Americans!

The Senate Judiciary Committee, in tandem with the House's Energy and Commerce Committee, is also looking to run a shock and awe campaign during a "child safety" hearing tomorrow in order to push various fascist nanny state bills (KOSA, STOP CSAM, Age Verification, etc.).

Do not buy their framing. It's nothing but moral panic nonsense.

Call your Senators and Representatives ASAP!

The news that #X has suspended the #EU's advertising account on the platform after it issued a 120m EUR fine against X for breaking the #DSA is beyond hilarious.

And it might even be kind of good in the sense that politicians in Europe maybe finally realise how shitty it is to depend on such a lunatic for its public communications.

Open-source privacy projects may face similar pressures globally 🌐

-SCREEN Act (Broadest and most censor happy Age Verification Law)

-App Store Accountability Act (Age Verification for App Stores)

-Parents over Platforms Act (Age Verification for Apps)

-RESET Act (Under 16 social media ban)

-Sammy's Law (Mass surveillance on minors, would out closeted LGBTQ+ youth, etc.)

-Safe Messaging for Kids Act* (Bans minors from using disappearing messages on social media, Social Media platforms must obtain parental consent before enabling DMs on minors' accounts and give parents DM safety features)

- Children's and Teen's Privacy Protection Act* (Extends COPPA protections to 13-16 year olds)

*Dangerous if paired with Age Verification
