House could vote on KIDS Act this week as groups urge rejection
The KIDS Act [containing KOSA] has passed the House This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...
This isn't the end. House KOSA doesn't have Duty of Care which the Senate is hellbent on wanting to be put it, so the tides are in our favor. Still, keep calling your reps and let them know that the KIDS Act isn't popular.
The House version removes a lot of the language undermining Section 230 the Senate wanted so it likely it wont pass there
Things may look bleak but don’t give up everyone
Sure would be nice if we had some sort of opposition party
I swear to God, I am about to go insane rn! They really don't give one fucks about us. Even with me calling my reps constantly. 😡
I just released a video today outling the bill's roots, how the same companies that let you pay for your groceries are deciding what corporate-friendly only expressions get to be online at all and what it means for trans artists, identity, and queer kids. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHan...
Ngl, kind of expected it to pass the house, it has the last few times too only to be defeated in the senate. Call your reps and make it clear that if they vote for it, you'll make sure they dont get re-elected
Disgusting that Democrats are going with the fascist KOSA bill. This doesn't protect children. Every democrat who voted in favor if it needs to be primaried out.
remember to vote out the Democrats who said yes
This is fucking frustrating. We don’t want this. Wanna keep your kids safe on the internet? BE A FUCKING PARENT! All this is, is to silence people, to control speech. Call, email, mail, BE PISSED ABOUT THIS!
this will die in the senate again but call your reps because if this ever fully goes through the floodgates will open on censorship in ways you dont even understand yet
It should update with the Senators list to call by tomorrow, but use this if you need a script for calling your reps ☎️ Don’t let the fact that this bill hasn’t passed the Senate in the past make you think we can just relax: keep making noise so this bill dies AGAIN 5calls.org/issue/kids-o...
Hence why Democrats are merely center right. They are not our friends. This is right wing rhetoric a bunch of boomers are co opting because the idea of parents doing their job is too radical. We do this same song and dance every decade ffs.
Do your do diligence CALL AND BE FUMING MAD AT YOUR REPS This is how we stay vigilent, i know it is frustrating to constantly deal with this, but if theyre going to be stubborn and keep doing this, WE BE THRICE AS STUBBORN BACK AND KEEP TELLING THEN NO Let them know we dont want this!
Brain tired from ALA, but not tired enough to keep from getting a BS bill getting passed. Go bother the Senate everyone. Make sure you make them sweat and remember midterms are coming due.
It isn't time to panic yet since it still has to pass through the Senate, but it is time to take action. Call your senators. Tell them to vote AGAINST it.
🚨 The House is set to vote on the KIDS Act *THIS WEEK* as early as Monday night or Tuesday. This so-called safety bill includes KOSA and age verification requirements and does nothing to protect anyone. Call your House Rep NOW and oppose this bill. 🔥📞🔥
The phone number is (202) 224-3121. 5Calls (OP) gives scripts to call your representatives. If this passes, it will go to senate. This is a ploy to TRACK who and what is said online. Anything deemed "not correct?" you are tracked. CHINA DOES THE SAME, and people HAVE been arrested for social media
🚨 Age verification requirements do nothing but place a digital threshold between people & access to information, and when that threshold is programmed by pedophiles who want to traffick your children you should #StandUpFightBack⚠️
The House's Kids Online Safety Act would take away states’ ability to protect our kids online and seek justice for parents and families when they suffer the harms of social media. They must vote no on this bill today and instead take up the Senate's version of this bill.
The Senate version is written by Marsha Blackburn who said she wants to use it "to protect children from the transgender" Both House version and Senate version are bad! Anyone who cares about LGBTQ+ people and protecting children should oppose KOSA & KIDS Act: www.youthrights.org/how-the-kosa...
Or even better: PASS NEITHER VERSION BECAUSE THEY BOTH FUCKING SUCK ASS.
These are both bad bills that will just give power to an authoritarian government
No, these are both bad bills that disguise privacy invasion as protection.
I wanna clear up something regarding the KIDS Act, which includes a version of KOSA. Just because it just passed in the House, that doesn't mean it's immediately law. It still has to get through the Senate, and some senators don't like the House version. It ain't over yet!
Call your representatives! Tell them that the KIDS Act and both versions of KOSA must not be allowed to pass and that they are violations of both the 1st AND 4th Amendments! The Senate reconvenes in 2 weeks. Make your voices heard by then!
The senate hates this bill because it isn’t awful enough It’s DOA because they want their kosa
