If you're European as well, PLEASE go sign the Stop Killing The Internet initiative I cannot stress how bad the EU Kids Act will be for everyone if this goes through. It's never about the kids, the government wants more control on us

All hands on deck! Ross explains how the EU Kids Act could end #StopKillingGames by collapsing the EU gaming market! youtu.be/mQRcK9nYg9g "The best thing you can do is spread the word...The people who write this crap do not like it when the public at large knows what they're trying to do to you"

BREAKING NEWS KOSA failed to pass in the US Senate (thanks to Paul, R.), but remember this was the FOURTH attempt from American politicians to get it passed. Expect another attempt in the next term; stay vigilant, and do not let the USA adopt ID-collecting laws such as the SCREEN Act & KOSA.

Ari Cohn@aricohn.com

After Senator Blumenthal sought unanimous consent for KOSA, engaging in brutally transparent hand-waving of free speech issues, Senator Rand Paul stands up to object, and unanimous consent fails.

If you have time, check if your state has already implemented online age verification laws. If yes, see if you can inform your state representatives or senators about the failures of the SCREEN Act & KOSA that you know why, and that you demand your state repeals similar laws.

Yes, 153 million American driver's licenses & IDs have been leaked online, yet the USA is still debating on passing mandatory ID verification laws (KOSA & SCREEN ACT) coming this month. Keep telling your US politicians to vote NO, they are NOT "protecting kids". www.techtimes.com/articles/326...

Taking a break from ID verification news & wanted to share a fundraiser campaign for an indie animated series, "The Little Trashmaid," based on the webcomic series. Only 10-11 days left for fundraising, and it's almost reached its goal! Donate if you want to see it in fruition!

Unfortunately, Macron is not giving up and is already working on rewriting his ID verification law proposal. In this day of global ID verifications, it is still likely to pass. French Europeans keep fighting to pressure your parliament members to reject this potential 1984 scenario!

VICTORY IN FRANCE. A media ban aimed at children that requires the ID of everyone has been ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL, ruling that it violates free expression and privacy. "Protect the children" does not justify forcing every adult to prove their age just to access the internet. KEEP FIGHTING.

MONKEY WRENCH IS COMING TO NETFLIX! The secret that's been kept for the past 8 months! The first 5 episodes of Monkey Wrench are officially coming to NETFLIX on AUGUST 19th! Fully remastered and re-engineered audio! New multiple language dubs! New intro sequence! #monkeywrench #indieanimation

Update: Good news is the SCREEN Act did not passed, but it is not completely dead, only delayed due to lack of votes, which means it will come back later. Bad news is KOSA passed, BUT it is not law yet until a full Senate vote followed with a House-Senate fight in Sept. Keep calling, don't stop!

Official: Aug 5th is when the USA Senate will vote on America's bills, KOSA & SCREEN Act. Call your US Senators to vote NO, or you vote them out until Wed. Provide them evidential resources such as Discord, TikTok, & the EU AI ID verification app got hacked (twice from Discord & EU). 202-221-3121

There is also news that Meta's App Store Accountability Act will be included in September, which will acquire people downloading apps, even open source apps being published & downloaded, to upload personal info similar to ID age verification. Call your Reps/Senators to vote NO or vote them out!

Today could possibly be the day where the US Senate will vote on bill S. 1748 KOSA, S. 737 SCREEN Act, & S. 5090 Digital Age Assurance Act, all ID verification bills. Share with your family & friends in USA, call & email your American Senators to vote NO. 202-221-3121

From Twitter: The Digital Age Assurance Act will require OS providers to collect age data, and signal it to apps, browsers, and stores to block minors from harmful content. Our computers and the systems that power them will be subject to age verification. Call & email your Senators to also vote NO.

This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.

It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

None of us -want- to clog your timelines with this shit. I fucking HATE interrupting dumb horny boob posts with calls to action but like If action isnt taken the boobs will stop entirely like we -cant- ignore this shit, this isnt FUN

Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

If your Senators are on the Commerce Committee, your job August 5th is to blow up their phones opposing #KOSA and the #SCREENAct. Cite cybersecurity concerns, religious freedom, free speech... Bring up that they'd be enforced by a regime that shields child sex traffickers. Be angry. #SaveSpeech

I don't know about the other bills, but I heard CHATBOT Act will require people to upload ID to talk to AI. I don't like how Gen AI is being used to replace creative humans, but no American should be obligated to upload personal info for any means just to get leaked & stolen.

Haven't streamed on Twitch in awhile... Now I guess I won't be anymore. A lot of my entertainment comes from it though... Curious how Vinny will handle this whenever he gets back from his band tour...

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

I wanted to make a quick important post on my desktop before it's too late I was recently hit by the KOSA age verify on my mobile account and won't be able to access BlueSky for awhile until this gets removed It's currently being affected in Texas without a warning or heads up so go share this

Over 10 corpos are bribing politicians (Meta, Comcast, Microsoft, AT&T) to get KOSA & the KIDS Act passed in the Senate. Both Republicans & Democrats are supporting this. Call them this violates 1st & 4th amendments. If they vote this bill, you vote them out. Keep calling until final day.

This American Civil War for freedom of privacy rights will be hell; the lobbying amount is massive. If passes, the USA will be like UK, EU, AUS & states already passed ID verification laws. Speech, creative, & online censorship. Share with content creators, streamers, & Youtubers. www.stopkosa.com

stopkosa.comStop KOSAKOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

Before anyone begins doomposting: There are still two stops it has to pass before it gets into law. And the senate doesn't like the House version of KOSA so there's a chance it doesn't pass. But don't just assume.

Bluesky Safety@safety.bsky.app

Texas passed an age assurance law that requires Bluesky to verify the age of users. This law was paused by a judge and then unpaused by an appeals court, so we are preparing to comply. If you saw an age assurance notice today, that's why. Read about the law here: ccianet.org/news/2026/05...
