as it stands, there will be a subcommittee about kosa, and all of its bills within the package this thursday.

call all of them now. repeat the process until thursday

the image shows all the members in the upcoming meeting. do not panic. and consider calling now.

alert influencers. fax them. email them (if that even works). just do anything to stop kosa from becoming law.

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!!

As of today, I'm gonna be officially (mostly) moving blogs! :3  You can now find me at @spiderrcakezzz

(ik it's the same username I previously had for this blog but Shh)

I won't be deleting this blog any time soon currently (since I'm pretty sentimental over it rn), so I plan to use it for stuff like stimboards and xenogender flags! :3

Hey, we've got another public comment period with a rapidly approaching deadline here in the United States! Short version is that the Department of Agriculture, which manages the U.S. Forest Service, has severely curtailed its obligation to public outreach and comment on its activities, to include timber sales and environmental impact reports. The foundation of a democracy is in the power of the voices of the people, and this decision circumvents our ability to give feedback on Forest Service decisions.

That means that it will be easier for the Forest Service to clearcut old-growth forests regardless of the ecological impact, and make it easier for profiteers to exploit the natural resources of these publicly owned lands. This decision was made to benefit the few, not the many, and it's blatantly obvious.

Starting the 13th, we will have an AI determine if we are children or not and if you are a child, than you are forced to send your ID, send a selfie or a credit card

This has the obvious cons of having your privacy being revoked from you and and in case there is a security breach, major identity thefts.

So what do we do in this scenario?

Well right now I have real idea as this is relativity new to me, but I do have two plans

Plan 1. Bug the shit out of them, send letters and send emails about how much of bad idea this is.

Include why the AI will mess up and target adults who watch cartoons, include privacy issues, censorship issues, anything you can think of that relates to this. I want you guys to bug the hell out of YouTube until they reverse this idea

Plan 2. Blackout.

Since the thing is coming out on the 13th.

The plan will be to completely avoid YouTube at all cost for that day, no watching, no sharing, no uploading, no nothing.

Download videos before things go down, watch Netflix. Whatever you do, don’t touch YouTube.

That’s all I can say right now, I also want you guys to let YouTubers know of this situation cause if it’s important for everyone on the website to talk about this immediately

this is extremely problematic for very obvious reasons and i have no idea what the fuck this country is fucking coming to

childline has also been restricted

if you're a uk citizen and still haven't signed the petition please do so

even if you're not a uk citizen please reblog to spread the word !!!!!
