Bad Internet Bills All of the bad internet bills. One website.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce passed the Kids Act, a mix of KOSA, Screen Act, and several other ID/facescan verification bills. There is still time before a final vote in the House, as well as a Senate version. Please use this link to call your Senators and Representatives to vote no.

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

KIDS Act Passes Energy and Commerce along Partisan Lines, COPPA 2.0 Postponed Additional bills on kids online safety and cybersecurity passed with bipartisan support

The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced

Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!

Big news, and not good news, but luckily for us we have time. It needs to get to the committee of rules FIRST before heading to the main house chamber.

This means our fight is not over.

We will need to fight HARDER

The KIDS Act (mass censorship and surveillance law that would eliminate anonymous internet use) is moving forward in the House, and the only opposition is from Democrats who claim it doesn't censor and surveil ENOUGH. When is the left going to wake tf up???

Every bsky staff member keeps talking about how the goal is Nice Social Media but then the second they're even remotely pushed back against for something shitty, and they immediately crash out for multiple days crying about their subhuman userbase.

BREAKING: An open letter with 60,000 people was sent to @housecommerce.bsky.social detailing opposition to age verification bills

We are the people who grew up on the internet. If anyone knows about harms it caused, it's us. Not parents, not congress, us.

I wish it was socially acceptable to wear a mask in the west. I get stared at. I'm literally protecting y'all. It's just common courtesy.

sick with the flu bcz everybody refuses to wear a mask in close quarters during flu season. Was in the middle of endurance training for my hypermobile knees but now I'm too weak to exercise & I've lost all my progress. I can't catch a break 😿

I wish I could ask how more casual subscribers feel about the new subscribestar wallet and the concept of putting a bigger lump sum in the wallet every so often like a token system in order to sub vs the traditional small amount every month.. but I don't think I can reach them here. Very hard

Potentially really good news here. SubscribeStar has introduced a Wallet feature w/ additional payment options beyond what was previously available.

This appears to include PayPal and other e-wallets, as well as cryptocurrency + more.

If you couldn’t use SubscribeStar before, take another look!

I wrote about the House hearing today, how Congress is trying to strip anonymity from the Internet, and the devastating effects that has for journalists, whistleblowers, LGBTQ ppl, immigrants, civil rights activists, abortion providers and anyone challenging power for @theintercept.com

十 WALLET BALANCE S0 Welcome To Wallet TOKENS Transaction History No transactions yet. Top up your wallet to get started.

SubscribeStar seems to have added a token / wallet system. I suspect this is an attempt from SubStar to add a buffer against payment processors complaining about processing payment for specific content

The markup meeting in the house is today.

Continue to stress to your reps that these bills/policies are unacceptable.

Censorship Does Not Keep Kids Safe KOSA is an alarming bill that would enable censorship and violate young people’s First Amendment right to freely access information. We must call on Congress to act now and protect free speech online.

Congress is taking up an alarming bill that would empower the government to decide what content is deemed dangerous to young people, encouraging censorship of content it doesn’t like.

Tell your members to support free speech and vote no on censorship.

Why ‪@why.bsky.team‬ Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank

Everything this bozo says makes sense if you imagine him as the weaselly Dennis Nedry from Jurassic Park

I wanna be held and reassured

Genius!

Hello. I am a constituent of (name). I wanted to let them know about some important action they must take against the censoring of American voices. Passing bills that weaken end-to-end encryption, require online ID checks, or repeal Section 230—which protects free speech online—will give Left-Wing radicals the power to censor our good conservative values and enable the woke mob to get away with pushing their twisted agenda on our children. Lives will be irreparably harmed if you enable liberals to pressure our fellow republican patriot influencers off the internet, surveil our messages, or age gate and censor online resources for vulnerable communities, such as children who have been groomed by They/Them. If you care about your constituents, you should oppose KOSA, the SCREEN Act, STOP CSAM, the Cooper Davis Act, and any Democrat-sponsored bill to impose age verification requirements or to end Section 230 speech protections. Sec. 230 protects free speech online. Online ID Checks compromise privacy and enable censorship. KOSA harms kids and teens’ access to sanctuary from Liberal corruption. Oppose KOSA, the App Store Accountability Act, and section 230 reform/sunsetting Thank you for your time.

This one is for people with all republicans as house reps/senators:
