Make calls to demand KOSA be stopped.

We cannot trust established Dems anymore.

Make your voices heard, for KOSA will be used to censor LGBTQ+ voices.

Well we must not let them: let's raise our voices and say no to this evil censorship.

I know there's a lot of shit going on, but please keep calling your electeds to demand they NOT support KOSA. It absolutely will be used to ban all queer content from the internet for minors, even support lines & information sites.

It appears that some members of the Democratic Party are supporting KOSA.

The act purports to be about protecting children, but it could weaponize Trump's FTC to target LGBTQ+ content on the internet.

KOSA is gonna piss off so many people, even outside queer circles.

People are not gonna like the fact that the government can deem anything it wants to be "insensitive to children" and ordered it removed.

It might be fearmongering, but hey, propaganda tactics can be weaponized for you.

Ways to help:

This post via bad Internet Bills:

Or make calls to demand this KOSA Bill be SHUT DOWN!

For LGBTQ+ people should live their lives freely without fear of hatred nor censorship.

Let's be loud and take the World from the Rotten Oligarchy.

Posted by Sen Graham on Twitter, calling for a week in February “dedicated to advancing legislation that protects children from online threats and tackling the Section 230 crisis once and for all.” 10% of the senate sponsors the S230 repeal bill
Anited States Scate WASHINGTON, DC 20510 December 19, 2025 The Honorable John Thune Majority Leader United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Charles Schumer Minority Leader United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Leader Thune and Minority Leader Schumer, On February 8, 1996, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was enacted. Included within this legislation was the Communications Decency Act and the now-notorious Section 230. What was originally passed with the goal of helping the emerging Internet industry as our nation approached a new century has since been interpreted to shield big tech companies from accountability for an ever-expanding variety of online harms. As we approach the 30-year anniversary of Section 230, we must pause and reflect on where this law has led us as a nation and how it has affected the American people. Because of Section 230, America's children are being sexually groomed and extorted online; predators are creating and distributing Al-generated deepfake pornography; drug traffickers are selling fentanyl-laced pills to teenagers; young people's anxieties, stresses, and body image issues are exploited; and terrorist organizations and foreign governments are targeting vulnerable individuals for recrutment and exploitation. And to make matters worse, Section 230 prevents these victims and their families from ever having their day in court. Practically speaking, there is no regulatory agency overseeing social media that could provide meaningful relief to abused consumers. The combination of having the courthouse door locked and no real regulatory body to protect consumers is harmful to America and it must come to an end. The time for accountability is now. Few issues have generated more bipartisan consensus in this body than confronting the Section 230 problem. Indeed, there are few issues as important for Congress to confront than the escalating threat of online harms to Americans, especially America's children. As a res…

This misses the key distinction which is that the Online Safety Act (& KOSA in the U.S.) is about punishing, censoring and surveilling *users*. None of these “child safety” laws are about punishing actual big tech companies. They’re ONLY about censoring speech, they reward big tech financially

if "age verification" becomes mandatory country-wide, it's basically game over for CURSE/KISS/CUTE. i can't afford to contract some shady third party to check people's IDs, and even if i could, no potential reader is going to upload an ID just to read a story they don't even know if they'll like yet
