if you replace voice actors with AI, we’ll have less lesbians, which is a crime against humanity

YouTube video by Taylor Lorenz KOSA Will Censor the Internet

If it helps, Taylor Lorenz has written about this and put out a video explaining the dystopian nightmare on our hands. Ofc she’s mostly speaking about US laws, but the resulting scenarios regardless of country are bound to have similar results. youtu.be/9bj2B32R7Fk?...

On the EU side, from what I understand there are similar laws being written at the moment. A trusted source assured me that due to the number of countries it would have to apply to, it would not be passed any time soon. However, it would still be ideal if it was nipped in the bud.

I had hoped people I was in community with would already be savy to these things, but people are easily duped. Please inform your fellow humans, I promise it doesn’t have to be super embarrassing, you can just point out it’ll censor info coming out of Gaza among other things.

A bit of explaining is all it takes for them to see how KOSA being passed is a threat to them, speaking from experience. Talk to your friends, tell them how these measures can be bypassed by kids simply impersonating someone else, talk about the lack of privacy and speech suppression this creates.

I repost a lot about KOSA and but don’t speak about it directly. I’ve been speaking to people outside of online spaces, and generally they have no idea that these laws are being pushed forth or if they do, they don’t know they’re more about surveillance and control than child protection.

That soft lavender glow is 👌👌👌 its always great to see effort put into little details, really keeps the AI slop despair at bay 😌

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.

We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.
