What if we both have daddy issues and parental hang-ups, what then?

Had to scrunch up this one for Tumblr.

You might have seen that a bill package including the notorious Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) passed out of the House in a rushed vote last week.1 This bill and many of its counterparts would lock large swaths of the Internet behind invasive online ID checks and threaten our ability to speak out online.2 This is far from the end of the road. And calls and messages from people like you have made a huge impact. We’ve been fighting these bills for years, and I can tell you with certainty that the tide is turning. Legislators are shifting, fearmongering “kids safety” arguments are losing their grip, and we’re building a strong, diverse movement of people refusing censorship. KOSA is not yet law, and with the House and Senate disagreeing on fundamental provisions, we have a critical opportunity to build momentum against this legislation and other nonsensical Bad Internet Bills that threaten to kill the Internet as we know it. Now’s the time to dig in. Call and tell your lawmakers how you feel about the KIDS Act passing. Then, check out our brand new Bad Internet Bills tracker, where you can take targeted action against all the most dangerous bills threatening encryption, free expression, and community online.

KEEP UP THE FIGHT

P.S. If you believe in our anti-censorship work and can spare the cost of a coffee per month toward the fight, we’d so appreciate it.

From now until the Senate vote, This period of time is our last chance to stop KOSA.

Upset at Discord and Youtube's age verification policies? If KOSA passes, your alternatives to these sites will be affected too. You would not be able to avoid it, not unless you decide to leave social media entirely, which many people cannot do. You would have to choose between privacy and access to your accounts. All is NOT lost, but our hope relies on calls, petitions, emails. I cannot stress enough how important these next few months are. Every call made in the next few months is for the future of the online world. If you have struggled to find time to make a script, or don't know what to say, use 5 Calls. They give you a script to use while calling. People have also provided other scripts. @daytimemin for example has a document with scripts.
