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.

•KOSA UPDATE + CALL SCRIPT (Made the April 11, 2024)
•When contacting your reps, you may also add that they should support better bills that will make kids (and anyone) safer by focusing on data privacy legislations instead of KOSA • Contact Congress through here https://www.stopkosa.com/ • House Energy and Commerce are the best to contact for the hearing of 17th April 2024 https://energycommerce.house.gov/representatives (the link doesnt work properly so you'll need to head to the site and select "Members" to find them)
• Find all your Congresspeople here http://badinternetbills.com/
• Find your House representative here https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative •Never forget to make tweets, posts, tiktoks, or use any social media you can think of to talk about this : Spreading the word will be crucial. As always, if you wish to help us fight against bad inetrnet bills,and have the latest infos about KOSA, consider joining our Discord server (if not, please just share it around) • https://discord.gg/pwTSXZMxnH
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:
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.

Funny thing is you can’t tell who’s who. Like, you could debate in circles about this and I find that fucking hilarious.
Ninjago season 1 is so funny bc it’s like 2 normal teenage boys then the most autistic looking individuals you will ever meet in your fucking life
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
PSA to any nonhumans/otherkin/voidpunks who want a fang piercing to affirm themselves!!!
Do NOT do this:
This is a “smiley” piercing (a horseshoe bar through the frenulum); fang bars are NOT proper jewelry to wear in them! Their size and shape can increase the risk of gum recession and tooth chipping (and are at a higher risk of being torn out by mistake!), plus they’re difficult to live with when it comes to eating, drinking, and sleeping.
Do this instead:
These are vertical angel bites (AKA “angel fangs”), using a standard curved barbell with a spike on the bottom. They don’t extend into the oral cavity at all, which means your teeth won’t be damaged and there’s a lesser risk of injury. This piercing is also easier to live with so you can keep your fangs full-time (as long as the spikes you use aren’t TOO long, I’d recommend 3 to 4 mm).
Pls remember to affirm yourselves safely (especially with body modification), and only wear jewelry that’s meant to safely go in your piercing! 💕
(This is a safe space for MOGAI, otherkin, voidpunk, and nonhuman identities! Any offending or bigoted comments will be deleted and blocked. Please be respectful in the comments!!)
