NetChoice is offering a much clearer, more practical, and better option for internet safety here! They are an organization suing age verification bills! (their Wikipedia page) (A mention of the on the age verification Wikipedia) It’s important we show that we do want internet safety and show what the real solutions are as well as why age verification and censorship is not and never will be the solution. Remember the ACLU and EFF and FFTF all oppose these bad internet bills too!

Bitview has yet to be targeted and has he same UI as old YT

Make sure you annoy YT, Visa, and Mastercard about how all of this is a bad idea, and also call up firms such as the ACLU, NetChoice, and, the EFF for further assistance.

Stay safe everyone

30 Years of 230: Do 26 Words Protect You From Censorship Online? - NetChoice

Nice find a very informative read! 👍

This is a very nice message, and it explains the history and original 26 words of Section 230 versus the modern revised version very well!

Original 26 words of the Section 230 bill:

“No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”

The revised words of Section 230 as of 2026:

“No provider of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of— any action taken in good faith to restrict access to material the provider considers obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected.

What both mean:

This means that if a user posts something defamatory on an online service, the service and other users can not generally be held liable as the publisher of that statement, with some exceptions. The responsibility is solely on the user, and that is how it should be!

(It also provides what is not protected under Section 230, which are certain illegal actions/content on the internet. That makes sense!)

Section 230 is very important! Without it, we literally would not even have the internet! YET, our government is trying desperately to take it away and destroy our online world!

⭐️THIS IS DANGEROUS! Please, if you haven't already call, fax, and email your reps! Sign petitions and start protests! Our online rights are being dismantled one by one, and we need to fight back!⭐️

(Thank you, @devildog452 , for this article :) 👍❤️! This was a very good read and informative about the history of Section 230 and why it is important!)

Senate Lawmakers Appear Opposed to Full Section 230 Repeal

GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information | Tom's Hardware

And something from Netchoice!

NetChoice Amicus Brief In Support of Meta at the U.S. Supreme Court in Meta v. Vermont - NetChoice

⭐️ONLINE CENSORSHIP NEWS! SECTION 230, GRAPHENEOS, AND NETCHOICE! ⭐️

- It seems the Senate might be appearing skeptical of Section 230 repeal. Which is a good thing. Repealing it or changing it would literally break a founding property of the internet. It was cause all sorts of bad things here in the US and even outside of it. Every platform based in the US would be affected here and in other countries if they changed/repealed it in any way!

- GrapheneOS (Is a custom, security-hardened version of Android built for Pixel devices. Its sole goal is to be as secure as Android can get. One of its core features is sandboxed Play Services, which allows using Google services in a fully isolated environment in which they can't access sensitive information.) I am glad they are against age verfication and will not be bending the knee they shouldn't at all!

- NetChoice is trying to support Meta this court case. Basically, Vermont is saying, "but the children" like they always claim. It should watch your kids and set limits like a good parent! So that is why NetChoice is supporting Meta.

Push for social media guardrails stalls in Congress

And news from Preston Byrne and Netchoice!

Preston Byrne on X: "I think my next project is going to be writing the UK's Fourth Amendment" / X

NetChoice Applauds xAI Legal Challenge to Colorado’s Unconstitutional AI Overreach - NetChoice

NET CHOICE NEWS AND KOSA RELATED NEWS!!!!🇺🇸⭐️

Summary of the articles

- The first article is self-explanatory, and we have seen this play out here in the US. KOSA and other online safety bills are stalling.

(This makes it the perfect opportunity to: ⭐️🇺🇸CONTACT YOUR REPS, SIGN PETITIONS, AND PROTEST!🇺🇸⭐️)

- The second article is about the exploitation of minors online and my that I mean predators, CSAM, AI CSAM, etc.

(I think that is more beneficial. They are trying to put a stop to these people who are preying on kids and stopping CSAM/AI CSAM.)

Preston Byrne news!

-Again, Preston is trying to stop these people from making awful laws. He is currently trying to stop KOSA/other online "safety" bills. He is also pushing for more free speech for the UK.

- He is also trying to push the GRANITE act, which would stop foreign influence on the US in regards to online "safety" acts. That means this Act would stop their hands in it here in the US.

- He has also partnered with NetChoice, an organization dedicated to stopping all of these online "safety" bills and saving Section 230.

Good question, Anon!💕 👍

I have talked about this in the past, so those posts might be wayyy down there in my feed ,but I will be happy to give you more ways to protest these laws! These are some things I have recommended in the past! :)

Here they are:

- Organize or join public demonstrations: (Peaceful or even sometimes risky protests, marches, or rallies can draw media attention and show the scale of opposition.)

- Support or work with advocacy groups: (Organizations already focused on these issues can coordinate strategy, legal challenges, and outreach. Places like NetChoice/EFF(Electronic Frontier Foundation)/ACLU (The American Civil Liberties Union) CDT (Center for Democracy & Technology) etc. Are against this stuff! I would do my own research to see what organizations best fits your personal views! There are many more to choose from!)

- Check your laws, or if you know someone in law, reach out to them: (These laws may be unconstitutional or break local laws, lawsuits can block or overturn it. This route typically involves nonprofits, coalitions, or affected people.)

- Voting is IMPORTANT: (Voting in primaries, general elections, and even local races can directly change who makes or enforces laws. Voting is VERY important when it comes to stuff like this! Vote these people out! I just had a local election a few weeks ago in my state, and I cast my vote against these people for these laws!)

- Public awareness: (Writing op eds, using social media, starting petitions, or speaking at community forums can shift public opinion.)

- Economic pressure: (Boycotts can push companies/stakeholders to lobby against a law. Also, consider boycotting sites or anything that is for online "safety" laws.)

- Community organizing: (Town halls, teach ins, and local meetings help educate others and build a base of support.)

- Engaging in local government: (Even if the law is national/state level, local officials [like city councils, school boards, sheriffs] sometimes influence how laws are enforced.)

NetChoice’s Digital Safety Shield for America - NetChoice

What is this?

NETCHOICE STUFF!!!👆👆👆

NetChoice's Digital Safety Shield for America provides legal and meaningful solutions for policymakers to help. 👇

1) Invest in law enforcement for child safety by funding law enforcement so they can successfully stop predators and cybercriminals targeting children online and put them behind bars.

2) Lock up more predators and cybercriminals who target children on digital services.

3) Implement digital education in the classroom so young Americans can learn to navigate digital tools safely and responsibly into adulthood.

4) Help parents learn about parental control toolsand resources currently offered to them right now on digital services to help keep their kids safe.

5) Craft narrowly tailored, clearly defined rules that punish the bad actors who abuse new innovations like generative artificial intelligence to hurt children while respecting the protected rights of Americans

6) Secure a federal data privacy framework to protect the data of ALL Americans and our families.

Literally, ALL of this stuff would help/work WAY better than giving up your highly personal info online!

Our countries' governments are slowly turning to authoritarianism/fascism, and nobody is batting an eye! This is about government surveillance/control. I seriously don't want the FBI/other law enforcement agencies to knock on people's doors for the "wrong opinion". Here in the US, the FBI is already going to people doors if you post negative opinions/protest about ICE (there are videos to prove it !) I can't even imagine if they have your whole ID/passport/selfie/credit card/etc. attached to that!
