Hoopla, Overdrive/Libby Now Banned for Those Under 18 in Mississippi

Public libraries in Mississippi have cut off access to digital platforms like Overdrive and Hoopla to those under 18.

I never want to hear conservatives go on about repressive censorship in China, North Korea, and Iran ever again

BAN KOSA !!!

I wanted to bring peoples attention to this since NO ONE has been talking about it.

In just 4 days, Congress will vote on a crucial bill known as KOSA, which poses a serious threat to the anime and manga community in the United States. Alongside the EARN IT act, this legislation has the potential to result in a complete ban on anime, manga, fanfics, and any mature content due to the vague classification of "gore and violence."

While the bill is being presented as a measure to protect minors, it is essential to understand that its implications go far beyond that. In reality, KOSA could lead to a blanket ban for all individuals, regardless of age. The bill claims to offer a way for adults to access content by confirming their age, but upon closer examination, it becomes evident that adult viewers will be at risk of having the content flagged and taken down.

This is an alarming development that requires immediate attention and action from the anime community. We cannot allow this bill to pass unnoticed, as it will undoubtedly have severe consequences for the freedom of expression and creativity within our community.

To make a difference, we urge you to take action and voice your opposition to KOSA. You can start by visiting the link provided: https://www.badinternetbills.com/. This website allows you to email your state representatives directly. Moreover, if you provide your phone number, you will receive a call that will conveniently connect you to all your representatives' offices. They will provide you with a script to read from, making it easy for you to express your concerns effectively.

It is crucial that we all unite and stand up against this threat. Last year, we narrowly escaped the passage of this bill, but it seems that Congress is making another attempt this year. By speaking up and making our voices heard, we can ensure that our rights to enjoy anime, manga, and creative works are protected.

PLEASE VOTE ON IT, it will take two seconds and it'll help. Thank you ya'll <3

If you can't vote, likes, reblogs, shares, ALL ARE APPRECIATED

Seattle Public Library is doing this awesome program called Books Unbanned that allows teens and young adults (ages 13-26) access to their collection of e-books and e-audiobooks from anywhere in the USA. All you need to do is fill out a simple form and you get their Books Unbanned card. Please share this information far and wide. I know they're not the only ones to have done this, but the more the merrier!

You were miserable for 12 hours without ao3?

Imagine a lifetime without it. The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) wants to censor/limit/delete fandom spaces like tumblr, tiktok, AO3!, wattpad, and others. Forever.

Stop KOSA
