New call script to reject #KOSA and other 18 online censorship bills and to protect #Section230. (Shorter this time) You can use this if you don’t know any words to form on your own, but please don’t stop calling your lawmakers! #SaveSpeech

It's why when I ask there to be regulations against big media corporations, that those regulations are the lazy and already shown to do more harm than good "Regulate the users" BS that things like KOSA or taking Section 230 would be.

So they saying the KOSA was not to protect children and CSAM is just a choice? And the same people who called to shut down various sites because of the existence of CSAM on certain anonymous boards? But X that has an AI trained to somehow understand how abused child genitalia looks is an exception??

If your reps are cosponsors of KOSA or Take It Down Act, ask them why they're still on Twitter/X despite the grok scandal

The Washington state legislative session starts Monday, so it's a good time to start paying attention to the #waleg hashtag! We're tracking several privacy and tech justice bills, including HR 2112 - age verification legislation, somewhat similar to KOSA - which has a hearing next Friday […]

For this session, we'll take a dive into the rash of online safety bills that have been the talk of the internet lately (i.e. the Kids Online Safety Act [KOSA] and the like) @bklynlibrary.bsky.social Speaker TBA More Info: www.bklynlibrary.org/calendar/cyp...

After spending hours working on imovie and looking for gifs that could enhance my educational videos I can testify that giphy is NOT what it used to be and whatever KOSA shit is coming is gonna make it even worse

Tell your congresspeople/senators/reps that you are very influential in local politics and that they will not be receiving votes from you or your colleagues unless they repeal state-level age verification laws and vote against internet bills like KOSA.

RIP. I was just crying about KOSA and this showed up. I'm scared, I think I need a break. I'm tired. Sign the Bad Internet Bills petition please! I can't because I'm tired and out of energy. www.badinternetbills.com

has anyone made an app yet where you can look up the nearest congressional traitor and harass them? like "Nancy Green ran as a democrat, but voted in favor of internet censorship bill KOSA (3 months ago). She lives 20 miles from your house, here's her personal phone number." I feel like this […]

Remember centrist corporate democrat Gov elect Mikie Sherrill completely ignored NJ trans 🏳️‍⚧️ on her campaign trail. Plus she is pushing hard for KOSA. Let’s not forgot her vote to strip healthcare from trans 🏳️‍⚧️ youth of military during NDAA 2024.

What are your opinions on gay and trans rights? What are your opinions on internet censorship through bills like KOSA?

Do NOT make me pull out my typewriter and start hammering away at it, because i WILL

If fucking kosa gets passed, i will type my goddamn porn out on my 1935 typewriter, make copies, and MAIL IT TO PEOPLE.

Another week to keep calling your Reps and Senators to oppose #KOSA, the #SCREENAct, and other 18 censorship bills and stop the repeal of #Section230!

Sitting Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, co-sponsor of KOSA, could revoke unanimous consent at any time she wants. I am just saying.

Fun fact: The people pushing #KOSA, IODA, Screen, et al are also pushing junk like the Sandbox Act to ban regulating AI - effectively making a carveout for garbage like Grok. They don't care about "decency" or protecting children, not really.

Kelly, this piece is incredibly offensive and misleading. Yes, tech lobbyists echo the concerns that LGBTQ youth and human rights experts have raised about KOSA. But that doesn’t mean those concerns aren’t valid. Big Tech is exploiting LGBTQ youth. You’re silencing them.

LGBTQ youth are quite capable of speaking for themselves, if you’re willing to listen to them rather than dismissing their concerns as big tech lobbying. And they’ve been incredibly articulate about exactly why KOSA is bad policy. Heres just one example www.youthagainstkosa.com

There are dozens of human rights, LGBTQ, racial justice, press freedom and civil liberties organizations that oppose KOSA. You can smear all of us as pawns of big tech, but you’re wrong. You can claim we’re all idiots duped by lobbyists if you want. You’d still be wrong. www.them.us/story/kids-o...

Reasonable people can disagree about complex policy like KOSA. Big Tech is doing real harm and their lobbyists will say and do anything to avoid regulation. That doesn’t make it okay to ignore real concerns or smear queer youth. Please do better.

Also, with respect, your guest acknowledges she is not a policy expert, and then cites Laura Marquez Garret, who is ... not a 1st amendment expert and whose opinions on KOSA are wildly out of step with other legal experts on this issue.

All politicians who isn't pulling every lever they can to screw Twitter over for this in their respective country, puts money over the safety of children. In a world where they trying to shove KOSA in our face, it's very telling.

they also dont know this discourse feeds the Kosa acts and other laws to ban porn 6u9;;; people are free to ignore mods, not install

Claims to support free speech votes for kosa.

going to bed soon so one thing i will say is bills like kosa and so on will continue to come out of the woodwork and have significant traction until there's another proposed solution to the problem of online safety for children in the form of a potential bill that isn't "well it's not a problem"

KOSA would make identity theft so much easier because you could just make a fake website that asks for ID and last four of SSN.

Side Note: I'm on elections stuff right now but DON'T FORGET ABOUT KOSA! We need to take KOSA down. It is a threat to elections, campaigns, free speech and your privacy.

Throughout History, authoritarian regimes have always used "protect the children" to push horrible laws, most of which involve censorship Age verification is no different. You look to the damage that the OSA has done to the UK and it becomes clear Call your reps and senators to stop KOSA

So the "think of the children" crowd will surely march against this man as will everyone pushing KOSA. Right? Any minute now.

Call your fucking representatives and tell them to say no to KOSA, attempts to repeal Section 230, the SCREEN Act, the ASAA, POPA, ID verification laws and digital ID.

Blumenthal sent me a reply to my message telling him to back down on kosa to basically say "hey I got your message and hear you saying you're concerned about what tech companies are doing, that's why I'm sponsoring kosa" cool, thanks, not what I said yes I sent a reply.

Kosa is not your friend! Kosa does not help protect your children from harm! Kosa only makes it worse! It will censor everything the news, the media, and everything! Invading people's privacy! Age, information, identity, and location! Call your rep, email them, message them, send letters! 🆘🆘🆘🆘📱💻📱❗❗❗

Tell your reps! NO to KOSA! NO to Section 230 reform! NO to the SCREEN Act! NO to the App Store Accountability Act! NO to the Parents Over Platforms Act! NO “age verification” laws! NO to digital ID systems! This is very important! Tell everyone about this!

Remember, its not just the republicans who want to age-gate and censor the internet as well as require government ID to see most sites The dems also have been leading the charge Call your reps and tell them to FUCK OFF with KOSA (or use nice words, your call) www.youtube.com/shorts/FGNVD...

probably move the goal post again.... oh look they moved on to fixating on kosa and making a broad philopshical question about "aren't all laws authoritarian?" these people's strategy is to exhaust by never letting you pin them down on one thing.

Please stop sponsoring KOSA if you want your constituents to keep their rights” to free speech online. This would allow for the administration to decide what is “harmful to minors”, they’ll restrict anything they consider “un-American” like abortion and health resources, among other things.

also slap blumenthal in the head and tell him to stop with the kosa bs he's reaching across the aisle to some of the worst assholes there

If you live in the US, tell your representatives to say no to KOSA, ID verification bills and attempts to repeal Section 230.

Also frankly I don’t think the Senate will support the house version of KOSA, and vice versa. The version that passed the Senate that one time got bounced between the House and Senate 3 times over Duty of Care before the House just let it die.

At a certain point I wonder if Schumer’s support for KOSA is why he doesn’t want a shutdown. I doubt it will save either version from the inevitable battle between chambers if it doesn’t happen, nor will it save Sunset 230.

SB 68 and KOSA is the fault of parents being lazy if it has a menu it has parental controls and because parents are lazy stuff like SB 68 are passed because parents don't want to raise their kids SB 68 and KOSA it is highly unconstitutional on several counts.

Protecting children is what they call it when they ban queers from schools, and the entire point of KOSA is to let them ban queers, factual information about sexual anatomy, abortion assistance, and every other topic they want to control access to. If you oppose Project 2025 you HAVE to oppose this.

Can you explain how kosa protects kids?

how does kosa protect kids, quickly now

It's really frustrating that DC news outlets keep framing the debate around KOSA as if it's just "Democrats want more censorship and Republicans want less censorship." Just an egregiously wrong and oversimplified narrative that leaves readers uninformed and drowns out the voices of LGBTQ youth

Oh yea, let's implement stuff like KOSA Chat Control and digital ID and force people to submit more and more of their sensitive info everywhere just to access basIc online infrastructure WHILE making it is easier than ever to anyone to gain malicious access to those data pools What could go wrong?

durbin’s backing 230 repeal and blumenthal’s sponsoring kosa
