FYI: That image being shared around, the one where the government is trying to define trans people as terrorists? It's been edited. The stuff is all in there, yes, but two paragraphs have been put together to make it look as scary as possible. THIS IS EXTREMELY IRRESPONSIBLE, DO NOT FUCKING DO THIS

No, the verdict in the ‘social media addiction’ lawsuit was not a win against big tech, it creates a legal precedent for mass surveillance, censorship, the total destruction of the open web. Go to badinternetbills.com and fight these laws!! 👈👈👈

Major Alert: The Threat to Our Online Freedom is Escalating! (ALARMING NEWS 🚨) "The recent verdict against Meta and Google threatens online freedoms; we must unite to protect our rights before it's too late."

Just a reminder that they still intend to do this, dont let the backlash die down, keep cancelling your subscription.

The thing about the whole “social media addiction” campaign from Heritage and all the other far right fundamentalist groups, is that they’re openly bragging about how they’ll use these “kids online safety” legal precedents/laws to censor LGBTQ ppl off the internet

The Commission stands with Big Tech in an utterly wild letter that puts pressure on the democratically elected European Parliament to abandon their rights respecting vote on #ChatControl 1.0 just two weeks ago, and instead give Big Tech two-more-years of mass […] [Original post on eupolicy.social]

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art) Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...

KOSA is the newest bill set to hurt the online landscape. But what does it mean for you?

Thank you to Anthony Gramuglia for bringing attention to this issue. I’m part of an activist group fighting this bill and I was very upset to see it go through committee this past week. We need as many people aware and motivated to give their reps an earful as possible.

The House committee will be hearing on a package of 19 internet censorship and surveillance bills like KOSA that will take away our digital freedoms and privacy tomorrow on Thursday, March 5th. Please fill the committee members' phones with your calls of your opposition of these dangerous bills.

🚨KOSA, app store restrictions and ID checks are expected to be reviewed by House Energy and Commerce Committee this week, bringing us that much closer to a censored Internet under the guise of “kids safety"! We have to keep up the pressure against these bills! www.badinternetbills.com

Heads up, they're pushing to mark up those terrible age verification bills in the US House of Representatives, if you're scared about censorship, now's the time to push back. Tumblr post with more info/link to members of the committee doing markup & callscript: titleknown.tumblr.com/post/8099259...

THREAD: Whenever imperialist governments go to war, they become more authoritarian at home. That makes censorship bills like KOSA, ID checks, and attacks on Section 230 even more dangerous. Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed. www.badinternetbills.com

Age verification doesn't "protect kids". It's all about control and surveillance. If you live in California, please call your local reps and tell them to OPPOSE this bill and anything similar to it. #SaveSpeech Find rep: findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov Find sen: www.senate.ca.gov/senators

The Digital ID (Age verification, hyper surveillance and destruction of free speech) bills will be going through full Committee markup via House Energy and commerce this week. (Tues or Wed or Thurs) #KidsOnlineSafetyAct #KOSA #Section230 #freespeech #ageverification #digitalid

Hey so if you were mad about Discord's age verification, do contact your reps and senators, if you're in the US, and be a pain in their ass about bills like KOSA, if stuff like that goes through the age verification is no longer a discord thing, it's gonna be an everywhere thing.

Soon this week, House and Senate will try to reintroduce KOSA, SCREEN ACT, App Store Accountability Act and more to enforce Age Gating and Censorship on everyone! Call your Lawmakers, Tell them to OPPOSE this! www.badinternetbills.com stopkosa.com

alright no more screamin' at the internet today Call your Senators and Reps about KOSA, defending section 230, IODA, and the SCREEN act. www.badinternetbills.com

CALL YOUR CONGRESS PERSON NOW!!!!!! Tell them: — NO to KOSA — NO to Section 230 reform — NO to the SCREEN Act — NO to the App Store Accountability Act —NO age verification laws —NO to digital ID systems

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Spreading the word about this because Discord's up to its bullshit again. If it's asking you for your ID to verify your age, go straight to doing this instead and see if that fixed it.

this would affect my ability to apply for disability! last year someone with my disease won a landmark case that qualified it as a disability under ADA! ive never applied for disability because of the 2k savings restrictions was unliveable and the marriage aspect discouraging. please call!

Also adding: Oppose ID/face-scan bills as well. They don't work, we KNOW they don't work, and all they do is compromise privacy and safety and make it impossible to comfortably exist online, whether you're a kid or an adult, it destroys the internet for everyone. #savespeech

Those that live in the US must call their fucking representatives and tell them to protect Section 230. Gordon-Levitt is pushing a Project 2025 agenda.

Also, do not stop calling your lawmakers to protect #Section230. Call them everyday, because many LGBTQ+ youths need the internet to survive this cruel world that views their existence as undesirable. Repealing it is part of Project 2025. U.S. House/Senate number: (202) 224-3121

Pay close attention to some of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s partners frothing at the mouth to sunset Section 230. NCOSE is a raging homophobic organization hell bent on erasing LGTBQ life from media...not to mention the Heritage Foundation?

Wisconsin is about to ban VPN use for "material harmful to minors," part of a larger bill age-verification bill. The final vote is tomorrow. If you're based in WI, or have fans or friends who are, have them contact their legislator NOW. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/wi/action.php

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?
