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.

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If S230 is repealed any website or company can be punished for what their users post and so will have to censor or limit who can post.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
