Remember, Marsha Blackburn introduced KOSA to “stop the transgender in our culture.”

KOSA is a tool to bludgeon free expression and erase LGTBQ people.
It is not about kids safety at all.

The Bill:
- Adds a ban on all state based legislation on AI.
- Reforms Section 230 by adding a "Bad Samaritan" section.
- Wants "duty of care" on sites, AI or not(KOSA)

Call & yell at reps. Vote Blackburn out.

Oh and online protest movements like @50501movement.bsky.social and #NoKings would be quickly wiped off of social media by censorious lawsuits.

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it

A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230.

No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech.

As it's been pointed out, age verification laws getting permablocked in Louisiana, Arkansas and Ohio directly contradicts the narrative that KOSA et al is popular, which its congressional supporters are desperately claiming

If we push it could unravel completely, but we all *have* to keep pushing

How can you argue federal AV laws are good when at the state level we're seeing real pushback and even seeing AV legislation repealed/blocked?

They want you to think its a consensus, its inevitable.

Its not. Fight like its not!

And dont ignore local/state level stuff! As these state laws get overturned, the narrative behind the Fed ones lose steam!

As the Court noted in its opinion, while the state has an interest in protecting minors, it cannot do so by “foreclos[ing] access to social media altogether,” which prevents users from “engaging in the legitimate exercise of First Amendment rights.”

Of course, keeping kids from "explicit imagery" seems reasonable.

But asking adults to submit an ID to see a sext? Or access health information? Or a Mapplethorpe photo? Or something more controversial?

Suddenly, you're on a list.

The mission creep, which we're seeing in the US as well, goes in one direction: less privacy, more surveillance, greater restrictions on what can be published or accessed online.

First it was "just porn," then it was social media, now messaging apps and image filters.

And it's not just kids, it's all of us. The number of places online where one has to show papers or disclose identity grows rapidly. So are the places the government (or AI) needs access, without encryption.
