![A screenshot of the first three paragraphs from Wikipedia's article on "Degenerate art" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_art).
It reads:
Degenerate art (German: Entartete Kunst) was a term adopted in the 1920s by the Nazi Party in Germany to describe modern art. During the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler, German modernist art, including many works of internationally renowned artists, was removed from state-owned museums and banned in Nazi Germany on the grounds that such art was an "insult to German feeling", un-German, Freemasonic, Jewish, or Communist in nature. Those identified as degenerate artists were subjected to sanctions that included dismissal from teaching positions, being forbidden to exhibit or to sell their art, and in some cases being forbidden to produce art.
Degenerate Art also was the title of a 1937 exhibition held by the Nazis in Munich, consisting of 650 modernist artworks that the Nazis had taken from museums, that were poorly hung alongside graffiti and text labels mocking the art and the artists.[1] Designed to inflame public opinion against modernism, the exhibition subsequently traveled to several other cities in Germany and Austria.
While modern styles of art were prohibited, the Nazis promoted paintings and sculptures that were traditional in manner and that exalted the "blood and soil" values of racial purity, militarism, and obedience. Similar restrictions were placed upon music, which was expected to be tonal and free of any jazz influences; disapproved music was termed degenerate music. Films and plays were also censored.[2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fjyar4qi72ca4d54262prmt5/bafkreidrunh4pl7wusvh4btcxrswf4cfgzxdbvqhb2le7so5zntcboo5ja@jpeg)

its easy to say "how could someone defend this?" when its targeting something you find beyond the pale. but these policies are both incapable of avoiding collateral damage, and are often created with the INTENTION of targeting less distasteful subject matter those in power want controlled

( Dial 202-225-3121 )
- Script: Hello, my name is [NAME] from [COUNTY, ZIP CODE]. I respectfully urge [ELECTED REP] to oppose three pending internet censorship bills:
• the Kids Online Safety Act - KOSA
• the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act - IODA
• and the SCREEN Act
All three bills claim to protect minors by placing a duty of care on online platforms to prevent exposure to harmful things. But Republicans keep expanding the definition of "harmful." Notably, FTC Chair Ferguson signed up "to fight wokeness" - a label the Trump administration applies to anything it doesn't like.
The people in power can't be trusted with laws like these. If passed, these bills would harm LGBTQ teens, adults, and anyone who needs information on reproductive health or abortion. The SCREEN act will enable constant surveillance of American citizens, and put the sensitive data of everyone - especially children - at risk. The UK's disastrous rollout of the Online Safety Act is a perfect example of how unpopular, dangerous, and ineffective these laws are.
Again, I urge you to oppose KOSA, IODA, and the SCREEN act.

The bill would completely erase trans people online, equating them with porn.
