A very good point. While calling out corporations is important, our government is trying to force av laws like KOSA and SCREEN on EVERYONE under the guise of "protecting kids". Call your reps + tell them to OPPOSE these bad bills. #SaveSpeech #Stopageverification #StopKOSA

Erii @laylalightstar.bsky.social While cancelling Nitro is all well and good, just a reminder that age verification itself won't go away as a whole unless KOSA, the SCREEN Act, and tons more are buried and done with. Please contact your reps if you don't want this to spread to other platforms.

They want pictures of your kids. After everything that has happened, how does this not sound creepy?!

If you're from the UK, call your Lords and MPs to put a stop to this insane crap!

This isn't about "Big Tech", @politico.com. This is about our free speech and privacy, and the dangers of censorship, mass surveillance, & data hacks.

The pushback came from the people dissenting these laws, as they negatively affect all of us! #savesspeech #stopageverification #stoponlineidchecks
Big Tech won in Texas — but the age-verification fight is just getting started
States are mounting a new challenge to Silicon Valley over age verification and parental consent, and while industry just scored an early win, the Supreme Court is likely to have the final say.

We only have about a week before most legislators go out for a holiday recess, so i recommend giving your reps a call to oppose bad internet bills!

I've included a script i adapted from one initially written by FFtF

Hi there, My name is (your name) and I am calling to oppose multiple harmful internet bills that are moving through Congress right now. I oppose all bills that mandate online ID checks, infringe upon our constitutional right to free speech on the internet, enable government policing of online resources, and threaten end-to-end encryption. If you truly care about young people’s experience on the internet, you should pass comprehensive data privacy legislation and oppose any bill that forces Internet users to submit to ID checks or would censor the internet, like the SCREEN Act, App Store Accountability Act, and KOSA additionally, I want to advocate for section 230, which I have seen multiple legislators call for repealing. Section 230 is integral to a free and open internet, and repealing it would destroy the internet as we know it and countless livelihoods. I do not want to see section 230 repealed, I want to see it protected. [optional] here is a list of bills that i believe must be opposed due to either increasing censorship, or surveillance: The Kids Online Safety Act SCREEN Act App Store Accountability Act Stop CSAM act of 2025 Sammy's law RESET Act GAMING Act Safe Messaging for Kids Act Parents Over Platforms Act

We can have both free speech and parental rights (something that bills like KOSA and SCREEN Act would deny us of). Keep fighting, keep calling your reps, and we can beat these censorship bills. #stopageverification #stoponlineidchecks

And it's not just KOSA for the US but in Europe we also have Chatcontrol alongside with age verification that is also being pushed in there.

Every call, every mail, every fax, every letter and every post that you share with others to raise awareness matters.
