I understand that search engines are bad and some folks are in states with censorship laws already; but things aren't THAT bad yet unless I'm missing something. Even just 5calls.org should have all the info you need on an issue. SO USE IT.

"But who do I call?" "What do I say?" These are things that are easily searchable and I have been sharing script on script and there's SO many around the web too: you need to take back the idea of studying and start applying it to your life. Being able to find info and research is POWER.

And no, your politicians can't take away *your rights specifically* just for calling in and asking for healthcare or something. Maybe some of them want to; but that just isn't the reality we live in yet -- so use your right to free speech while you still have it. 🙌

This is why ID verification laws are bad. No website can truly have the security it needs to keep ANY information safe. Not a single one.

Here's the email I sent to my senators this week, I have been contacting them regularly about this since May. Feel free to tweak it and make it your own:

Exactly this. Be annoying!!!

call your reps. find 'em here: reps.fyi

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.

Epic Games not only didn't do Rainbow Royale this year (a Fortnite event for the LGBTQIA+) but they're also encouraging folks to play Hogwarts Legacy & now this. Killing a skin on sight is not enough since that's literally the point of the game, just stop playing it. They know what they're doing.

This week is the last week before Congress goes on December recess. When calling your House Rep also mention these bills: KOSA SCREEN Act COPPA 2.0 RESET Act Sammy Act App Store Accountability Act GAMING Act Safe Messaging for Kids Act Parents over Platforms Act (1/5)

#SaveSpeech We only have about a week before most legislators go out for a holiday recess, so i recommend giving your reps a call to oppose bad internet bills! I've included a script i adapted from one initially written by FFtF www.congress.gov/members/find... www.badinternetbills.com

Sum good news for today and a reminder that the erosion of online speech is not inevitable as those in power would like you to believe

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!

As it's been pointed out, age verification laws getting permablocked in Louisiana, Arkansas and Ohio directly contradicts the narrative that KOSA et al is popular, which its congressional supporters are desperately claiming If we push it could unravel completely, but we all *have* to keep pushing

🇺🇸: use badinternetbills.com to call your representatives THIS WEEK (starting Dec 15)! use the script on their website. it took me a little less than 15 minutes!

Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

You need to read this thread and you need to be calling every representative you have and threatening to literally never vote for them again and donate your time to getting them replaced if they do this. If you don't, it's basically the end of the internet.

Seems not to be the final vote, more a checkpoint. But call anyways. You will receive a call that upon answering, routes you to representatives. Doesn't take long. The people on the other end of the line are patient, and worst case, you leave a message

i really recommend using this website to maximize your calls re: tomorrow's markdown meeting in the House energy and commerce committee. it connects you to various relevant legislators and gives you a script as well!

I 100% did not expect the govt to point at banks on behalf of the adult industry. We need to leverage the hell out of this Remember Mastercard and Visa blaming "banking partners"? If banks face repercussions their alibis could start crumbling as they get pinched between angry consumers and the feds

sex workers have long been OGs in mutual aid & community care so this is not at all surprising

Lawmakers and bible thumpers don't want you to understand the people they're demonizing are doing more good for society than they ever would

The least you can do is yell. It is the least you can do. Remember everyone who came before you and is alive right now who is forced to do more. It is a privilege to get to call and mail. Take every chance to do it.

This account's only purpose is to remind you to MAKE NOISE and also I'm reposting cool art from mutuals, but if you wanna keep seeing literally any of that good shit, YOU NEED TO FIGHT.

A new week has come so you know what that means? More calls. As a reminder when calling your House Rep you need to also tell them about: KOSA SCREEN Act COPPA 2.0 RESET Act Sammy Act App Store Accountability Act GAMING Act Safe Messaging for Kids Act Parents over Platforms Act Cont.

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

tapping the sign

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

#SaveSpeech if you're Canadian, you may have heard about a handful of bills that have free speech and anti-surveillance orgs worried, so ive made a cheat sheet of info about what makes each one worrying! We need to block these bills! please contact your reps! oncanadaproject.ca/findyourrep

They’re describing it as a “shock and awe” campaign, which is why it’s essential to show them there’s huge opposition NOW. Call / email your reps to let them know you oppose censorship bills like KOSA and the SCREEN. Read up and get involved in the @fightforthefuture.org Week of Action.

The absolute kicker to all of this is that most of the solutions they are seeking already exist on your phone. They just need to be enabled by parents. But, no, they want to bring an East Wing demolition crew to everyone's internet because no one can be bothered going to "settings."

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children. Committee hearings begin tomorrow.

Chiitan Knight will continue to spread his message until there are no more transgender people who are subjected to unjustified criticism and slander♡ Let's create a world where we can all love freely🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

#SaveSpeech The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

#SaveSpeech tomorrow December 2nd, the Energy+Commerce Committee is having a hearing on a package of "online child safety" bills A number of these bills are pro-censorship and surveillance please call their office and tell them these bill;s are dangerous and unpopular! script below!

why are tech nerds often cunts? im talking about manages python libraries on their 7 year old thinkpad tech nerds not billionaires like you'll ask them how to move a box and they'll say "a box is a concept you lemming, go fuck your self" like sorry i just started something your interested in dick

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked. Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight? Also go support Nakufin.

STRIP vs STRIPE - PART 1! #SaveSpeech First goal: Remove shawl + skirt! Comment below with your experience calling a payment processor! Each call/letter earns points, and they must be NEW to count! Here's links for numbers, info, and scripts: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money #Lilya

SUNDAY MAKE IT COUNT CALL MC! CALL VISA! IF THEY REDIRECT YOU TO YOUR BANK, TELL THEM YOUR BANK DIRECTED YOU TO MC / VISA

Is it too much to ask to be smothered in huge dragon woman tummy...

Working today but please keep up the calls, please. Stress that you're upset you can't buy certain products with your card because the merchant isn't allowed to take the card. If the company says, "ask your bank" tell them you already did or call your bank and make THEM call.

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

I’ve heard you can literally, physically see the strain on these call center workers between shifts while they’re out and about. Cannot stress enough that this call campaign is way more effective than some people realize. Please be kind when you call. (3)

Agents need these jobs for medical insurance. A lot of them are sympathetic to your concerns. MC global (upper level of corporate, above regional corporate) is hounding bosses to end this and bosses are snapping at workers as a result. Please be kind when you call, they’re getting slammed (2)

Morale at paypros call centers is in the toilet right now. It’s not just normal Black Friday stress, they’re being pounded. Corporate is pressuring bosses to end the paypros call campaigns. Source familiar w/ internals at MC stressed that folks should stand their ground but be kind to agents (1)

Extremely cute and inoffensive SFW furry art account gets nuked by paypros. Come on, this is insane. Get to those phones. Don't let them rest.

Today is the day! Make some phone calls to Visa and Mastercard if youre able to and keep it going as much as you can muster until monday!

they may not be actively cancelling transactions, but they ARE getting in the way of people being able to use THEIR MONEY to buy and sell LEGAL content. stress how this is hurting your opinion of these brands, and making you consider dropping them/ getting a different card
