What a disgusting group of people led by an equally as disgusting man. They’re intellectually and morally bankrupt and gonna make this country and the world so much worse for everyone
Let's do something about age verification RIGHT NOW by going to https://t.co/Fv3Ydyy3b6 to call your reps and organize phone banks. Those bad internet bills would've passed way sooner without mass pressure. We cannot stop now. The Kids Act must be stopped dead in its tracks!
But seriously this is not a joke. This is not the time to sit around and do nothing then complain when it’s in place. I’m genuinely begging you all to at least do something as simple as sending an email you don’t even have to actually call anyone.
The KIDS/KOSA Acts sounds like child safety. Buried inside it, a mandatory identity verification regime for the internet.
To prove you're not a minor, you hand over PII data such as your name, birthdate, address, phone number, IP address, government ID, and/or a facial scan, to a third-party like Persona/IDMerit/a vendor you never chose.
We've already run this experiment. Persona kept biometric data for 3 years. IDMerit exposed a billion identity records. AU10TIX left login credentials exposed for over a year. Spain's regulator fined Yoti for keeping users' geolocation data five years too long.
The law says vendors can only keep your data for as long as required and that is "strictly necessary." But the data that's necessary to prove your age is the most exposing data you own. There's no safe version of this.
Call your reps. Tell them you oppose H.R. 7757 and any similar legislation.

“Trauma dumping” used to refer to people using sob stories as manipulation tactics, but I guess every useful term is doomed to be semantically bleached into meaninglessness…
We can ABSOLUTELY defeat KOSA, SCREEN, & other Internet censorship bills
bills that lock children into easily-identified spaces for the Epstein class to freely feed on 🤮
CALL YOUR HOUSE REP: 2022253121
CALL YOUR SENATOR: 2022243121
tell them: say NO to digital ID laws!
A package of age verification bills that will impact the ENTIRE internet. After markup it gets sent to the House. There is a lot of lobbying on both sides to get these passed, but the reason they haven't so far is public pushback. IT WORKS.
Call your House rep at 202-224-3121
I would like to return to woke (trans people respected and fascism shunned) not return to woke (annoying people using therapy language to excuse being an asshole)
Just so we're clear, it's multiple things attacking your rights on the internet right now
- multiple age verification bills (18) in front of the House, including KOSA
- a possible gutting of Section 230 (yet to be introduced)
https://t.co/vpIy5cunPR helps you fight them all
Moots and friends in the US pls call your lawmakers and committee members to keep them from passing kosa, the screen act, and repealing section 230. S230 is what keeps the internet alive, and to lose it would devastate everyone
