This is what it's like when they move a data center in your neighborhood.

This is EXACTLY what we’ve been warning about when datacenter proponents have been saying “it’s ok - it’s closed loop - it won’t affect the water”

KEEP PUSHING FOR ALL DATA CENTRES TO BE ABANDONED

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸 Congress just passed a bill that could force you to upload your ID or scan your face to use the internet.

It is called the KIDS Act, and almost nobody wants to vote against protecting children online.

That is exactly the problem.

Last week the House passed it 267 to 117. It bundles 14 digital safety bills together, anchored by a revised version of the Kids Online Safety Act.

The bill says it does not require age verification. It even includes a disclaimer saying so.

The catch is one clause away. Platforms get held liable if they "knew or should have known" a user was a minor.

That is a low bar. It means a regulator decides after the fact whether a company should have figured out someone was 15. No platform wants to gamble on that, so the safe move is to just verify everyone.

Here is where "protect the kids" quietly flips. To prove you are not a minor, you have to prove you are an adult. Driver's licenses, passports, or a facial scan to log on.

The net does not catch children. It catches all of us.

Then there is the security problem. Force millions of people to upload IDs everywhere, and somebody ends up sitting on a giant pile of passport scans and face data.

The Tea app showed how it goes. It required a selfie and a government ID, promised to delete them right after, and did not. In July 2025, about 13,000 of those IDs and selfies leaked onto 4chan, some still carrying GPS data that let someone map where users lived.

The KIDS Act would mandate that exact collection across the whole internet.

Kids do run into real harm online, and wanting to fix that is fair. But this fix builds a surveillance system that touches every adult. Rep. Thomas Massie called it a Trojan horse bill.

It now heads to the Senate. The real question is simple. Is protecting kids online worth building an internet where everyone has to prove who they are just to log on?

KOSA Is Back & They’re Silencing Those Speaking Up

KOSA is back, it passed the House, and now the Senate gets another shot at doing what this government does best: pretending to protect kids while handing censors, lobbyists, and unelected bureaucrats more power over what the public is allowed to say and see online.

If you think that sounds dramatic, I am literally being silenced on TikTok for speaking out about it.

Please stand up and make some noise while there’s still time.

[DBL MP / Double @dbl_mp1]

It literally cannot be more obvious that this bill is pro-big tech and anti-kid’s safety.

Our politicans are throwing EVERYONE’S safety and Constitutional Rights under the bus for a paycheck from Big Tech comps.

[PokémasterChaz99 @PChaz99]

the senates on break til the 13th...while it has failed to pass the senate before the congress is getting more aggressive about it because they are getting scared about people fighting against this so they've been fully pushing it through the house 1/2.

[Reclaim The Net @ReclaimTheNetHQ]

The House just passed the KIDS Act, 267 to 117. To "protect kids," platforms would make everyone verify their age by handing over a government ID or getting their face scanned. It's in the Senate now.

We have a few tools to help people push back...

[Josh Humble @joshhumble]

EVERYONE call their Senators. These dictators in The House can't be permitted to continue.

Big Tech lobbying and sponsoring the bill that's supposed to be regulating them

[✦ ղҽkօ { ねこ } ✝️ @phantaneko]

Is it me or is the timing of the KIDS Act passing the House & heading to Senate next week oddly coincidental considering that the 4th of July is coming up and they're banking on Americans to be distracted to even care?

Some food for thought.

Undoubted PROOF (KIDS ACT) was PAID for by Over 120 major tech, telecom, and media companies 🚨🚨🚨file lobbying occurred on a single bill 2024-2025⚠️⚠️⚠️

⚠️they are not reading it. They are negotiating the text. Lobbying disclosures on a bill mean those companies submitted markups, drafted amendments, met with committee staff, and traded provisions behind closed doors. They bought their way into the drafting room.🚨🚨🚨🚨

This is textbook regulatory capture.🚨🚨

⚠️⚠️It looks like companies funding the bill, hired the lobbyists who drafted the language, working with the legislators who sponsor it, and voting it through before the opposition can read it. The KIDS Act is a consolidated package. H.R. 7757 is the container. S.1409 is the engine. The companies in the screenshot paid for it…

The lobbying database confirms the money trail.

We need more people calling out this act of treason!

Kill this along with KOSA

[Hotcheesecakes (Clippy) @BLkhoih96132]

if you hate the KIDS act. You should act now if you're in Texas. SCOPE act and app store accountability act is the KIDS act; the two acts demand IDs to use social media and use the app store
