Alongside KOSA, the 'Stop CSAM act of 2025' is a big priority target we need people to yell at their representatives about!

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

In addition to paypros problems, everyone also needs to be aware of the dangerous censorship bills that are on the table. Each of them threatens our freedom of speech, privacy, and business. Call your reps and tell them to OPPOSE each of these bills. R or D, get LOUD and spread the word! #SaveSpeech

I know we might all be happy to see Germany flip to opposed again, but they've flip-flopped before and they can always do so again. Keep putting pressure on them to KEEP being opposed.

this is a really good sign, but it's not over until it's over. Germany has flipped before, and we cannot risk it flipping again. Germans, continue to voice your opposition to your MEPs/MPs. likewise, everyone else in the EU should be similarly vocal!

we have 7 more days!

"Age Verification Regime"

That's what UK Lord James Bethell said he wanted Big Tech to support with age verification efforts, while speaking to a Canadian Committee as they debated S-209.

Keep calling your reps! Hold their feet to the fire! We don't want what the UK has with their "Online Safety Bill" chaos, and the Discord data breach only proved that not only is our free speech at stake, but our privacy too. These tips could help if your rep is a Replican or Democrat. #SaveSpeech

Penelope Rankin: "There's no way parents can handle this."

Bullshit. Dont give them a smart device. Keep them away from the internet. Firewall devices and content.

Give more power back to the parents. Stop pushing censorous, moral panic laws that ultimately fail to "protect the kids."

Senators Senators

The UK(and France) are pushing other countries to impliment AV bills similar to the UKOSA. Privacy will be invaded. Data will be leaked. Adult content shrinks.

Call your MPs in Canada. Tell them "Vote NO on S-209."

It's a cursed timeline when the third-worst thing in the bill, the thing media only can report on after they've gotten through the really stupid stuff, is that Michigan intends to build a Great Firewall to keep its citizens unsullied by knowledge of trans boobs in WI.

legiscan.com/MI/text/HB49...

(3) An internet service provider providing internet service in this state shall implement mandatory filtering technology to prevent residents of this state from accessing prohibited material. An internet service provider providing internet service in this state shall actively monitor and block known circumvention tools. (4) In addition to the criminal penalties provided under subsections (1) and (2), a commercial entity of internet service provider that knowingly facilitates access to prohibited material in violation of this section is subject to a civil fine of not more than $500,000.00 for each violation. (5) The promotion or sale of circumvention tools to access prohibited material is prohibited.

Michigan's HB4938 "antiporn" bill has been lambasted for a number of reasons. You can go to jail for even talking about sex online. Any reference to trans people needs to be erased from the internet.

But it also bans the sale of VPNs and requires ISPs to surveil block VPNs.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

1. If you're from Michigan, call your reps and tell them to OPPOSE this bill regardless of the chances of passing.

2. The guy pushing this bill just got busting for watching people busting. Hypocrisy at its finest. #SaveSpeech

The Online Safety Act was a disaster in the UK, and now they're trying to expand a similar bill to Canada. My Canadian friends, contact your MPs and tell them to OPPOSE this bill, bc if you thought the Discord leak was bad, this will be so much worse. #SaveSpeech

I love how they see the unpopularity of these censorship bills and the chaos Digital IDs brings, and they still go "But think of the children 😭". It was never about the kids.

If you're a citizen in the EU, do not let this slide. Contact them, hold their feet to the fire and make noise. #SaveSpeech

Reminder to y'all that along with keeping chatcontrol down, we also need to start messaging the EU MEPs to stop pushing for AV laws and censorship.

#europe #stopcensorship #eu #euparliament #savespeech #censorship

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [LOCATION] I'm messaging to demand [SENATOR] oppose S. 1748, the Kids Online Safety Act, also known as KOSA. This broad legislation does not protect anyone and instead will be used to block any speech that the Trump administration’s partisan FTC disagrees with. It pushes the “duty of care” onto websites and social media platforms to remove content that is “harmful to children”. It would lead to overcompliance, mass censorship, and remove access to crucial information re: everything from mental health, LGBT topics, substance abuse, eating disorders and more. Additionally, while large, corporate platforms like X can shoulder the weight of “duty of care”, smaller websites cannot, leading to greater and greater concentrations of power online into giant corporate platforms rather than small and medium sized businesses. KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast. Thank you for your time and consideration. IF SENATOR COSPONSORED KOSA: Additionally, I want to remark on [SENATOR]’s cosponsorship of this bill. I think it is shameful that [SENATOR] has backed a bill as transparently bad as KOSA. This will not keep kids safe, it is an excuse to censor the free and open internet. I will not be voting for nor donating to [SENATOR] in any future campaigns if they do not drop their co-sponsorship of this bill, and I will encourage everyone in my life to do the same. Do the right thing.

If you're like me and you are struggling to contact your senators re: KOSA via their phone lines this week, I recommend attempting to send physical letters or emails in the meantime.

Here is a script you can use to contact your reps!

Another useful method. Contact them mail or email if you're umable to call them on phone. In any case, keep contacting them! Tell them that we want to keep our 1st Amendment and privacy safe! #SaveSpeech

Canadians! The UK is attempting to push their own version of the Online Safety Act onto Canada via the bill S-209!

You need to contact your representatives in parliament and explain how this policy is catastrophically bad! Mention the discord data breach!

They just refuse to give up, do they? If they really care about kids, then they should encourage parents to parent their kids. The Internet should not play babysitter. @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social, I think this should be brought to attention too. #SaveSpeech

I want to remind people that when there is a call to action to "contact your reps", it needs to be more than once

Going forward, contacting your reps needs to become part of your routine, at the very least during the work week.

Sustained pressure over time is what matters!

r/UKPersonalFinance 3 hr. ago Previous-Camera1641 I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice? Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off. However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with: Wise Revolut Monzo Monese Chase Starling Nationwide Halifax Barclays Lloyds RBS It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?" "It's coming from games I sell on Steam." "Can we see the store page?" "Sure." "I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time." It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content. What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

Nice to know that banks are not only anti-art and anti-free speech, but also anti-busines too. Making SIX FIGURES for a product people want, and the developer isn't even allowed to cash out?! #SaveSpeech
