If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure. Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

Machine learning is a neat tool, but clearly companies are desperate to give “AI” credit for what human scholars accomplish in part because companies have bet the farm on the idea that human ingenuity is expendable. This historian is extraordinary and deserves the real credit.

AUSTRALIA YALL HAVE ONE DAY LEFT ON YOUR PETITION if yourevam aussie and havent signed it yet? MOW IS THE TIME

If you havent joined in the effort yet, if you havent called any reps, or sent letters to paypros etc etc You can still hop on and help. Now is the time to try! Because we will only get out of this by trying! stop-paypros.neocities.org

🇸🇮 Slovenia OPPOSES Chat Control! "Ministry of the Interior today announced today that it is committed to the right balance between the protection of children and the interference with fundamental rights, and cannot support the proposal [...] in its current form." Source: n1info.si/novice/slove...

Another blow to chat control! EU folks, contact your MEPs so we can block chat control! You have until the 14th of october!

you need to stop giving into to doomer impulses. these are fights we can win. We've won some of them BEFORE, with LESS public outcry (tho do not let that engender passivity!) quite a few of these dogshit bills have failed before! we can change the future!

Seconding this post. Please keep calling and mailing. ESPECIALLY if you're in Germany. If Germany flips to opposed, with how the current shakeup is looking, chatcontrol is dead in the water once again.

Extremely funny how bsky admin will swear up and down theyre just acting upon the TOS fairly/without biad wrt not permabanning jesse singal But then the instant you bring up Gretchen Felker-Martin and her erroneous suspension they fucking vanish like come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Be serious

The Governor of North Dakota knows the age-verification law he signed doesn't work. He doesn't care. Porn is still easily accessible online, including to minors. Meanwhile, North Dakotans trying to access Bluesky are forced to show their papers.

"Passing ineffective law to satiate the public breeds contempt for the law and the political process. It also deters efforts to find solutions that really will work. Having already passed a law, the politicians can move on to the next thing, even though the law in question is ineffective."

bumping this. time is getting closer

EU folks! Contact your MEPs and denand they oppose Chat Control! The link below has a section that lets you find your MEP! fightchatcontrol.eu#member-states

IMPORTANT UPDATE: 
Denmark has scheduled a vote on Chat Control the 14th of October. Despite not wanting to break end-to-end encryption, 🇩🇪 Germany remains both UNDECIDED and critical to defeating the proposal. 
If you are German, contact your Bundestag members today via fightchatcontrol.de !

Please note that fightchatcontrol.de is a permanent redirection to fightchatcontrol.eu in German with the Bundestag pre-selected for easier sharing. You can still access the Bundestag members via the primary .eu website.

if you are German, you really need to yell and scream at your MEPs about chat control! Germany has been flip flopping on chat control constantly. Their vote carries an enormous amount of weight on this issue! we can win this, but we need to make our voices heard! contact your representatives!

Another company (this time one focusing on releasing official translations of BL) having to shut down digital distributions because of paypro nonsense. We really need another wave of angry calls to these paypros because they continue to keep getting bolder with their censorship.

See more information about Chat Control in German via chat-kontrolle.eu and stay up-to-date via netzpolitik.org !

Paypros are still throwing their weight around. Now's a good time to pick up yelling at them again!

i know it feels over sometimes, when we get some bad news like the Bluesky TOS update, it can feel like yet another straw upon the camel's back but i need y'all to trust in each other and work with each other despite that kneejerk feeling. we can do this. we can get there.

"My reps are all conservative and do what they want anyway so I can't call about KOSA" This bill has died multiple times before and it's because people told their reps they don't like it, especially the red ones

yeah KOSA is an extremely defeatable bill, as evidenced by the many times it's been defeated

#SaveSpeech The vote on Chat Control is in October, I believe, and there's only 7 countries opposed. But there's a whole lot more that are undecided since this all started. I know it's felt a lot like 1 step forwards, 2 steps back. But keep calling and mailing, please! Fightchatcontrol.eu

y'all need to REALLY REALLY YELL ABOUT THIS. leave messages, send emails, call them when theyre in their offices tomorrow, YOU NEED TO BE LOUD ABOUT THIS. www.congress.gov/members/find...

when you make your calls today, continue to hammer that trans healthcare cannot be thrown under the bus for the sake of business as usual, and that KOSA must be opposed however, additionally, if your senator voted against the funding plan, I think you should tell them "thank you".

most of the time we're yelling at these dorks cuz we're trying to steer them away from bad behavior, but when they do the correct thing (in this case, opting for a govt shutdown rather than just swallowing everything the GOP wants them to) we SHOULD give them some positive feedback

also if your senator is Rand Paul: definitely give him some positive reinforcement cuz he was the only GOP to break from the rest and vote against the bill. the more repubs we can tear away from bad policies, the better. for those with Fetterman + Catherine Masto tho, fucking yell at those losers

this is a load of barnacleeees

Day 1: Ghost

autumn 🎃

Just called my house rep's office and talked to an actual human who took my opinion. That's great; but it also means not a ton of people are calling and providing enough feedback to overwhelm offices. Let's maybe overwhelm a little! #SaveSpeech

Payment processor censorship mentioned as a reason. Horrible

#SaveSpeech Ireland has its own Online Safety Code currently under deliberation, however, as with all the other online ID verification bills going around right now, this one is vague and full of dangerous assumptions. read about it below and contact your representatives about it!

The deadline for the australian petition is coming up [oct 3rd]! So aussies, get on that! Additionally, canadians, the deadline for your petition is ovtober 25th so you only have a few more weeks to push this!

The deadline for this petition is october 28th, so we only have a few more weeks to pump those numbers If youre canadian, sign this petition amd share it around! Get friends and family to sign!

Australians! Yall have 2 days left!

Happy spooky month and reminder to people to call your democratic senators and republicans and house democratics and republicans to oppose kosa and make sure the bill doesn't pass www.stopkosa.com sign this petiton as well! #savespeech

People get to act now, inundate your representatives to make damn sure they are scared and back down, KOSA is an incredible danger to the internet.

People have repeatedly explained to Senator Blumenthal and his staffers the problems with KOSA only to be met with lies and denial. He knows it's a nightmare of a bill. At this point the only reasonable conclusion is that he likes the nightmare.

I've found the best strategy when your reps are Rs is to really hammer home how Anti-American, Anti-1st amendment, & anti-freedom these bills are, cause it's true. Also how much they've tanked the popularity of candidates who've backed KOSA in the UK. Also endless "you're wasting my tax $ on THIS?!"
