An update on the KIDS Act: the package of censorship and surveillance "kids safety" bills that Congress rushed to a vote, passed out of the House last night on a 267-117 vote (with 47 members not voting). This is bad news, but not the end of the road. KOSA is not law yet.

‼️ Bad Internet Bills, disguised as “kids safety” bills, are moving through Congress again ‼️ It's time to get those phones in Congress ringing off the hooks again w/ one simple message: we refuse any bill that age restricts, censors & surveils the Internet. : www.politico.com/live-updates...

Remember Visa and Mastercard's censorship last summer against itchi.io games? That's one of the biggest acts of censorship in recent years.

I think what people don’t realize is that there’s not much security to get into the Hilton bc there are so many events at the Hilton & everyone goes through the same entrance. So you don’t need a WHCD ticket to get into the Hilton, and ur ushered down the same WHCD carpet as ppl going to the dinner
could you tell that the security was lax?

I've fought this fight for over two decades, and I can not stress how much personal shame around masturbation drives censorship politics. People are upset that they can't repress their own desire and they desperately want someone else to blame.
Non-religious Republican men seem to often support religiously motivated laws against adult content and educational material about sexuality. In the latest "Theory of Change," @siridahl.com argued that incels want the government to control their own use of porn. plus.flux.community/p/culture-da...

Yeeeaaaahhh this sucks a lot. Some people might have recorded a song for a crappy artist only to find out later, genuinely still have no idea, or are stuck in the unenviable position of debating whether to cut off certain friends or associations - especially when hearsay comes into play.
when a genuine bad actor gets outed i'd be lying if i said one of my many concerns about such a situation wasn't the whole guilt by association thing people do where they're all "this guy knows a guy who worked with a guy who-" it's fucking exhausting

Read my piece out in The Guardian today on all of this. If you are spreading bullshit about social media being "addictive" and "harmful to children" you are complicit in manufacturing consent for mass AI surveillance and allowing big tech to seize even more power while censoring lawful speech.

THREAD: Whenever imperialist governments go to war, they become more authoritarian at home. That makes censorship bills like KOSA, ID checks, and attacks on Section 230 even more dangerous. Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed. www.badinternetbills.com

The kneejerk reaction to say we *should* keep kids out of corners of the internet is one I understand, but this isn’t the way. We’ve seen this in the gaming space. Parents need to monitor their kids’ online habits, not politicians, and certainly not AI. Parent your damn kids.
When Putin needed pretext for creating "The Red Web", Russia's authoritarian system of online censorship that effectively bans LGBTQ speech, he did it through the EXACT same moral panic about social media and kids that liberals and many leftists are spreading today.
