Reminder that there is no such thing as “age verification”!! It’s ID verification. We need to stop using industry terms and remind people what is really happening: tying absolutely everything u see and say online to ur govt ID. Follow @omarsbigsister who is covering this stuff
From an article in the Telegraph in 2022:
One of the main reasons the Online Safety Act, which then went to inspire laws like KOSA, KIDS Act, Australia's bans, etc, is one single person - a British Baroness with no tech, law, or privacy history. She's a filmmaker.
Reminder it's been stopped MULTIPLE TIMES because of *major* pushback.
Yes we should do more but until one of yall organize and come up with something, calling reps in mass numbers is the best thing. We have the numbers but aren't utilizing them.

Mohammad is hovering between life and death and is in desperate need of an emergency surgery. He is currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). I implore every human being who sees this post to support Mohammad so he can survive.
The surgery costs $5,000.
I beg you a million times over to help Mohammad. Please, donate and share the campaign.

As-salamu alaykum. I’m Wissam. Alhamdulillah I’m about to get married and start a new life.
I’m not asking for a wedding or celebration. I’m asking for help so I can start life with dignity.
After the price hikes in Gaza, rent + deposit, basic furniture for the house, and food for the first 3 months are now beyond what I can manage on my own.
If you’re reading this, please share or help with whatever you can. Your donation isn’t just financial help — it’s a chance for us to start our life right. JazakAllahu khayr
السلام عليكم. أنا وسام من غزة. الحمد لله مقبل على الزواج ورح ابدا حياة جديدة.
مش عم أطلب عرس ولا احتفال، عم أطلب مساعدة عشان ابدا حياة بكرامة.
بعد غلاء الأسعار في غزة ، الإيجار + التأمين، فرشة البيت الأساسية، وأكل أول 3 شهور صاروا فوق طاقتي لحالي.
إذا قرأت هالكلام، شارك أو ساعد بأي شي بتقدر عليه. تبرعك مش بس مساعدة مادية، هو فرصة إنا ابدا حياتنا صح. جزاكم الله خير

Your tweets and retweets aren't going to do shit. Pressure matters if you want to stop KOSA. Why do you think it hasn't passed yet? Because we used https://t.co/iPxvmaorsX to call representatives and put pressure on them not to pass it. But we NEED all hands on deck.
Literally none of these viral posts matter if action isn't taken. If you want digital ID and age verification to not go forward in the US, you have to actually do something other than hit the like button.
202-224-3121 connects you to your lawmakers. Mass pressure works.
I might be one of the only people on YT begging you to "think of the health of the children!!" but it's not a right wing dog whistle and I just sincerely think children deserve to be protected from transmissible airborne diseases using existing technology.
If you care about the deplatforming of left wing creators, or see how members of the government have sought to pressure companies like Twitch to deplatform/censor independent voices like @hasanthehun and others, I urge you to learn about this law which would make that illegal!
🚨🚨🚨
KOSA IS MOVING FORWARD IN THE HOUSE
It's part of a package called the KIDS Act, filled with digital ID and age verification and censorship.
MAKE THOSE PHONES RING!! CALL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES ALL WEEK
