Snap, the parent company pf Snapchat just caved and has put LGBTQIA+ people under the bus for supporting #KOSA. https://www.techdirt.com/2024/01/29/snap-breaks-under-pressure-supports-dangerous-kosa-bill-that-will-put-kids-in-danger/
Just a primer/explainer on what this bill would ultimately do as it's a censorship bill in disguise. https://mastodon.sdf.org/@joeo10/111177990942640628

  This is disgraceful that Elizabeth Warren has come out and support a flawed yet true censorship bill in #KOSA which would be a death blow to LGBTQIA+ voices everywhere if passed into law. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/10/03/senator-elizabeth-warren-supports-bill-to-silence-lgbtq-voices/ For those somehow out of the loop, I encourage you to read these two great pieces posted below: By the @eff@mastodon.social, which delivers two of them: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/kids-online-safety-act-still-huge-danger-our-rights-online https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/09/get-real-congress-censoring-search-results-or-recommendations-still-censorship And from @charliejane@wandering.shop https://buttondown.email/charliejane/archive/the-internet-is-about-to-get-a-lot-worse/

  You can add Microsoft as the latest company to back #KOSA, a censorship bill in disguise that will be a huge blow to freedom of expression for everyone, especially for kids and LGBTQIA+ voices. https://www.techdirt.com/2024/01/31/microsoft-joins-in-on-the-screw-over-lgbtq-kids-party-by-supporting-kosa/

  I feel @lauren is spot on when parties from BOTH sides of the aisle are trying for the same goals: Censorship, police state, the end of anonymity, etc. https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@lauren/111851647475164095

    Basically, both parties in Congress -- and legislators in both blue and red states -- want to turn the Internet into a China-style police state, where all activity is tracked and tied to government IDs. Even if you trust one party not to abuse this, imagine when the other party gets into power! All of this is being leveraged on a "protect the children" basis where the legislative demands would be ineffective at preventing children from accessing the materials of concern, trample on the rights of adults to use the Net, and actually expose children to more risks from abusive parents. That's the bottom line.

  @Em0nM4stodon Yep, it's more of a reason why you and people that you care about get in touch with your Senators to let them know what they currently stand and encourage them to vote NO.
  Both parties instead of passing real privacy reform, want people like us to not exist that's perfectly clear.
