Here’s a quick script you can use when calling. Or you can add to it and use it when emailing the senators. I just used it. I’m putting it here til I have time to add to it.
Hello. My name is ____ _______, spelled ________, my email is ________, phone number ________, address ________, zip code ________. I’m calling to request that Senator ______ do everything in his power to block and vote NO on H.R.7757, the Kids Online Safety Act, the No Fakes act, the KIDS act, the KOSPA, and the age verification mandates being pushed by Donald Trump. These bills together would result in government regulations of protected speech for both adults and children. The act would force social media platforms to restrict lawful speech, allow the government to dictate and control online communications, and require age verification mandates.
Age verification mandates would require users to disclose personal information before accessing lawful speech online— hugely invading privacy and opening the door to people’s personal data being stolen, and completely eliminating the safety of anonymity for everyone online.
Please block these bills and protect the American citizens’ right to free speech and anonymity online.
Edit: Here’s an email script to tweak:
I’m writing to inform you that you need to vote No on H.R.7757, KOSA, the KIDS act, the No Fakes act, and the KOSPA. These bills would require all internet users to give up their legal identities to every website they use to prove their non-minor status, and force government regulations and oversight on all communications on social media platforms, destroying any ability for people to exercise their right to free speech. And the government dictating and controlling online communications for people who are forced to give up their identities to every data mining platform would be catastrophic for everyone involved.
What’s more, this bill is designed purely to control and steal data from users, revealed by the fact that the original KOSA had text requiring platforms to prevent things that were specifically documented as harmful to minors; promotion of eating disorders, self-harm, substance abuse, and sexual exploitation. Without that provision, the House bill simply requires platforms to submit to annual “safety” audits, meaning there will be reporting obligations enforced, but no civil liability when a documented harm occurs, revealing the purpose is control and surveillance, not safety. Vote No on KOSA, the KIDS act, the No Fakes act, and the KOSPA to protect internet safety for all future generations. Vote No on the House bill H.R. 7757. Please, do your duty as Senator and don’t allow this attack on free speech to go through.
