Democrats in Congress have rightly expressed concern about the Trump admin's overreach in demanding user data related to 1st amendment protected activities.

But many of these same Democrats are supporting misguided age verification laws that will help Trump and other authoritarians censor & spy.

Progressive lawmakers who care about human rights desperately need to connect these dots.

You can't claim to oppose the Trump admin's authoritarian crackdowns while supporting legislation that would expand Trump's censorship and surveillance powers.

Protect activists! Oppose online ID checks.

people in wisconsin, please contact and call your representatives

this is NOT AT ALL about protecting kids

Some unfortunate news: if the news is correct, they voted to pass this bill.

What now? We take them to the courts. We get the bill blocked and repealed. And we wait and see how bad it'll actually get.

Please, call your reps

These groups are exploiting the real pain & anger people rightfully feel towards Big Tech while positioning Section 230 as the problem when their true aim is to restrict resources/online free speech of groups they don’t like. Please sign + share: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/jose...

Pay close attention to some of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s partners frothing at the mouth to sunset Section 230. NCOSE is a raging homophobic organization hell bent on erasing LGTBQ life from media...not to mention the Heritage Foundation?

A good idea of what section 230 is, and why we should protect it at all costs. Call your senators and reps and make sure it is kept safe.

for the people in wisconsin, this is your time to call your representatives to oppose the vpn ban in wisconsin!
Wisconsin is about to ban VPN use for "material harmful to minors," part of a larger bill age-verification bill.

The final vote is tomorrow.

If you're based in WI, or have fans or friends who are, have them contact their legislator NOW.

tl;dr: KOSA demands everybody identify themselves mandatorially. Its also anti-LGBT and very fashy.

I am fairly sure the point of this is so AI money idiots can train their models on "human data" verified by mandatory ID.

Reminder if they repeal section 230 companies can be sued for what people say on their site as if the site endorses it. So censorship will be 1000x worse and content creators will be unable to do their job. And for those who buy and do comms. Probably won't be able to do that. At least not easily!
Call or email your reps about Kosa and Section 230
If S230 is repealed any website or company can be punished for what their users post and so will have to censor or limit who can post. And Kosa is requiring every website to have ID verification

Email or call your reps!!
