The internet might be over.

I am not talking about the corporate, ad-filled internet. I mean the real one. The one you use to talk with your friends, find niche communities, and freely share ideas. The way you access and interact with the digital world is about to change forever if we don't speak up right now.

The U.S. House of Representatives just passed the KIDS Act. Do not let the well-intentioned name fool you. This massive legislative package is a wolf in sheep’s clothing that could potentially cause an unfathomable amount of damage to the privacy, security, and free speech of every single citizen in the United States.

Major civil liberties and digital rights organizations, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) are sounding the alarm. This bill is a massive over-reach of legislation designed to curtail your freedoms, everyones.

Under this bill, websites and apps will be pressured to verify the age of all users to avoid massive legal liability. This creates a de facto age-verification mandate, meaning you could soon be forced to upload government IDs, passports, or hand over biometric facial scans just to use standard apps or browse everyday websites. Forcing every corner of the web to collect and store these massive databases of citizen identity documents is an absolute cybersecurity nightmare waiting to happen, creating a golden target for hackers and data leaks.

The bill also takes direct aim at standard privacy features like disappearing or ephemeral messaging, treating basic digital privacy tools like dangerous design tricks rather than the digital equivalent of a private, real-world conversation. By weaponizing broad, vague definitions of "harmful content," the package pressures tech platforms to heavily over-censor completely lawful speech out of fear of massive government lawsuits. It risks sanitizing the internet and shutting down vital spaces for free expression and open communication.

This won't stop at signing up for websites, or chat apps. It will extend to artwork websites, multimedia hubs like Newgrounds, Music sites, even Reddit and 4chan will be subjected to this, and while you might think it's well deserved, you won't be saying that when they start asking users to verify their age on Mangadex or doujinshi sites, or on Itch io. Going to websites outside the US would be scrutinized if it doesn't follow the same criteria.

VPNs? Forget it, they'll try to outlaw those, too.

We all want children to be safe, but turning the entire internet into an Orwellian surveillance state where you have to show papers just to log on is a terrifying overreach. The bill has passed the House, which means the battleground is officially moving to the Senate. We cannot afford to sit this one out. This is a slippery slope and we must not give them this power over all of us.

Minecraft and Call of Duty community servers have been branded "illegal" and compared to the "black market" by the Entertainment Software Association

The comments came during a debate over preserving games after official servers shut down

[(Scrab) Detective Dove (takeover) @Red_Team_Gaming]

We’re not fucked yet! Get the names of everyone who voted YES and flood their inboxes. Tell them that they’re getting primaryed in the midterms if they don’t kill this bill in the Senate! #KilltheBill #HR7757 #KOSA

[DBL MP / Double @dbl_mp1]

SERIOUSLY call/email your senators and representatives DAILY. We cannot let this crap become law

[Naomi Brockwell priv/acc @naomibrockwell]

This is a Trojan horse that will eliminate privacy on the internet.

Why not make devices just for kids if you want to protect them? Why KYC every single person on the internet?

Because this is about control, not children.

[neonchaos711 @magiciandawn]

Bull.

Parental controls exist for the very thing you are too stupid to look into.

KIDS act is a surveillance bill masquerading as a way of keeping kids safe, just like the OSA. The only differences are the name and the country it's in.

[Livvyyapperz @LivvyPersonals]

[phone] Ask her to resign. She's not uploading our first and fourth amendment rights. Actively voting to censor and survey the internet.

NO TO KIDS ACT AND KOSA!

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

Reddit has started sending emails to users in the European Union about new age verification and privacy rules.

Starting June 24, 2026, Reddit may ask users it believes are under 18 to verify their age before they can access NSFW (18+) communities and content.

The update also introduces stricter privacy settings for teen accounts in the EU:

- Users aged 13–15 will have the highest privacy settings enabled and locked.
- Users aged 16–17 will have the same settings turned on by default, but they can change them later.

[BLM|RideDaArc🔞 @RaginMode]

OK people. Important to note the Kid Act pass the house with 117 no votes. Meaning a lot of people calling did work and it way to divisive of a bill still. Multiple ogs dislike it, be it for more senate or just dislike th4 bill entirely, along with the senate really hating it.

[𓆩❄️𓆪 ElfpireEva 𓆩❄️𓆪 @EElfpireVT]

I'll keep doing this until I'm blue in the face (I'm a vampire, that'll never happen I don't need to breath).

It's not about protecting kids, it never was, it never will be- I'll gladly stand corrected when I see legislation that ACTUALLY aims to protect children but so far that acts as a red flag more than anything else.

The Senate needs to stop this bill.

[King Cold Gaming @kingcoldgaming1]

For everyone worried about KIDS Act’s and KOSA, here are some helpful links to help calm you down. We should all remain vigilant and worried but it’s not as clear cut as some might think:

1) There is significant opposition to both House and Senate versions (free speech / privacy concerns)
Links:
- ACLU (KOSA opposition; urges House to protect free speech):
https://t.co/3Hcx3xqAUr
- NetChoice (flags First Amendment concerns with the House KIDS Act):
https://t.co/lzqsPEEgVb
- EFF (opposition letter to KOSA; duty-of-care / surveillance concerns):
https://t.co/ImK4FWWvmT
Multiple major civil-liberties and privacy orgs oppose these bills for similar core reasons: chilling lawful speech and pressuring platforms into intrusive compliance.

2) Senate sponsors/co-authors have indicated the House version is “dead on arrival” (they don’t view it as acceptable)
Link:
- The Hill (explains the House-Senate mismatch and quotes Senate co-authors viewing House approach as nonstarter):
https://t.co/R9vfBisLVB
Even after House action, there’s meaningful disagreement between chambers. That mismatch tends to create delays, negotiations, and narrowing.

3) Even in the Senate, passage is not automatic; the bill could stall or fail because of internal disagreement
Link:
- The Hill (same article: “long odds,” why the Senate path is difficult):
https://t.co/R9vfBisLVB
When Senate authors publicly resist the House version, the practical effect is that a final bill must be reworked, something that can stall or collapse.

4) Similar “kids online”/age-check/duty-of-care style laws have already been treated as constitutionally risky in court, so lawsuits and injunction fights are very likely if a federal version becomes law
Links (examples of litigation challenging similar approaches on First Amendment grounds):
- NetChoice v. Griffin (Arkansas age verification / minors online litigation record via Justia):
https://t.co/spdUAJx40g
- NetChoice v. Griffin (court filing materials, via CourtListener recap):
https://t.co/Lwd5FgDmPW
- NetChoice v. Yost (Ohio parental notification / related First Amendment challenge PDF):
https://t.co/MdEcbilzOu
- NetChoice v. Skrmetti (Tennessee age-related minors online issues; includes preliminary-injunction posture):
https://t.co/9rqvJecEvq
So, courts have already enjoined or closely scrutinized similar laws. That’s strong “pattern evidence” that any federal version with comparable mechanics would face serious constitutional litigation.

[ArceusBowser @ArceusBowser212]

The KIDS Act violates our 1st and 4th Amendment rights, censors the internet for the party in charge to eliminate speech they don't like, and allows them to trace the speech directly back to people instead of being anonymous, because you'd have to scan your ID to gain access.
