Oh look it did not stop at “adult websites” like some people said it would be ok to give government an inch of power to do the parents job. Now anything dangerous to “the children “ will be subjected to the digital id age verification bs. It’s all a lie they want to harvest data

[(🍂) JACK ! (#1 Sans Fangirl) @JacksArtchives]

They want to censor art and everything used to produce it including any sort of media and general access to the world wide web.
THIS is censorship at its highest level. Call your representatives NOW

[Age Veri fication Hater 🏳️‍⚧️🍉🌻 @chloetankahhui]

we're all rightfully angry about KOSA, but let's not forget that the FCC also wants to force everyone to show an ID to buy a cell phone plan. remember, the US is a country where ID isn't necessary to buy a gun

[Josh Humble @joshhumble]

Parents already had more than enough power to keep kids safe, & this has nothing to do with it. It has EVERYTHING to do with controlling and censoring adults, while putting our sensitive data at risk. This is NOT the job of government, so cease and desist with these stupd bills.

[DBL MP / Double @dbl_mp1]

It's people like YOU that are the reason KOSA could pass.

Like literally why would you NOT try to fight it? There's nothing to lose but a few minutes of your day making a call/email.

What a terrible mindset to have.

"The UK has been threatening tiny American business owners with jail time for constitutionally protected speech under its OSA for a year and the Senate has done very little in response."

Senate wants what the UK is doing. That's the problem on why they haven't done anything

[DBL MP / Double @dbl_mp1]

It starts with “indefensable” stuff and continues to evolve into the most insane crap like locking you out of your own laptop.

this is a list of REAL bills I’ve seen introduced. I’m NOT making these up.

This is NOT to protect kids. It’s just freaking not.

[Michelle (Jax's wife) @demonbellez44]

Everybody lock the fuck in and do not let KOSA pass!

[🏴‍☠️CyberTechWolf🏴‍☠️ @CyberTechWolff]

They want 1984 fuck off House Commerce.

[🏴‍☠️CyberTechWolf🏴‍☠️ @CyberTechWolff]

KOSA violates the first amendment this is not big news if this passes.

[Bonus.BMC @MarioMan85]

This is not a thing that only hurts a certain group, this affects everyone and everything. This is not something to be divided on, we all need to be loud and loud together or else we may never have freedom of speech in this country ever again.

[alpha @omarsbigsister]

you only feel like it's gotten so bad so fast because you weren't aware of the long, drawn out fight over the course of years to prevent laws like KOSA from passing. this has been happening before COVID. you are just now aware of it.

[DBL MP / Double @dbl_mp1]

this could get (and imo already has gotten) SO bad SO fast I'm dead serious

[alpha @omarsbigsister]

🚨🚨🚨
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

After all the Discord between users and what Discord is actually pushing, they still refuse to back down.

Google Wallet and credit card verification locks in your real name. That is exactly why so many people stayed away from Discord Nitro.

We will not comply.

[Age Veri fication Hater 🏳️‍⚧️🍉🌻 @chloetankahhui]

this is still unacceptable

Discord forcing you to do age verification thru Google Wallet or credit cards might not be as bad as giving up biometrics or ID, but it will still tie your account back to your real name and identity. this will still destroy online anonymity

[David Williams @tpapres]

💯

[Chibi Reviews @ChibiReviews]

Discord is still going forward with forcing everyone worldwide to dox your personal information to them despite the massive backlash they received earlier this year. With people calling out their recent data breach.

Discord also updated its documentation for age assurance.

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

As @DeepHumor said, everyone needs to realize that every company and government around the world wants to harvest as much info from you as possible. And these “child safety” laws only mandate that they collect even more
