🚨KOSA is back, House pushing a massive pro-age verification package. Pushback needed ASAP
So long story short, I'm sure everyone knows what KOSA is. Age verification and mass censorship bill. If you are against Chat Control, against the Online Safety Act (UK), and what Australia is doing, you HAVE to speak out against this bill too.
There is a committee hearing tomorrow, Dec 2, in the House about KOSA & other age verification bills.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee is adding it to a 19-bill package filled with other bills that explicitly mandate age verification and censorship. They are rushing this package forward in hopes of attaching it to the must-pass end of year NDAA. And in all honesty, it's the 18 other bills this time that are more dangerous. They are explicitly age verification bills (not all of them, but most). If they fail at adding it to the NDAA, the package can still be passed and it would still be massively dangerous.
KOSA had some language changes that both House and Senate hates, but it being attached to these other bills is so massively dangerous. I really can't emphasize enough that the threat right now is the entire package and must be opposed as we speak.
The subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade is holding this hearing. This is a list of all the subcommittee members: https://energycommerce.house.gov/committees/subcommittee/Commerce.
CALL THEM. Tell them to oppose it. Call BOTH parties. There is a call script here aimed at both GOP and Democrat here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IyBUe6frFGF44rJQU3TahZ5zyG3tC7jai_hPneAKlnM/edit?tab=t.0. Use both scripts. We need bipartisan pushback.
Fight for the Future is having a week of action against Age Verification as well. You can sign petitions and call congressional members here: https://fftf.link/WeekofAction
And lastly, PLEASE PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE!!! WE NEED AS MUCH ACTION ASAP!!
tldr; KOSA is back and worse. the House has added it to a 19-bill pro-age verification package and is hoping to ram it through before the end of the year by potentially adding it to a must-pass spending bill, the NDAA. We can defeat this package but ONLY if all hands on deck are used.
