Do Lawmakers Even Know How Stupid KOSA Truly Is As A Bill, If Not Dangerous. Think About It: Having To

Do lawmakers even know how stupid KOSA truly is as a bill, if not dangerous. Think about it: having to give ID containing SENSITIVE INFORMATION (literally against Internet Safety 101) just to go on the internet. Being a minor having to do that is so dangerous and would put them in more danger at the hands of predators.

People who have to use the internet for educational uses will have to go through stupid, unneeded steps just to look up the purpose of the mitochondria!

Trans and Queer youth are in danger. Fandom spaces are in danger. Children, the very group of people that this bullshit bill is claiming to protect, are in DANGER!

The States having full monopoly over the internet is so, so ungodly stupid and dystopian. I can’t imagine being someone not from the States and having to witness all of this.

The bill doesn’t protect kids, it only puts them in more danger.

CALL YOUR REPS! SIGN PETITIONS! KEEP KOSA TRENDING! LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING!

THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR ALL OF US! NOT JUST A SELECTIVE!

SIMILAR BILLS HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE AND BEEN STOPPED THANKS TO THE INTERNET! LET’S DO THAT AGAIN!

STOP KOSA!

hello brothers and sisters you’re probably well aware of what kosa is after this point, but if you don’t, it’s a bill that is going to be r

IMPORTANT.

WELL, SHIT.

So, Kosa is almost certainly going to pass the Senate, almost entirely just as bad and censorious as it ever was, but, that just means we need to take the fight to The House of Representatives, because that's where it's going now.

So, find your reps' numbers here and call them ASAP.

And this is bipartisan too, it's not just the Dems that might be swayed against this due to the well documented threats to LGBTQ people it presents, I'm sure even the right-wingers would not be happy to sign on a bill that's likely to lead to government-mandated facial scans for everyone using the net., along with the encroachment of actual big-government on our freedom of speech.

So, call now, call often, and if you want a further follow-through on this, there's a discord server organizing to fight this that you can join here.

And of course, as per usual, I make this poster available under a CC0 Public Domain License for anyone to use, complete with added QR-codes for use in actual physical prints. Now hop to it!

//just a warning that as an adult who rarely shares any information online about their age or identity i may be banned from tumblr because of kosa

this is awful, and please call your officials to help stop it

reblog this post, spread awareness

kosa will prevent the viewing of sexual health care, including abortions. this alone could harm so many teens who need this information, for their own reasons

kosa will prevent trans children from companionship and friendship online. they will be unable to see any content about the lgbtqiap+ community, which could very well result in their deaths

kosa will stop people from seeing content related to gaza and palestein, ukraine and other information about wats that are important

kosa will prevent children from accessing fandom spaces like tumblr, ao3 and other places

call your officials, spread awareness, reblog posts

we dont have much time

Important

KOSA is coming back and it has gotten more support than ever. The bill has recently gained support from companies such as Twitter, Snapchat, and Microsoft. If this bill continues to gain more and more bipartisan support, the chances of it passing are going to increase. If this bill passes, everyone’s private information is going to be at a high risk and, depending on which state you’re in, very important topics are going to be wiped off of the face of the internet and free speech won’t be an option.

Please, call your senators, send your senators an email, or send a physical letter to your senators. We need to continue fighting and put an end to this dogshit bill.
