The KIDS Act—a comprehensive legislative package that includes age verification and regulations on private messaging—has passed the U.S. House of Representatives.
It is truly disappointing. However, the Senate still remains. Advocacy efforts from this point on will be crucial.
Warning! This is moving fast.
Congress is rushing the KIDS Act to expand the surveillance state under the guise of “protecting kids.”
Identity checks to use the internet.
Government monitoring and control of all Americans.
It’s coming if you don’t act now.
Tell Congress: No!
This is a dangerous anti-privacy bill (identity verification) that the House of Representatives might try to pass by voice vote this afternoon before many of us are even in town. Senators Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and Ron Wyden voted against a similar bill in the Senate two years ago.
A new U.S. bill called the KIDS Act is facing pushback from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which says it could require age verification on many websites and apps.
If the bill becomes law, people may have to prove their age before using some online services, possibly by showing a government ID or other verification.
The EFF says this could make it harder to stay private online and could push websites to remove or limit more content to avoid legal issues.

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!
Two Starbucks employees who FOUGHT OFF ARMED ROBBERS AND HELD THEM FOR THE POLICE...
...have been FIRED for "violating company policy" because they did not just comply.
They risked their lives to defend the store and customers... and Starbucks FIRED THEM for it.
This happened at a St. Louis Starbucks where 2 masked men walked in, pointed a gun, and demanded money.
Everyone hit the floor and one robber shoved a female employee to the ground.
A worker named Michael Harris tried to just give them the cash to make them leave. They pistol-whipped him in the back of the head.
Then his coworker Devin Jones-Ransom made a split-second decision and TACKLED the gunman into the drive-thru window.
The weapon broke... and they realized it was fake. They subdued the robber and held him for police.
Both robbers were convicted and they're sitting in prison right now BECAUSE of these two young men.
And a few weeks later, after the attention died down and Starbucks FIRED BOTH OF THEM.
The reason?
They "violated company policy" by not just complying to being robbed.
Just so we are clear... a man gets a gun smashed into his skull, fears for his life, fights back, helps put two armed robbers in prison...
...and Starbucks FIRES HIM FOR IT?!!!!
WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THIS?!!!!!!
Even If KOSA does pass tomorrow there’s still a few hurdles till it reaches the table, so don’t panic if it does! Call your reps, spam their emails yknow the drill!!
no, KOSA will kill children
children in abusive households will die once KOSA cuts them off from their online communities and lifelines. i know, bc i was once a kid with abusive parents who relied on the internet/social media to survive
a vote for KOSA is a vote for dead kids

If you're concerned about age verification and digital ID and your privacy as a whole but live in Europe, your fight is here.

An urgent situation is unfolding in the U.S. Congress. The "KIDS Act"—a sweeping legislative package that includes measures such as stricter age verification for internet use and regulations on private messaging—is suddenly scheduled for a vote in the House of Representatives on the 29th.
While organizations like the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation)—which advocates for freedom of expression in the digital age—are sounding the alarm, the situation is escalating so rapidly that public awareness appears to be lagging behind. Some analyses suggest the House is leaning toward passing the bill, making the outcome highly uncertain.
We urge everyone to pay close attention to this matter and call upon U.S. citizens to take action to halt it; we are hoping for a positive outcome from here in Japan as well.
They're trying to pass KOSA again on Monday. Please take the time to contact your representatives and tell them to oppose invasive online ID verification bills. The new version of these bills is known as the KIDS Act. And will be used to censor LGBTQ content online.
👀THIS is (one of the many reasons) why I opposed SB2420 last session!
That I was the only Republican with the courage to oppose a bill that takes Texas closer to dystopian DIGITAL IDs is a sad commentary on our "conservative" government.
🚨Texas should be leading the fight against dystopian and tyrannical Digital IDs!
I'm announcing plans to file legislation to REPEAL SB2420, which moves Texas closer to UK-style online surveillance and CCP social credit scores...
And I'm asking Gov @GregAbbott_TX for an immediate special session to pass it, along with other conservative priorities that failed this year.
FULL LETTER BELOW:
Governor Abbott,
Since the 89th session, including the special sessions, was a liberal trainwreck, I sent you a letter dated September 4, 2025 asking you to call the legislature back for a special session for the following purposes:
1)Put Texas on a path to eliminate property taxes, cut taxes significantly and immediately, and make all property tax hikes illegal unless approved by the voters
2)Stop all taxpayer funding of DEI, LGBTQ indoctrination, and liberal Hollywood
3)Ban all taxpayer funded lobbying
4)End corporate welfare
5)Repeal all excessive spending increases from the previous bloated budget
I have not heard back from your office, so I am resending it in the event that the original letter did not make it to your desk.
Also, I am now requesting you add an additional item: LEGISLATION TO REPEAL SB 2420.
Texas should be leading the fight against digital IDs, UK-style online surveillance, and CCP inspired social credit scores. Yet, indefensibly, even as conservative leaders like Donald Trump Jr. and others warned against this specific bill, which takes Texas closer to all these dystopian and tyrannical policies, it was passed by the House and Senate, and you did not veto it.
I will be filing legislation to repeal it as soon as we are back in session, but, unless you call us back, we will not be in session again for a full year after this privacy destroying law goes into effect.
While proponents of this bill say it is only about “protecting children” from obscenity, that is simply not true. Texas already has laws on the book to address that issue, and this bill has no limitations restricting its applicability only to minors or to adult content. Instead, all Texas adults will be subjected to this big government, nanny state legislation.
SB 2420 grows government, takes options away from parents, and opens the door to surveillance, data abuse, and censorship.
Apparently Texas leaders need a reminder that there is no limit to the amount of tyranny that can be justified in the name of “protecting the children,” and that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

WATCH MY SPEECH that made the RINOs furious!
Awesome speaking with so many patriots at @TexasGOP convention… and thanking them for standing for LIBERTY!
I’m fighting to make government as irrelevant to our lives as possible, so we can be as free as God meant for us to be!
🚨This tyranny likely headed to TEXAS soon thanks to liberal bills like SB2420, which takes Texas closer to DIGITAL IDs and dystopian social credit scores!
NO!
Tell your State Rep/Senator you want SB2420 REPEALED!! (Yes, they probably voted for it.)
NO DIGITAL IDs IN TEXAS!!!
The KIDS Act is a five alarm fire by the way. This will reshape the entire internet and how we communicate and find information on anything and everything. Please, please fight back before it's too late.
