Oh yeah, because this won't in any way shape or form lead to people attacking delivery persons, Uber drivers etc. FFS, the image alone is meant to instil fear. That is guaranteed to lead to attacks.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

If you're like me and you are struggling to contact your senators re: KOSA via their phone lines this week, I recommend attempting to send physical letters or emails in the meantime.
Here is a script you can use to contact your reps!

![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)

I wish we could finally get rid of the lie that porn is harmful. It's a dogwhistle to restrict free speech and oppress marginalized groups. I wish people would wake up to that already...

"Stripe has indicated that they hope to be able to support adult content in the future."
Whether Stripe means it or not, getting an actual statement from them is pretty big! If anything, the pressure is working! Don't stop calling! #SaveSpeech

Assume that Stripe is lying and continue to pressure them
however, it isnt a BAD idea to call your banks and complain about Stripe, Visa etc and ask about your own bank's policies

I've been told by someone that works in Stripe's merchant support that they have zero plans to support adult content, and when pressed they indicate that they won't even open up dialogue with banks on adult content.

50 minute call, supervisor reached, ticket filed.
The quick formula:
-be understanding
-be a little confused (is Visa going to tell my grocery they can't sell cereal?)
-be patient
-if they can't help you, you want the supervisor
-supervisor can you file a ticket?
-get ticket number
-call back w/ it

More important than any of this, just call in. Especially if you're not the kind of person who does. Every person who doesn't normally call about anything (I don't) moves the needle a lot more.

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill!
And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic!
We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

The richest person on the planet is programming his robot alter ego to advocate a second Holocaust against an imaginary Jewish person, so shit's going really well I think?
Even more crucially, "Cindy Steinberg", the woman that Grok spent the morning committing hate crimes against, *doesn't exist*.
It was a sock puppet account used for right-wing bait. The profile photo is ripped off from an Onlyfans model. All it took was a troll post for Grok to go Full Hitler.
