This is a great way to show your support! Petitions aren't a cure-all, but another mode of attack alongside calling reps! Remember, keep going! I only haven't been posting much because of school and space on my phone but I can assure you, these actions take no time at all. #SaveSpeech #rocktheboat

In addition to calling your reps, this website has both a lot of information explaining why these bills are bad/ why section 230 must be protected, as well as petitions to sign for each individual issue!

So what can you do? 🤔
1. Continue pressuring your lawmakers, let them know how unpopular and dangerous censorship and surveillance bills are.
2. Spread the word! Many people have no idea the internet they know and love is under threat.

Michigan already let the cat out of the bag - these laws are anti sex worker, anti trans, and anti women's health. They will put necessary services behind a wall of "adult content" and that will be enough that millions would no longer be able to access basic help.

People will actually die if these laws pass, because they might not be able to access medical care. Or because the cops randomly showed up thanks to an ID ping on an abortion website.

If you live in the US, tell your fucking representative that ID verification laws and KOSA are terrible ideas. We cannot let KOSA pass and we cannot let ID verification laws pass, whether it's for porn sites, social media or app stores.

Texas Age Verification Starts Jan 1: ID Required for ALL Apps
Starting January 1, 2026, Texas will require age verification to download ANY app, including weather and sports apps—thanks to SB2420. Apple and Google are warning this destroys user privacy, similar laws are coming to Utah and Louisiana, and there's a federal bill to make it nationwide.

Banning VPNs sets a dangerous precedent.
It gives governments and corporations more power to decide when and how we can practice free speech, while eroding privacy and limiting access to information.
