It only too me three years but we finally have Braun!

Hello friends!

🍉I am Mahmoud Ayyad, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza 😭😭, coming from a family of young children, women and elderly ❤❤ who have been suffering😭😭 for 300 difficult days of an aggressive war. Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and difficult to obtain. There is no food, no water, no medicine.

So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we lost all our sources of livelihood.

Please do not leave my family to struggle and suffer these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. ❤❤🍉🍉

Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. But this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked by 90-ghost

KOSA update 7/25/24:

Well, unsurprisingly, KOSA passed the Senate procedural vote 86-1.

Proof:

Again, they still have to vote on the final passage & the House still has to vote on it as well.

So, focus on your House Representative now; Continue to call them & tell them to vote ‘No’ to KOSA. Remember: There is more opposition to KOSA in the House.

Spread this around. Don’t panic!

Keep calm & keep fighting!!

Them

This Bill Purports to Protect Kids from Big Tech. For LGBTQ+ Youth, It’s a Grave Danger

Those on the right have said they will use KOSA to target queer and trans content. So why do some Democrats support it?

it's "time to bother your Senators about stopping KOSA" o'clock again, because Schumer hasn't learned his damn lesson yet and is trying to get a floor vote on it this week

GIMMICKS I BEG

REBLOG THIS

@non-tyrannical-usa GET THE LIST PLEASE

🚨🚨🚨 KOSA being voted on in Senate THIS THURSDAY 7/25/2024

By now you probably have heard of KOSA, or the Kid's Online Safety Act. If not, a quick TLDR here: https://www.them.us/story/kids-online-safety-act-kosa-youth-lgbtq-content

Basically it is a mass censorship and surveillance bill being disguised as "child safety". Grassroots organizers have been fighting against this bill for two years, and now it's come to the point where it will likely pass the Senate unless we make a LOT of noise RN.

The best way to stop this bill is to go to https://www.stopkosa.com/ and use their call script to call your Senators and tell them to vote NO. After this, it goes to the House, and we need to show as much pushback as we can rn asap.

If KOSA passes, this will enable a possible future Trump presidency to go after any and every LGBT content online under the guise of "protecting kids from harm" exactly like they did with book bans. Except, it will be much, much worse.

(Source for the vote on thursday)

KOSA update 7/23/24:

Senator Schumer is growing desperate, He plans to bring two terrible bills—KOSA & COPPA 2.0, to the floor for a procedural vote as soon as this Thursday.

Proof: https://x.com/omaseddiq/status/1815706689619816860?s=46&t=yFN9Hf-JJHJ9o67VUawUqg

Spread this around. Do not panic—Call your two Senators & tell them to vote ‘No’ to both KOSA & COPPA 2.0!!

Keep calm & keep fighting!!

Some of yall needed to hear this

STOP KOSA(and cie) MASTERPOST 2024

Both KOSA and the Earn It Act bill are dangerous for the future of the Internet.

In a nutshell, KOSA would allow states to sue any websites that host content deemed “harmful” to minors. With such a vague wording, its expected that any NSFW stuff, educational ressources or LGBT content, will immediately be taken down if govts dont approve of it.

Plus, it will be made mandatory to use IDs to confirm your age when going online, to so called “protect kids” but all that will cause is a huge potential data breach and endanger more kids.

As for the Earn It Act bill, it would allow the governement to spy and filter out anything they dont like in private dms for any users,as well as blowing a hole into Section 230 : The thing that prevent websites from being directly liable in case a user post something illegal,instead of the user being punished directly. The comics I made about KOSA and Earn It Act are old but sadly still relevant. All the info you need are in this post.

EYES ON THE CALIFORNIA ONLINE AGE VERIFICATION BILL-AB3080

This is an ammendment to an already existing Californian law to prevent minors from purchasing items that are illegal to sell to minors, including alcohol, porn, tobacco, fireworks and the like. You can take a look at the most recent text here

Now, whats wrong with that ? It's important to protect minors!! Which is absolutely true!

However the issue here resides in the fact that websites selling such products will require adults to submit their ID to access their websites and purchase what they want.

And with data breaches being more and more frequent recently, this is a recipe for disaster.

It could also target sites such as Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans(etc) which, people already submit their credit card to buy what they want already.

This would give a huge blow to Californian businesses and have **a ripple effect on the Internet in the US since a lot of tech companies are within California.**

There needs to be a better privacy law before any age verification bills can be actually effective and properly protect minors and privacy for everyone.

Remember the UK age verification bill ? Minors are already in danger because of having to show their ID due to data leaks.

There are also many other issues with AB3080 that you NEED to keep in mind too :

No guarantee of personal privacy when submitting for Age verification when purchasing and ID protection after purchase. Who handles the ID? What ensures it is not held indefinitely, putting it at risk of a potential data breach?

The definition of what defines “harmful to minors” is too vague and overly broad to interpretation and could be abused and exploited in case of a political party change in California.

The 1/3rd provision is another over reach. Who will define what is porn? Are sales defined as direct sales or links to another site? It’s too broad and can be abused.

Fiscal impact has the potential of a loss of online sales tax revenue and drive businesses out of California.

Which is why, I AM URGING YOU TO CALL YOUR REPS AND TELL THEM TO VOTE NO !

Use this to contact your reps, it’s fast to use and there is a script for inspiration.

Find your reps:

https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/

Send faxes to your reps with this:

FaxZero.com

FaxZero.com

Send a fax to anywhere in the U.S. or Canada for free.

Make sure to emphasize this will be bad for the economy of California, especially since California is ona tight budget this year.

If you try to contact them and it doesnt work, that must be because you’re not in Cali, that's ok, as you should sitll make posts about this using the tags #AB3080 and #NoOnAB3080

Please also note, notorious anti-LGBTQIA religious groups are behind the authoring of the language of this bill, primarily NCOSE & EXODUS CRY.

PLEASE REBLOG !

Update on KOSA 6/20/24:

The holds on KOSA still remain thankfully, but it sounds like they’re going to tweak it so it can try passing through the Senate after the July break.

Proof:

While we’ve won the battle for now, the war is far from over.

Please spread this around.

Take a breather until Congress comes back after their two week break (July 8th), but keep fighting—Making noise is working so don’t stop!!

Hello all.

On the unfortunate topic of internet censorship bills, I'm afraid Canada is having its own version of KOSA being drafted.

action.openmedia.org

Tell your MP: Don't padlock the Internet!

🚨Urgent Action Needed! The House of Commons is debating Bill S-210, a dangerous proposal that locks up the Internet and sacrifices our priva

It isn't exactly like KOSA, nor have I had much time to research it, but i will broadly age-restrict the Internet in Canada.

I will make a post further detailing the effects later on today or tomorrow.
