From the article: If the MPA’s plan sounds familiar, it’s because it has tried this before. It helped hatch the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in 2012

So, in other news, they're trying to push an Age Verification Bill in Arizona.

Which, I've talked a fair bit about why this is bad but long story short, it would be a massive privacy risk, whether requiring government IDs or facial scanning, and it would lead to massive amounts of self-censorship in an effort to avoid leading to being categorized under that bill, which means more stuff like the Tumblr purge.

Or, as in the case of other states who've passed laws like this, pull out of them entirely.

Bad news is it's passed the State House and Senate, good news is our state governor, Katie Hobbs, can still veto it.

If you live in Arizona, call her office at 602-542- 4331 and tell her to veto this terrible censorship bill.

There's a terrifying push for laws that'd restrict online speech on a federal level, but we cannot forget about the ones threatening us at the state level.

okay can i just GO OFF about how angry the Trump-endorsed "God Bless the USA" Bible makes me?

like first of all, one of the most privileged and un-Christlike human beings on the planet using their face to promote a Bible is just... EWWW. and during Holy Week, no less. and ever so conveniently when he has to pay legal bills.

second, by adding political documents to the Bible, they are essentially trying to lump them in with scripture, which is literal blasphemy.

"You must neither add anything to what I command you nor take away anything from it, but keep the commandments of the Lord your God with which I am charging you." - Deuteronomy 4:2 (NRSVUE)

third, this whole thing just screams "American exceptionalism." God sent Their son to earth because "God so loved the WORLD," not because "God so loved the USA." by trying to turn patriotism into something that must be one and the same with faith, you are making an idol out of America, and i'm pretty sure God had a whole-ass commandment about not making idols.

look, it shouldn't matter if you're a hardcore conservative evangelical, or a queer-affirming progressive left-wing Christian like me. or even if you're not Christian at all. this should absolutely disgust you.

Please; do NOT support Canadian bill C-63. It is the Canadian version of KOSA and just as harmful, if not more. Please, do NOT support the "Online Harms Act"

Petitions to stop KOSA + information about Project 2025 Masterpost

Hello! This is my first post on this blog. While most other people would make a self-introduction as their first post, I feel like this is much more important.

So, you might have heard about the revival of the dangerous KOSA bill this year, with a January 2024 deadline to stop it. I've decided to get every possible petition I can find online for everyone to sign. Here are the links:

For those unfamiliar with the KOSA bill and why it's bad, it's basically a censorship and surveillance bill disguised as a way to "protect children".

What it does is it would pressure platforms into using content filters that would censor anything that is deemed "inappropriate" for minors, including topics of LGBTQ, mental health resources, race, gender, and basically anything that Republicans dislike.

It would increase surveillance by increasing the use of ID age verification and parental monitoring tools. This would be very bad for those in abusive home situations.

This bill is unconstitutional because it breaks the first and fourth amendments.

This would not only change the way minors use the internet, but everyone, regardless of age, will be effected by this bill. Every site would be effected by this, especially Tumblr.

Censorship will not help protect people, and it only limits what information we're allowed to see, which would give the government more control over everyone. In fact, the KOSA bill is actually a part of the Project 2025 plan that the Republicans will use to dictate this country. Don't believe me? The Heritage Foundation (a Right-Wing hate group), even said so in a twitter post. (tried posting the video here but Tumblr won't let me)

Also, one of the writers for the bill is a Republican and has even admitted to saying that it will target trans content:

If you don't already know what Project 2025 is, it's basically Trump's plan to turn the country into an authoritarian, fascist nightmare. Here's an article that does better explaining:

Basically, if any Republican candidate gets elected, they will enact Project 2025. It's very important that you vote for a Democrat, no matter who it is, even if we have to vote for Biden again.

So with all this said, it's very important that we stop this KOSA bill so we don't give the Republicans a chance to enact Project 2025. While there are still other Internet bills we need to speak out against, KOSA is the most urgent since it could be voted on as soon as January.

Please do whatever you can to stop this KOSA bill. Call your representatives, call your senators, sign petitions, and spread this post around as much as you can. Blaze this if you have to.

Not the anon, but Kosa is a bill that's soon going to pass where minors on the internet get their parents to see what they search up and restrict things that are deemed "inappropriate." When in reality it prevents kids who are trying to learn about the lbgtq community and kids trying to identify abuse. The bill will change the internet forever and NOT in a good way.

Im pretty sure the anon is trying to ask you to spread awareness about this.

“Emile Corsi” is not real. anything claiming to be done by an artist named Emile Corsi is ai generated art, it does not exist. what’s worse is that the person behind this “artist”, these “artworks” is that they are falsifying the historical record. these images are not from the 1800s; they were not generated until just a few weeks ago… this is intentional misinformation folks

here’s an article that talks about it and gives some tips on how to identify ai, beyond the member’s only wall it goes on to tell us that research is the biggest tool in pinpointing misinformation from ai art to radical claims in the news cycle. even just simply looking something up is enough to help counter misinformation
