PLEASE READ BECAUSE THIS WILL AFFECT YOU IF THIS PASSES

The US Government is trying to pass a bill that will censor the Internet under the guise of protecting kids! And it has bipartisan support.

This bill is called KOSA, Kids Online Safety Act. This basically gives government the power to censor anything they deem as "inappropriate" or "harm content" to kids. And if you want unrestricted access to the Internet, the bill stated you will need to prove you are a user over the age of 18, which means you will likely need to give your ID in order to access the web. And there is no guarantee listed that your ID will be safe alongside the rest of your data online, if this passes (think how well Instagram and Facebook and how well they've protected data i.e sold it to Russians).

This bill also includes censoring history as well as websites that could be medically helpful, in ADDITION to restricting or out right banning certain apps and websites like;

- Tumblr

-TikTok

-Wattpad

-Ao3 (Archive of our own)

- Medical Information: for things like Mental Health, Sex Ed, medication

And more

The bill is set for markup on July 27 2023 at 10:00 am.

Also, if this passes it'll be the start of quickly passing other internet acts like the EARN IT ACT and the RESTRICT ACT.

Please call and or email your representatives and senators. You can find the needed contact information on Congress.gov. This is a abuse of power and a violation of our 1st amendment rights to freedom of speech, choice, and press, as well as the 4th amendment that prohibits unlawful searches and seizures, and a violation of privacy.

SIDE NOTE: While I agree that there needs to be protections for kids online, KOSA, as well as the other bad internet bills, is not it. And if protecting kids is really the concern, then why not focus sights on implementing regulations that holds the people who intend to harm kids accountable?

the kosa act.

i heard about this very recently, and figured i should spread awareness about it somewhere, since i'm not sure how many other people know about this.

so, lawmakers are trying to bring back the kids' online safety act, hence the abbreviation, kosa. as the name implies, it's in the name of protecting kids online, but the way this bill goes about it will cause harm. kosa will ramp up online surveillance through things like age verification and parental controls, make social media platforms install filters that will censor anything that's 'inappropriate' for minors, and give state attorney generals the power to decide what falls under 'inappropriate'. can you see where this is going?

'inappropriate' is *really* broad, and as such, will allow for misuse of power. sure, this might stop their kids from viewing spicy content or other things they actually shouldn't be doing, but it would also stop people from accessing resources that talk about race, gender, sexuality, etc. it also puts minors trying to escape abuse or domestic violence in danger. some places already censor info about these kinds of things, but kosa will implement this harmful censorship EVERYWHERE on the internet.

however, there is a way to help. you can go to stopkosa.com to send a letter to your local lawmakers. the site also gives you the option to call said lawmakers, and suggestions on what to say. please try to spread more awareness about this anywhere you can. even though kosa is (supposedly) in good faith, it will put more people in danger than it will actually protect, and has to be stopped. thank you for your time

🌱🔥 Self-Reliance: Cultivating Inner Strength and Independence 🚀💪

Self-reliance is a powerful mindset and skill that empowers you to take control of your own life, make decisions based on your values and beliefs, and rely on your own abilities and resources. Here are some key steps to foster self-reliance and cultivate your inner strength:

1️⃣ Believe in Yourself: Develop a strong belief in your own capabilities and worth. Embrace a positive mindset that acknowledges your strengths, talents, and potential. Trust in your ability to navigate challenges and overcome obstacles.

2️⃣ Set Clear Boundaries: Establish healthy boundaries to protect your time, energy, and well-being. Learn to say "no" when necessary and prioritize your own needs and values. By setting boundaries, you create space for personal growth and self-reliance.

3️⃣ Take Responsibility: Accept responsibility for your own actions, choices, and outcomes. Avoid blaming others or external circumstances for your circumstances. Recognize that you have the power to shape your life and make choices aligned with your goals and values.

4️⃣ Learn and Grow: Cultivate a thirst for knowledge and personal growth. Continuously seek opportunities to learn, develop new skills, and expand your horizons. Embrace a growth mindset that sees challenges as opportunities for growth and improvement.

5️⃣ Embrace Self-Care: Prioritize your well-being and practice self-care. Take care of your physical, mental, and emotional needs to maintain balance and resilience. Nurture yourself through healthy habits, rest, relaxation, and activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.

6️⃣ Seek Support and Guidance: While self-reliance is about relying on yourself, it doesn't mean you have to do everything alone. Seek support and guidance from trusted mentors, friends, or professionals who can provide insights, advice, and encouragement along your journey.

7️⃣ Take Action and Embrace Challenges: Step out of your comfort zone and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Be proactive in pursuing your goals and dreams, even if it means taking risks or facing temporary setbacks. Trust in your ability to learn and adapt.

Remember, self-reliance doesn't mean isolating yourself or refusing help when needed. It means developing the confidence and skills to navigate life on your own terms while also knowing when to seek support. By cultivating self-reliance, you can unlock your full potential and create a life of independence, fulfillment, and personal empowerment. 💪🌟❤️
