Dear Representative [Name],

I am writing to express my strong opposition to H.R. 8250 (The "Parents Decide Act"). As your constituent and a concerned citizen, I believe this bill introduces unprecedented risks to digital privacy and security.

Specifically, I am alarmed by:

SEC. 2(a)(1)(B): Requiring age verification to even use an operating system creates a mandatory "hardware lockout" that ends anonymous computing and forces users to hand over sensitive identification data to major corporations just to power on their devices.

SEC. 2(a)(3): Mandating that OS providers create a system for all app developers to access verification data is a massive security vulnerability. This effectively creates a centralized API of user identities accessible to thousands of third-party developers, many of whom may lack adequate data protection.

This bill does not protect children; it creates a centralized surveillance infrastructure at the OS level. I urge you to protect the privacy of your constituents and vote NO on H.R. 8250.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Given that, in the wake of this mandatory identification policy, my country seems to be moving to hand over its citizens biometric data, like fingerprints, Face ID files, and identification documents, over to the USA and to ICE to maintain the visa free travel (ESTA) we have, I strongly urge any US resident to send these emails, or make calls.

But if you can’t do that, the most powerful thing you can do is spread the word. Tell your friends, family, coworkers, anyone who can help.

My reach will likely be small, and so I don’t know if this will mean very much in the grand scheme of things, but I cannot stand to see this tracking happen to another population as it did to mine.

And if you think it won’t affect you, it will. All anonymity goes out the window when your accounts can be linked via your personal ID

We’re not asking for the impossible… just don’t leave us alone in the dark. Listen to your heart, maybe you can be the reason we survive. Even the smallest kindness could give us another chance at life.

Edited to add: Since a lot of people are reblogging this original post, I'm adding the updated version I did that incorporates the intersex circle...

This isn't just a video. This is our daily reality. In Gaza, getting clean drinking water has become a daily struggle for families like ours.

This video shows a real moment from our life while trying to find water for our children.

We are not asking for the world. We are asking for: 🥤 Clean water to quench a child’s thirst. 🍲 A simple meal so they don't cry themselves to sleep from hunger.

Your kindness is the difference between a hungry night and a moment of relief.

This is not just a photo. This is our daily reality in Gaza. Every day we struggle to find clean water for our children. Families wait for hours just to fill a small container. Your support helps us survive these difficult days.

🙏 If you can help, please consider donating:

Every donation or share can make a real difference for our family.

I don’t understand how anyone can witness this pain and stay silent. My family is barely holding on, slipping closer to the edge with every moment. One small act, one donation, one share, could be what keeps us alive tomorrow.

Just $50 from 10 people could be enough to change our fate and save our lives.

Please… don’t look away.

Be the hope we are desperately holding onto.

We are still here, living through days that are harder than words can explain.

Everything is a struggle now.

Water is not guaranteed.

Food is not enough.

Medicine is almost impossible to find, and when it exists, it is too expensive for us.

And in the middle of all this… my father is sick.

He needs treatment.

He needs care.

But I cannot give him what he needs.

I watch him every day, getting weaker, and I feel helpless.

This is not just about hardship.

This is about a life that can be lost if help does not come in time.

We are doing everything we can just to survive, but it is not enough anymore.

We need you.

Help my father. Help my family. Share this.
