The KIDS Act has passed the House of Snakes with 69.5% of the vote (2/3 vote required) and moves to the Senate.
This was closer than expected. Begin contacting your senators NOW and tell them to vote NO. We'll provide resources ASAP, but don't wait.
And by far the most dangerous and reckless package of bills everyone has ever seen by far. Everyone hates the KIDS Act and you literally have a lot of politicians also hate the bill as well.
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.
KOSA IS COMING BACK.
There's Gonna Be A Massive Censorship For Anti-Trump, Anti-Ice, Even LGBTQ.
AND WE NEED TO USE AN I.D TO USE ALMOST ANY SOCIAL MEDIA.
In Order To Stop This, Go To This Website.

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA! https://t.co/aeTqRQVGDs
I agree with you that I’m like 50% certain it’s not going to pass but like, in this current political climate we’re in it would be smart to still call those reps. It has proven to work in the past
I apologize for sounding annoying, but this is the most important thing we need to pay attention to, this is gonna determine our future and how we use our internet.
Please, call, email, do whatever you can and whatever it takes.
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
We have a little over 24 hours to save the internet. The vote is being rushed to the US House floor on Monday the 29th.
"Buried inside the KIDS Act are provisions that will push online services to verify all users’ ages, require government-directed moderation policies for online speech, and even create new rules about private and encrypted communications." -- EFF https://t.co/4vVQcYPDct
The bill has bipartisan support and large corporate donors, who all have a vested interest in eroding your privacy and freedom of speech. Similar bills have already passed in other countries and individual states and led to ID scanning mandates, faulty AI moderation, the removal of encrypted messaging, etc.
If passed, some platforms will require ID scans from all users, some may try to deploy faulty 'estimation' technology that will randomly trigger and cause your accounts to be either permanently deleted or locked until you fork over an ID. These systems have been a disaster where deployed in other regions and led to many account losses and data breaches.
