There hasn’t been a set date for the vote of The Kids Act, the bill package that has 14 internet bills such as KOSA, by the Senate. Regardless of this, please continue to call your Senators and tell them to oppose the Kids Act to protect Internet Privacy and the access to the Internet.

The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee will take up the bill and discuss about it in the First week of August, I believe the 3rd of August (from what I heard). Call daily to your senators. Some senators are part of the committee, this will help when it’s in the Committee floor.

Tt user Omarbigsister has more in-depth information about KOSA, as well as a beacons (similar to linktree) in their bio which has a helpful website BadInternetBills.com, that can help you email and call your senators. As well as a google doc that has call scripts if you are unsure on what to say.

You can also use the 5 calls app, which can help you reach your representatives and senators more quickly. As well as give you information on other bills outside of KOSA and the Kids Act.

TT user princeofcloudcity, also has more information on KOSA, as well as the other bills in the Kids Act.

I just want to be what someone wants and needs.

I want someone to care enough to do what I do.

Can you please let everyone know about this? Please?

⭐️🇺🇸 It says that they are targeting 8/3/2026 for a markup on kosa/age verfication bills. 🇺🇸⭐️

🚨REMINDER THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL YET! 🚨

I have heard this news already. They are considering it for then. There is a difference between official and considering.

I will keep my eye on it to see if they make that date official or not. Until then, keep watch, guys!

I think people also often forget that power dynamics don't always fully favor the customer, and sometimes power dynamics can be tilted in the favor of the customer service worker and subsequently abused. Able bodied customer service workers can be, and often are, ableist to disabled customers. White customer service workers can be, and often are, racist towards customers of color. Customer service workers who are men can be, and often are, sexist towards customers who are women. Customer service workers who are non-immigrants can be, and often are, xenophobic towards immigrant customers. Shall I go on? That's obviously not an exhaustive list and I could very well go on.

When I worked retail I had a co-worker scream at a little old lady and kick her out of the store because she spoke to him in a language he didn't speak. I saw her face as she was leaving and she looked so shaken up like she was about to cry. I've overheard so many of my co-workers calling customers racial slurs behind their back. Once again, I could go on, but I feel like my addition here is already getting long enough.
