Just a reminder is that one of the KOSA parents aka Brandon Guffey was the representative who created this law which is obviously unconstitutional.
This bill is what these parents want for the Internet and they need to be stopped ASAP.
Let me you a little secret.
This is a lie. This bill is called the Stop CSAM Act so that no one can look like a bad person by opposing it. But this bill does nothing for CSAM.
In fact, this is a bill to gut Section 230 completely.
Trojan horse of all trojan horses.
Do NOT pass KOSA.
it’s VERY similar to the UK’s OSA, which is tirelessly being used to strip UK citizens of their freedom of speech.
You DO NOT want this. It’s literally a censorship bill disguised as “kids’ safety”.
The fact that almost EVERY former confederate state is moving to completely eliminate Black representatives almost immediately after the SCOTUS decision should be more than enough proof that voting rights still need protection and racism is far from gone in this country.
Long story short: It's going to target everything the government doesn't want you to see or say.
It's going to be the same thing here in the US and your country soon, too.
If you click on the link, you can actually vote if you’re for/against this bill. Likely have to be a state resident for it to be valid.
Also, don’t be fooled by the name of the bill; This is another backdoor Digital ID bill via “Age” (ID) verification.
‼️‼️😱💦EVERYBODY LISTEN
Takaichi sent a minister to Bangladesh and he gave 17.5 Million in aid in exchange for 6 MILLION immigrants
Please, help spread this
We need to do something
I warned everyone that if you allow government to restrict free expression (no matter how abhorrent) it will lead to tyranny, Mimi Yanagi was ARRESTED for her artwork, her accounts seized/banned and now can only draw "SFW approved by the UK Government" her life/career is ruined.
42 House Democrats voted to reauthorize warrantless surveillance powers for Trump.
Why is a single Democrat voting for this?
If Democrats all voted NO, it would have failed because of 22 GOP NO votes.
I do want to let people in my home country of USA know that what we see happening in the UK and Canada are absolutely things that are going to be slowly hitting us.
We are not immune. And thinking we are and letting things slide is how it happens faster.
The reality is our vote doesn’t have as much pull as we think it does.
The world is fully connected and changing. Freedom isn’t going to matter to anyone in power soon.
This bill could change everything for American Creators and our Freedom of Expression, but it has gotten so little attention.
H.R. 4678 The Restoring Artistic Protection Act, introduced by Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), would create a strong legal presumption that creative works cannot be used as evidence in federal criminal or civil cases.
It covers all creative expression, including:
• Video Games
• Comics & Animation
• Movies & TV Shows
• Books & Literature
• Visual Art & Scripts
Fictional storylines, characters, dialogue, artwork, and gameplay would be presumed inadmissible. Prosecutors could only overcome this with a pretrial hearing and clear and convincing evidence that it’s directly relevant, not just character assassination.
No more treating art as confession.
This would give game devs, comic artists, animators, and filmmakers real breathing room to create bold, edgy, and unfiltered content without lawsuit chill.
It currently has 21 Democrat cosponsors, but something this important needs bipartisan support and hearings in Judiciary. Similar protections have already passed in Georgia, Louisiana, and Missouri with Republican backing.
After 15+ years, Americans are tired of watching their sanitized culture wither away while other countries continue to make great works for the world to enjoy, we want to have pride in the art that our country produces, and it is high time that American creators were able to build freely and without fear again.

So governments spent years telling you to stay anonymous and safe on the internet, realised they couldn’t track your every move, and are now telling us to do the opposite.
no thanks
I'm sorry but no. This violates our 4A and it normalizes identity verification. It's not age verification. It's not to protect the kids. This bill exists to track Americans and spy on them. It has too many privacy risks
