Background on why KOSMA as written is a bad idea: cdt.org/insights/ban...

Looks like Ted Cruz is pushing forward the "Kids Off Social Media Act". A hearing in the Senate Commerce Committee is scheduled for this Thursday. www.commerce.senate.gov/2026/1/chair... CC: @mmasnick.bsky.social @evangreer.bsky.social

KOSA is an attack on trans people. It restricts the public discussion of them online. Their existence is not harmful to society. @fightforthefuture.org www.erininthemorning.com/p/op-ed-with...

#savespeech #ProtectSection230 Old post, but remember what's at stake. I've seen no hearing proposed on Feb. yet, but that doesn't mean they wont try. 9 Senators support it. Don't doom. Don't panic. Keep calling the committees & reps. www.congress.gov/members/find... www.congress.gov/committees

This misses the key distinction which is that the Online Safety Act (& KOSA in the U.S.) is about punishing, censoring and surveilling *users*. None of these “child safety” laws are about punishing actual big tech companies. They’re ONLY about censoring speech, they reward big tech financially

My Senator Elizabeth Warren ( @warren.senate.gov ) is known in the local LGBTQ community for showing up at Pride and dancing around in a feather boa. But now she's becoming known for betraying trans youth and human rights by cosponsoring KOSA. Shame on her. www.erininthemorning.com/p/op-ed-with...

It's a new week meaning its a new wave of calls. 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 Sunset to Reform Section 230 Act (1/6)

Please contact your representatives no matter what party and tell them to veto KOSA www.stopkosa.com

I know I'm sharing a lot about what Elizabeth Warren is doing, but yeah. We don't need KOSA, SCREEN, none of that shit. The supporters of it truly don't care about the fallout of it and just care about optics. Cool. Let's make it so toxic that it'll sink them.

Adult creators and sex workers are going to continue to be picked off, one by one, unless people stand up for them. please call your representatives. demand they oppose censorship bills like the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and demand protections for Section 230

apropos of nothing, just a reminder that the CEO of Common Sense Media, one of the main organizations pushing dangerous censorship bills like KOSA and the repeal of Section 230, makes more than $600,000 per year. source: projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/o...

They want pictures of your kids. After everything that has happened, how does this not sound creepy?! If you're from the UK, call your Lords and MPs to put a stop to this insane crap! #savespeech #stopageverification #stoponlineidchecks members.parliament.uk/findyourmp?S...

for the people in the uk, you need to spread immediately! this shit isn’t at all times about protecting kids! it's about controlling your data, monitoring you, and forcing you to upload your ID just so you can get hacked!

Age verification laws do not help kids. They hurt our 1st Amendment and our privacy, and leaves our data vulnerable to hackers and leakers. Regardless of the odds of passing, call your reps to OPPPOSE this bill. #savesspeech #stopageverification #stoponlineidchecks www.congress.gov/members/find...

NCOSE, the central group pushing KOSA and other censorship bills, not only is verified on X, but is actively using the CSAM scandal to milk engagement on the platform. X is currently ignoring age-verification laws in multiple states, but instead of boycotting, they're juicing.

The democrats are currently trying to reward big tech and permanently entrench its power by pushing horrific mass surveillance and censorship laws under the guise of “cracking down on big tech” and “kids online safety.” DO NOT LET THEM TRICK YOU!!

#savespeech #stopKOSA So seems like another bill that was forgotten since July has reared its head again from Ted Cruz: the Kids Off Social Media Act. www.govtrack.us/congress/bil... 35% likely to pass, bipartisian, and likely to push AVing. Call your reps NOW www.congress.gov/members/find...

Bills like the SCREEN Act, KOSA and more still need pushback from the public! please call your reps and demand that censorship laws be opposed! www.congress.gov/members/find...

// police shooting , gun violence How's about we deal with all the GenAI stuff directly targeting kids before we use bubble wrapping the internet as an excuse for the government to force sites to take down whatever this administration wants? You can spin anything as bad for kids if you want to

"protecting the kids! protecting the kids!" my ass ice tracking our asses down to harm us, censoring lgbtq and human rights forcing people to upload your ID, repealing section 230, and creating more surveillance? THESE WON'T PROTECT KIDS kosa should just stay dead. PERMANENTLY!

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would force social media platforms to filter and suppress content that the Trump admin is willing to argue makes kids "depressed" or "anxious." Videos of ICE murdering people make me pretty depressed and anxious, and I'm a grown ass adult. See where this is going?

Since things were already going, uh, swimmingly. Can we talk about KOSA & the other bullshit tech bills with bi-partisan support? Ya know, unlike our healthcare. @taylorlorenz.bsky.social breaks some of it down. In the event you’re screaming into the void too & can’t. youtu.be/8bnp3nmpK9g?...

surprise surprise the "trafficking" and "Anti-porn" orgs don't actually give a shit about victims it's just about hating on sex workers and adult creators

Even the bill's own sponsor admitted: "Laws with good intentions have been struck down for violating the First Amendment." If you're acknowledging your bill might be unconstitutional before it even passes, maybe the problem isn't the courts.

If they want to protect kids, why do they continuously post on X/Twitter? Especially after what happened with Grok? Answer, bc it was never about the kids. These are censorship bills that destroys free speech and privacy. Call your reps and tell them to OPPOSE these bills. 5calls.org/issue/kids-o...

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

#savespeech This seems like it’s high priority now. This committee is notoriously slow, idk if anything will come out of this immediately. it’s seemingly focused on promoting KOSMA, which got out of Committee back at the end of June, but it’s worrying they’re discussing these bills again.

If cops or feds end up knocking on your door don't tell them anything other than you're invoking your fifth amendment right to remain silent (and if they detain you, verbally invoke your fifth amendment right to consult an attorney as well)

They aren't just racist and xenophobic. They are a cult. And they will target anyone who doesn't bend the knee to their cult leader. This is how zealots work.

CALL YOUR REPS AND SENTAORS! TELL THEM TO STOP WITH THIS DUMB SHIT AND FOCUS ON THINGS WE ACTUALLY NEED!!! This has NOTHING to do with protecting kids, this is about censorship and control!

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!

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.

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

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.

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! 🆘🆘🆘🆘📱💻📱❗❗❗

this bears repeating: Grok is bad because it's creating NONCONSENSUAL sexual images of real people. Not because sex is icky and should be scrubbed from the Internet. The distinction is crucial at a moment when dangerous censorship legislation is bipartisan and widely misunderstood

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.

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.

If you think these things are about child safety you have been tricked by christofascists. Remember they don’t care about children, free speech or privacy. Seriously, call/write your reps. It’s one little thing you can do, yell at them everyday for how terrible they are at their jobs.

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

for once i am going to say: read the comments, because there are smart people discussing this complex issue there. I generally agree that 230 should not protect most generative AI outputs because the company itself is "speaking" in response to user prompt, or at least "materially contributing"

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.

And this is your sign to donate to PBS!!!!! This doesn’t mean defeat!!!

THIS IS A CENSORSHIP BILL ALIGNING WITH PROJECT 2025'S PLANS OF OUTLAWING PORN. CALL UR REPS AND TELL THEM THAT IT AND OTHERS LIEK IT VIOLATE THE FIRST AMENDMENT. www.badinternetbills.com

Congress is debating the Kids Online Safety Act — an overbroad bill that risks censoring everything from jokes and hyperbole to useful information about sex ed and suicide prevention. This isn't about safety, it's about control.

If you get an email like this from your state rep, chances are it's about the KOSA bill, which is a censorship bill being masqueraded as protection for children. Please contact your reps and tell them to NOT support it!!
