Stop Spreading Misinformation

Stop Spreading Misinformation

UPDATE: My original post was wrong, and I apologize for the irony. I deleted the misinformed text.

KOSA is not being voted on March 13-16. That is a lie and I have no clue who came up with that. We do not know when KOSA will be voted on.

Thanks to this post, I realized KOSA is on the Senate Calendar of Business (source). Here it is filed under "General Orders." According to the Senate's official site, that means it is "eligible for Senate floor consideration" (source), which requires a "unanimous consent request" or "a motion to proceed" to happen (source). Thus, we don't know when the bill will be voted and there is no specific date as to when.

Regardless of how much time we have left, remember to go to badinternetbills.com. Call and email your senators and reps. Here is a post with more resources, including scripts for calling and emailing.

The fight isn't over. Do not let KOSA pass.

KOSA Won't Just Effect Americans

I got a question on my recent update post about KOSA from someone who isn't American asking what they could do to help. Which has prompted me to make this post to clarify/add something that I completely glossed over in the previous post.

KOSA won't just effect Americans.

If this bill passes, it will effect every single website and social media platform that is based in America. meaning facebook, instagram, yooutube, twitter, tumblr, AO3, fanfiction.net

And as we know, these sites are used by not just ppl in America, but also ppl from all over the world.

Which means regardless of what country you live in, if you use any of these sites, ANYTHING that you post on any of these sites or any message that you send through these sites will be subject to censorship or even strait up deletion or maybe even legal trouble if KOSA passes.

And this will also effect any American based charity website or informational/activism related websites regarding lgbtqia rights, history, history of palestine, historical archives like the wayback machine, ect.

Basically any website that has info or resources the government doesn't want you to know about

So no. being in a different country or using a VPN and pretending you're in a different country won't save/help you.

And like I said in my last post, America isn't the only place trying to pull this stunt. Last year the UK passed a bill that is very similar to KOSA and Germany and France may or may not be looking to follow suit.

So what can you do as a non American to help? simple! Spread the word anyway! if you know anyone that is American and is currently living in America, tell them about KOSA. warn them. let your online and IRL American friends know and share the resources I'll be linking again below cuz we need as many people making as much noise on this as possible and to spread awareness. this site is pretty much the only place I haven't been extreamly suppressed and largly ignored when trying to bring awareness to KOSA

Stop KOSA Movement's linktree with more actions

If you wanna protect AO3 or character ai. Or Wattpad. Or Tumblr. Or discord. Or even the right for undocumented people and minors to use the fucking Internet reblog this I swear to God. Reblog this and reblog as many KOSA posts as you can go on their website and contact your Representatives. Do it. Do it. Do it.

Posting this separately, so that people understand more the history of the Palestinian cities' names.
