I don’t normally talk explicitly about stuff outside of aftg but I’m asking you to sign this potion to stop KOSA. It’s a bill that will harm a lot of children and restrict the rights of all Americans (I’m bad at explaining read up on it if your confused others word it a lot better than I can)
HEY EVERYONE THE KOSA ACT JUST GOT ENOUGH VOTES TO BE PASSED THROUGH SENATE!!! IT STILL NEEDS TO GO THROUGH A VOTE IN THE SENATE, BUT SUPPORTERS OF THE BILL HAVE CALLED THIS A MAJOR AMOUNT OF PROGRESS FOR THE BILL TO BE LAW. PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS ABOUT THE CHANGES TO THE ACT AND OTHER RELATED INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT THIS BILL WILL MEAN.
The KOSA Act is a controversial bill that was proposed, known as the "TikTok Ban Bill," but affecting much more. The bill makes it so children under sixteen cannot go on the internet without some disturbing content being censored or outright blocked. Unfortunately, this means kids could be blocked from livesaving information on how to deal with abuse or similar topics. LGBTQ+ activists also worried that the way it was worded could make it possible for senators to censor gender or sexuality information, but in the newest revision this was corrected, although it would still allow federal and state officials to regulate online content for kids. It also would result in invasive age restrictions for apps that are unconstitutional, possibly needing birth certificates or IDs.

I cannot stress enough how dangerous KOSA is.
killing safe spaces endangers people's lives. many minors and people in marginalized groups losing online friends and spaces can and will kill many people's happiness and in the worst case, the will to live.
I personally keep going because of my online friends. I will lose them if KOSA passes.
this is the same case for many minors (and adults) online.
censoring sexual health will be terrible for many. if there are people out there having sex without knowing the proper safety precautions to take to prevent injury/illness, it will be massively horrific.
all outcry for a ceasefire in Palestine and activism will be censored to oblivion.
if there are people who live in unsafe households, they might never be able to find safety until they become adults, which is far too late.
KOSA is a sick attempt to make the internet a place where there are few ways to be safe.
stop KOSA. it will literally save fucking lives.
sign petitions to stop it. please. spread awareness.

i just wanted to say somethings about KOSA
my girlfriend doesnt have a phone, i either use tumblr with dms or emails (which isnt that often)
i already have a very limited internet access, even just being able to touch tumblr is better than before i found tumblr.
my parents are very strict with my electronics, due to past mistakes. and if they get to see what i am doing, it would make this way worse. i already have major trust issues with them, and the fact they would be able to see everything. i get scared just by me drawing some characters. scared theyre going to do... something.
if kosa gets passed then i might fall out of my fandoms. some of my fandoms im in is the community that i love. sure i like the source material, but the community makes it way better.
this is dangerous
even if we are children, we are smarter than you think. we know how to do things. we know right from wrong. we will make mistakes, but we have to learn. fuck, thats one of the major themes of one of my main stories!
stop kosa.
i dunno, i dont make these types of posts, but the world is fucked up, and the internet is how i find my happiness.

The reason why causes like the fight against KOSA don't go anywhere is because you fuckers give up too quickly.
You see one advancement from that damned bill and drop your sword and say that it's over.
Wake the fuck up.
If we don't keep fighting, even if it's gone silent for a while, that shit's gonna go through without us even knowing. Fight tooth and nail. Show them that we can and will beat their asses if they don't straighten up. And don't just say we will. Actually do something if it does pass. They think we'll take this sitting down and will just lay there. We need to prove them wrong.
But if we don't get on their asses and lay down like cowards, they'll think they have power. You bitches who say "it was a good run" or "I can't do anything so we're fucked" are part of the problem.
KOSA and KOSA adjacent bills blatantly violate several amendments in the US constitution. People need to realize that.
And if you don't think you have a voice or can't stop it in any way, yes you can. Do research on your rights, don't just get your info from Tumblr or wherever else. Go on and search on your own. Especially if it's something you've seen and you're unsure if it's true.
Misinformation can murder a cause.
You can do things, you just need to find a group.
And don't just keep KOSA online. Tell people you know. Make them care. If they think it's a good idea, change their minds. Don't "agree to disagree."
And don't just not care because you've lost faith. You can still try. And if peace doesn't work, get physical. Get dirty. We've done it for causes like Palestine, we can do it for this.* (read the tags for my elaboration on that- i don't want people getting the wrong idea.)
Organize. Attack. Scream. Make them hear you. Because if we don't, they're gonna take full control.
Just wanted to take a moment to say that if KOSA passes on the 26th, it won't be a law yet. It is in the senate, and will still need to pass in the house. If KOSA passes on the 26th, do not panic, simply start contacting your representatives in the house en masse to tell them to oppose KOSA.
GET KOSA TRENDING.
STOP SCROLLING NOW!
AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.
WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON'T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.
I'M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.

In regards to KOSA:
While it is true that Congress does return from recess Feb. 26th, that doesn’t automatically mean they’ll immediately jump into voting.
The bill only has enough support to pass the Senate—it’ll most likely stall at the House; both due to it having much less support there & how disorganized the House currently is. Even if it does pass—God forbid, the President would have to sign it for it to be official and even then, it’ll likely take several months before it goes into effect.
…That being said, please continue to call both your Senators & especially your House representative; We still don’t even have a concrete date for a vote—You can visit the website pictured to even see for yourself.
Please spread this around. Don’t panic, We still have time!!!
So good news, there are info that KOSA won’t be voted until the 13 of march
That means we have more time, sign petitions call your senators and representatives or whoever and tell them to vote no for it.
It goes against everything of our first amendment and since people complain about guns being in our rights they can’t take away our freedom, our privacy. This stupid bull will not help anyone especially with children who are stuck in abusive homes. Also it affects not only the USA but everyone in the world
Do what ever you can, I really hope that we won’t lose, that I won’t lose my friends, my years of work so let’s get this bill shredded! And remember if it does pass the house we still got time when it goes to House! Do whatever you can!
I would like to keep eating so let's not have this passed alright gang
(Not tagging bcs I dont really know a mutuals and don't wanna annoy them)
(But this seriously sucks please call yalls)

KOSA COULD BE VOTED ON IN THE SENATE VERY SOON!

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!!
