WE NEED TO DRIVE AS MANY CALLS AS WE CAN TO THE HOUSE OVER THE COURSE OF THIS WEEKEND

So they're forcing in gutting parts of Section 230 into a must pass spending bill - the NDAA. This is how the Tiktok ban passed too, btw.

How insidious!! They call these horrific bills these kinds of names so no one sounds like an asshole when they speak against them.

[alpha @omarsbigsister]

Literally none of these viral posts matter if action isn't taken. If you want digital ID and age verification to not go forward in the US, you have to actually do something other than hit the like button.

202-224-3121 connects you to your lawmakers. Mass pressure works.

[alpha @omarsbigsister]

Your tweets and retweets aren't going to do shit. Pressure matters if you want to stop KOSA. Why do you think it hasn't passed yet? Because we used https://t.co/iPxvmaorsX to call representatives and put pressure on them not to pass it. But we NEED all hands on deck.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

Congress is scrambling right now to pass online identity checks to use the internet—just like we’re seeing in places like the UK—before anyone realizes what they’re doing.

They’re using “protecting kids” as their excuse, but it’s really about spying on and controlling Americans!

[alpha @omarsbigsister]

Wow.

So the KIDS Act that the House is voting on soon creates a new federal agency that gets to decide how age verification and digital ID works.

No congressional vote needed anymore. Whoever the Republicans & Trump choose to sit on this agency dictate how the internet works.

[DBL MP / Double @dbl_mp1]

Yes, forcing users to upload an ID in order to speak online is a violation of the First Amendment.

No, it’s not to “protect kids” like some keep trying to claim.

[alpha @omarsbigsister]

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.

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

“Adult websites” will soon mean the entire internet

[Matthew Green @matthew_d_green]

I’m watching how quickly age verification is becoming a part of every policy proposal. None of this is about age, it’s all ultimately about identity.

[alpha @omarsbigsister]

🚨🚨🚨
KOSA IS MOVING FORWARD IN THE HOUSE

It's part of a package called the KIDS Act, filled with digital ID and age verification and censorship.

MAKE THOSE PHONES RING!! CALL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES ALL WEEK

I hope people can wake up and see what this is really about: controlling access to information. The internet democratized access to news and information, and people in power do not want that!

[Hanner @GangstHannah]

I've even seen mutuals be like Oh, it'll be fun to go back to pre Internet life.

It's not pre Internet, I know I was there. This will be nothing like the 90's because you'll be surveilled everywhere and whatever you do.

Your cars and phones will spy on you too.

[Hanner @GangstHannah]

Pay attention to the fact that governments are passing laws to end online anonymity, while also greatly limiting freedom of information laws.

It should be the opposite: Politicians actions should be 100% transparent and our privacy should be off limits

We need to fight this!

Correction: Big Tech has EAGERLY ENDORSED EVERY CENSORSHIP BILL OUT THERE

Because it’s gonna give them so. Much. power.

Ending Sec 230 will
—lock Big Tech in as the only viable hosts on the internet
—give them infinite access to everyone’s personal data

Tell the publishers to stop blocking @waybackmachine 🚫🕳️ https://t.co/VMXFADgTf3

[Internet Archive @internetarchive]

As high-profile websites vanish, it’s a reminder that the web has no built-in archival layer.

But some publishers are now blocking the Wayback Machine.

What’s at stake if the web stops being archived? Our new FAQ explains: preserving the public record matters. 🌐📚 https://t.co/fifJnv3xiu

Once again, repealing Section 230 erases the internet overnight. It's the one law that allowed social media to exist, written in 1996. A law gutting or even somewhat gutting Section 230 is probably the biggest threat to the internet that has ever existed

[Free Talk Live @FreeTalkLive]

You have every right to know what your government is doing, and they have no right to know what you are doing.

That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens.

Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement, and behavior.

A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.

[alpha @omarsbigsister]

When you're so anti-Big Tech you got Microsoft, Twitter, Meta, OpenAI, and Reddit all endorsing your bill.

The companies who are notoriously against every single type of regulation that exists somehow are all supporting this "pro-regulation" bill.
