The Govt have announced they plan to pass the Facial Recognition Technology Bill through the Dáil on the last sitting day before Christmas. They’ve also removed most of the safeguards the legislation had at earlier stages and widened the scope of use.

KOSA will obliterate trans people's ability to have spaces and even communicate online. It MUST be stopped.
Tell your lawmakers to oppose the Kids Online Safety Act- there are better ways to protect kids online without throwing other vulnerable people under the bus.

This. I’m continually astounded by how many writers do not seem to enjoy writing. And honestly…i think you can tell from reading a piece of writing whether the author took real joy in its creation or not. Idk. Kinda depressing to think about?
it's kind of amazing to me how much "have you tried liking or enjoying the thing you claim you want to spend your time on" is evergreen advice
people, activities, hobbies, whatever. ostensibly if you're giving them your time that means you like what you're spending your time on, but boy

![Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [LOCATION]
I'm messaging to demand [SENATOR] oppose S. 1748, the Kids Online Safety Act, also known as KOSA. This broad legislation does not protect anyone and instead will be used to block any speech that the Trump administration’s partisan FTC disagrees with. It pushes the “duty of care” onto websites and social media platforms to remove content that is “harmful to children”. It would lead to overcompliance, mass censorship, and remove access to crucial information re: everything from mental health, LGBT topics, substance abuse, eating disorders and more.
Additionally, while large, corporate platforms like X can shoulder the weight of “duty of care”, smaller websites cannot, leading to greater and greater concentrations of power online into giant corporate platforms rather than small and medium sized businesses.
KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
IF SENATOR COSPONSORED KOSA: Additionally, I want to remark on [SENATOR]’s cosponsorship of this bill. I think it is shameful that [SENATOR] has backed a bill as transparently bad as KOSA. This will not keep kids safe, it is an excuse to censor the free and open internet. I will not be voting for nor donating to [SENATOR] in any future campaigns if they do not drop their co-sponsorship of this bill, and I will encourage everyone in my life to do the same.
Do the right thing.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xawhcpoqu6pdxpp72fd43wuf/bafkreib65hm5kdos6y7hmzzg5pille43b6imitwgjf5exlupkcqyw6mgt4@jpeg)

With SNAP benefits being withheld, I’d like to remind everyone of No Snitch November. If you see somebody taking food? No you didn't. Taking formula? No you didn't. Taking diapers? No you didn't. When the government turns their back on our neighbors, it's our job to protect them.
