If this moved you in any way, please call your reps and demand they reject the KOSA and SCREEN Acts plus the other bills bundled into the Online Safety package! It's going to make it exponentially harder for sex workers and nsfw artists like myself to earn a living.

I cannot stress enough to any other Australians to please avoid KWS verification like the plague.
I was checking through what bluesky's verification was and just immediately with this.
If you don't know, KWS had a data breech and it was confirmed user data was stolen that was supposed to be deleted

The absolute kicker to all of this is that most of the solutions they are seeking already exist on your phone. They just need to be enabled by parents.
But, no, they want to bring an East Wing demolition crew to everyone's internet because no one can be bothered going to "settings."
