HEY PLEASE READ !!
if you guys AT ALL enjoy using the internet whether it's for news, entertainment, or communication purposes there is a bill floating around right now that has a good possibility of being passed that will influence the way we ALL use the internet. this bill is called KOSA and it presents itself as "kids online safety act" but in reality it is and will try to sensor SO much important information out there about LGBTQ+, POC communities, feminism and women's rights, and so much more. the bill targets mainly people under 17 but this bill will affect adults too. your favorite social media and websites will become highly cleansed from anything the government deems as "dangerous" to children online. one of the ways they are trying to ensure kids aren't accessing content that is "dangerous" enforces EVERYONE to upload private information or a photo of your ID to access social media apps and websites. IF YOU CARE AT ALL ABOUT PROTECTING FREE SPEACH ON THE INTERNET AND THE WAY WE USE IT TO COMMUNICATE PLEASE HELP ENSURE THAT THIS BILL DOES NOT PASS.
CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS TO SHOE THAT YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THE KOSA BILL.
PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE !!!!
HERE IS A FREE PETITION YOU CAN SIGN TO HELP:

Guys…You should not panic or give up…Please continue to call or email your Senator.Keep signing the petition. Keep saying you are against Kosa.. We must succeed so that the Senate or House cannot pass the bill.If we give up, panic or do nothing, they will pass this bill.We have to do everything in our power.. We have to work hard that they did NOT pass the bill.
We have to stop this before they pass the bill.The more we do this or say that we are against Kosa bill, the more likely they will not be able to pass the bill.So keep calling, emailing or faxing that you are against this.Keep signing the petition..Keep talking..
Don't let the bill censor the internet..Don't let us lose the internet..They don't have the right to censor us
I am against the Kosa Bill..I am against censorship

i just wanted to say somethings about KOSA
my girlfriend doesnt have a phone, i either use tumblr with dms or emails (which isnt that often)
i already have a very limited internet access, even just being able to touch tumblr is better than before i found tumblr.
my parents are very strict with my electronics, due to past mistakes. and if they get to see what i am doing, it would make this way worse. i already have major trust issues with them, and the fact they would be able to see everything. i get scared just by me drawing some characters. scared theyre going to do... something.
if kosa gets passed then i might fall out of my fandoms. some of my fandoms im in is the community that i love. sure i like the source material, but the community makes it way better.
this is dangerous
even if we are children, we are smarter than you think. we know how to do things. we know right from wrong. we will make mistakes, but we have to learn. fuck, thats one of the major themes of one of my main stories!
stop kosa.
i dunno, i dont make these types of posts, but the world is fucked up, and the internet is how i find my happiness.

This is your daily reminder to stop kosa. Email your reps or go to badinternetbills.com/ and it will send the email for you. You can also edit what it will say in the email.
Also share information about kosa and how to stop it with everyone, you could reblog or just post your own post on your blog or text a friend. Even telling one person makes a difference.

So following those kosa-like bills that were signed in kandas and florida, arizona is looking to implement a similar law. These bills only serve a terrible precendent for kosa to be enacted so if you reside in arizona please call your reps there to not support this and be sure to call your governer to veto it.
Information on the bill:
Call your governer in arizona to veto:

Please do whatever you can to stop KOSA. The internet is supposed to be a safe place for all. And KOSA violating the 1st Amendment and is trying to BLOCK that freedom.
I hope and pray that this awful bill doesn’t pass. For me at least, the internet is a safe place for me. It’s one of the only places I can be myself and be supported by communities and friends I’ve made, and KOSA will tear that apart.
Please, do whatever you can to stop KOSA. Talk to reps, sign petitions, spread awareness. PLEASE.
KOSA will block awareness for world genocides and wars, support for the LGBTQ+ community, and more. It’s not just children they’re trying to “protect” (“protect” in this sense being; “CENSOR AND CODDLE TO MAKE SURE NO ONE IS AWARE OF **REAL** ISSUES IN THE WORLD AND ONLINE.”) .
So please, reach out and do whatever you can.
thank you

Hello, my name is Moon. And I'm asking you to spread the word of KOSA (Kids online 'safety' act) an awful, deceiving bill that will censor you, me, minors, and adults online alike.
How the bill works will cause social media to change in a horrible way. It will make it to where you must upload your ID publicly to prove you're old enough to view 'explicit' content.
In reality, that content is LGBTQ+ resources for abuse victims, resources for abortion, resources for Palestinians, resources for sex ED, and more.
It will censor us, destory fanfiction, WHATS NEXT? Uploading private messages? Putting your IP in public?
It will end Tumblr, Fanfics, privacy.
PLEASE HELP END IT! Speak out! Stop them, reblog as much as possible! #EndKosa
important.
thank you anon for this, I’ve known about KOSA for a while,,, and it’s absolutely absurd.
Guys, find resources, research about KOSA and speak out as much as possible, sign petitions (be careful about signing fraud ones though)
Reblog as many posts as you can about ending Kosa.
We need to prevent this, please.
The internets helped me in so many ways. I was able to access so many sites, resources and reach out to people.
For as weird and as scary as it can be, it’s been a while place of comfort for me. i cant imagine what i’d do if KOSA was implemented,,,,
edit: just one of the petitions you can sign to help :) (ofc you don’t have to, even just sharing/spreading the word of KOSA will help a ton)
KOSA isn’t protecting anyone. It’s restricting resources that could save people.

What am I doing? Oh nothing, just off to download all of the fanficitons I can to put them on a hard drive in case KOSA gets put into effect.
(I highly suggest you do the same, save all the fanficiton you can because if KOSA gets accepted it's very likely Ao3 will get nuked)

The internet is a place where people can contact others from around the world, the government is scared that if they mess up, we’ll all revolt, they fear the burnt out fire within the hearts of the kids of America and more. They fear a quick snap revolt, so they decide to make bills to silence our generation and those to come. So I say, we make their fears become a reality. STOP KOSA

Do they really want to pass the bill? Will the Internet disappear forever today?!
Yes, they want to pass this damn Kosa bill, however we are STILL fighting with this..We don't want them to pass the bill..We are all against the bill.They did not pass the bill because we still continue to loudly say that we are against Kosa.We must not give up…We must continue to fight.
We are doing everything possible that they did not pass the bill and if we continue in the same spirit,we won it.. If we do nothing, we will lose the Internet forever
SAY YOU ARE AGAINST THE KOSA BILL...Tell Congress you are against the Kosa bill.
CALL/EMAIL/FAX YOUR REPS AND SENATORS.... Keep saying you are against the Kosa Bill..
Keep Fighting!!! Don't give up..We have to stop this!!
Tumblr media
Edit :
As for the second question, I already answered last time, but I will answer again
If they pass the bill, the Internet will not disappear immediately after the Kosa bill is passed.However, I don't want them to pass the bill
For it to become official law, they need to be voted on by a Committee, then go to the House, then to the Senator, then go to review and only then go to the President to sign..

So uh update everyone
From what I can tell nothing happened with kosa
It hasn’t passed house it hasn’t passed senate (btw I found this on the official website)
So I’m 99% sure it was just a normal hearing today and that they didn’t vote on it
Also I couldn’t find anything about it passing today
But I will keep y’all updated!
