KOSA/the kids online safety act has been reintroduced into legislature after it passed Senate last year and then got snubbed. It is not unlike the bill that just passed in the UK a few weeks ago. If you don't want what happened in the UK to happen here, now would be a good time to vocally oppose it.

Here is a petition that can be signed by Americans. Attached to the petition is an easy tool that allows you to call and leave messages for your representatives. I have already done so. You can also email your representatives by searching for their name, most have message submission boards as well. This thing died once, it can die again.

The bill was reintroduced May 2025 by sen. Blumenthal.

i was gonna make a whole uhhhh thing full of these two ☝️☝️☝️ended up never really finishing it 😁😁😁😁though

ever since that right wing religious extremist organization Collective Shout targeted and manipulated payment processors (that are already run by right wing nutjobs) to go after steam and itchio, all this shit is starting to happen at the same time

it may be a tactical "overwhelm bomb" to make people feel powerless, and yeah it may not be that, but it's kinda strange that it's happening all at once

regardless, people need to start calling the shit out of mastercard and visa's phone lines even more

yall in the US need to start calling your representatives about KOSA especially

and people in the EU need to start calling whatever equivalent of a representative they have about all this bullshit as well

companies are now going to start trying to capitalize on invading privacy that has literally been protected for so goddamn long all because of these evil fuckwads that honestly need to get a nail put through their skulls
