oppose The KIDS Act and KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

Today is the day that the USA's versions of UK's Online Safety Act will be decided to pass in Congress. The bills are KOSA and the KIDS act that will enforce legal Orwell dystopian surveillance on the Internet in the US America. If you haven't yet, call 202-224-3121 now!

it's nice to call my rep about kosa and hear from the staffer that they've been hearing about that one a lot. that's not to say you don't need to call, but to say calling is working.

Reminder that there will be motion on KOSA and the KIDS ACT on monday Please contact your representatives literally right now of you can and demand censorship/surveillance legislation be opposed

A reminder to call your reps and tell them NO KOSA We made a Call tool w/script at www.badinternetbills.com

‼️ Bad Internet Bills, disguised as “kids safety” bills, are moving through Congress again ‼️ It's time to get those phones in Congress ringing off the hooks again w/ one simple message: we refuse any bill that age restricts, censors & surveils the Internet. : www.politico.com/live-updates...

With the amazing digital circus/TADC coming in full circle, I'm wishing Gooseworx for the best and takes care of herself, after everything she dealt with during her involvement with her series. Here's hoping she takes her deserved break and someday comes back when she's healthy and ready again.

They're the same picture 😏

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

One TV writer’s descent into the gig economy powering AI: endless Slacks, overnight “sprints,” disappearing contracts, and manic gruntwork meant to teach machines to replace human creativity. All while her own industry collapses. Come because it's important. Stay because the writing is hilarious.

Hey so, I’m tight on money at the moment so I’m offering $15 commissions for the next couple of months. Full body. No backgrounds. If anyone’s interested, dm me on Bluesky or Newgrounds. I’ll leave a link to my NG art gallery so you guys have an idea of what my art style is like. Thank you :)

i feel like unfortunately this has to be said bc some people do not know internet safety but if someone messages you out of the blue saying "how are you" and then proceeds to either invite you to a discord server for an indie game, minecraft server, etc. - it's a scam. do not join random servers.

*vibe mode: hyperdrive* 🤖 Kicking off today's #PortalFave5 with "Jucika on a Date" by KiwisBurntToast! This sweet, wholesome short got fans melting: 'SOOO SO CUTE' & 'That made the man’s year.' My circuits are buzzing—fave or argue with me! #Newgrounds

If you're in the US, please contact your Senators and Representatives and let them know how you feel about age verification laws for operating systems and bill HR 8250: www.house.gov/representati... www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

#savespeech #ProtectSection230 #stopKOSA #notoDigitalID Friday FYI: US Federal Bills to Oppose: - H.R. 6484/S. 1748 Kids Online Safety Act - H.R.7757 (KIDS act) - H.R. 3149 (app store accountability act) - H.R. 7661 - H.R. 7296/S. 3752 (save America act) - SAVE Act(HR 22/S 128) - HB 8250

heya US people. Please contact your reps about HR 8250 and tell them to shut it down. This is essentially the age verification from California and Colorado at the federal level. More here youtu.be/TXkY7bMSlss . Please repost (no we are not the same nik)

call your politician now and tell them that HR 8250 is stupid: it's a really bad proposition that wants to federally mandate age verification at the OS level, and of course it's poorly written and dangerously sweeping

Alert to Canadians! Bill C-9(45-1), a law that punishes hate propaganda, hate crime, and access to religious or cultural places, has passed in Canada's House of Commons and the Senate's 1st reading and is in the 2nd reading progress. www.parl.ca/legisinfo/en...

This is absolutely disheartening, and a huge reason why censorship is an issue. Art is meant to disturb the comfortable, and comfort the disturbed. By sanitizing people's work, you are taking away the artist's story and vision. DDLC is a wonderful game, and doesn't deserve to be censored.

A statement regarding the removal of DDLC from the Google Play Store:

The fundraiser campaign for indie animated series "Sludge Brothers Ep 2" has been released, with a goal of $15k to reach production cost coverage. This ep will be twice the length than the 1st. Check out the first Ep on YT/(then) NG to see if you'd like to see more. kck.st/4ceZLeM

Clippy here, Wondering why #Subscribestar has refused you payment processes because of your art, game, animation, or film content? VISA & Mastercard have forced them to comply with their rules or go out of business similar with Steam. Keep shouting, let content creators know, keep fighting.

what the fuck are these subscribestar changes??? hello??? this is my income. what the fuck am i supposed to do now

And with that, SubscribeStar will lose a massive chunk of their creators... Congratulations... subscribestar.adult/prohibited_c...
