'Age-Appropriate Materials Act' So all of the copies of the bible have been removed from the libraries right? Its got incest, a knocked up 12 yr old married to a 30 yr old who was cucked by the holy spirit, whole bunch of murders, god sending bears to murder children who mocked a bald man...

Congress is moving quickly on the revised GUARD Act. The bill still requires intrusive age-verification and has massive penalties under vague standards. Tell Congress to oppose it: act.eff.org/action/tell...

Solid reporting on why "age verification and age assurance" are just fancy ways of saying "online identity checks" and why lawmakers have much better ways to address online harm if they'd just listen to experts and impacted communities www.governing.com/policy/state...

My question: If the protest marches are stopped (which seems likely), under what circumstances would they ever be allowed again? Protests may need to be stopped in some cases, PM suggests www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If the blockade in effect and is using US armed forces, the War is still on. Nonstop. The GOP has capitulated to a DICTATORSHIP and completely abandoned their responsibility to govern as a democracy. The WHOLE WORLD SEES THIS. NOBODY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IS BUYING THIS BULLSHIT. NOBODY.

Este é um dos livros que mais esperei no ano. Pirei no anterior do @wdavidmarx.bsky.social , "Status and Culture". Neste, logo nas primeiras páginas, já toca em como a comercialização de tudo, acelerada pelo neoliberalismo, congelou a ideia cultural de vergonha. Se é malfeito mas vende, é sucesso.

Reminder that the only time Mastercard has flinched is when outrage was directed at them. Attacking platforms like SubscribeStar for Visa/Mastercard's extralegal censorship is exactly the deflection they want.

I’m fucking crying dude. Asking “pretty please do not introduce a security vulnerability”.

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

A satisfying thing about this platform is that traditional media manipulators and manipulation doesn't work here. Genuine posting does well but those who have made careers out of manipulative punditry and rage bait really struggle, people just don't care for that shit at all. Their crashouts rule.

This Trans Day of Visibility I am wondering why progressive groups like @techoversight.bsky.social & @fairplayforkids.bsky.social continue to work with anti-LGBTQ hate groups to advance legislation like KOSA that would get trans people killed. I'm asking you directly: please listen to trans youth.

#savespeech #fightchatcontrol Somehow they have forced a revote on Chat Control mass scanning. Blow up your MPs phones NOW. NO MEANS NO. @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social

🇪🇺They’ve forced a re-vote: tomorrow at 11:00 the European Parliament votes again on #chatcontrol mass scanning. Socialists and Liberals are divided, ECR now with EPP — and a quick phone call can still change minds! Last chance to call and ask: 👉 https://fightchatcontrol.eu

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

#savespeech #notodigitalID #NOTOOSAGEVERIFICATION As of now, brazil's new age verification bill is in full effect. A violation of privacy & on top of that: GTA 6 will be banned too. Brazilians, get mad and call your reps. Protest too: - data.ipu.org/parliament/B... - data.ipu.org/parliament/B...

This could be us but you're praying

So there is this assholish new law in Brazil forcing (under a high fine) age verification in every platform they can think of. I don't know if bluesky, FA, patreon or discord will be affected. But if something goes off with my online activity, that will be why. (Please REPOST this is IMPORTANT)

FCC Chair, Are You Serious? #PolitiZoom

It’s KOSA 2.0: Urge Your Reps: Vote NO on the “KIDS Act”! When #KOSA was introduced in 2022, 90 organizations led by the Center for Democracy and Technology opposed it. Now, KOSA is back in the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act. Urge Your Reps: Vote NO on the “KIDS Act”! buff.ly/UOqSzIl

We got about six weeks to get this KOSA bill stopped before it advances further. Call/write your reps!!
