#savespeech #kosa On the results of the markup today, I’m just straight up going to post this comment from r/politicaloptimism on it
“Right, I think it's time to take a step back for a minute.
The KIDS Act is not the worst-case scenario. We hate it for obvious reasons, but given the absolute flood of state age verification laws of late, a federal AV law for adult websites would change very, very little in this country. The regulations on design features for online platforms don't carry any mandates like what ChatControl used to have, and the text of them specifically preempts any interpretation that forces age verification on social media.
Most of what it requires, other than the poisonous idea of age verification, is already done by the great majority of the websites we use. A mandate for "establishing reasonable policies addressing harms to minors" is nothing like a duty of care, especially when the harms listed are HIGHLY illegal things which these websites already moderate. The fact that it mandates functioning user report systems is something I could fully get behind in a bill that was less overly broad.
And no, it has not passed the House. It's not even guaranteed a floor vote. It was reported out of committee.
The amount of time between this stage and a floor vote, if one ever comes, is usually very substantial, meaning we have plenty of time to work. Even worse for it than that, it only made it out of committee along party lines, meaning that it's going to face an almost impossible path in the Senate from the moment it gets there, if it ever even does, and I do mean "if". Thune's reluctance, Cruz's spite, Blumenthal and Blackburn's insistence on something worse, the progressive wing's hostility toward age verification, and Wyden's stubborn use of procedural hurdles almost guarantee a death by a thousand cuts.
Do. Not. Panic. Do not get demoralized, do not let yourselves be defeated in advance, do not fall for doomer misinformation on other subs and YouTube, and do not fucking give up.”

Sure, we're in a "smut renaissance," but maybe you've noticed we're also in a Christian Nationalist censorship regime that is trying to restrict the internet. (Might be worth mentioning!) These aren't unrelated. As "hardcore" is demonized and erased, social acceptance of "softcore" rises.

This is exactly right. Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less. We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation. Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.

one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite SW shows
There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.

Remember this, Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

Remember this: Try.

The "internet safety" bills being rammed through Congress and state legislatures are this generations equivalent of the Patriot Act — a path for mass surveillance, censorship and surrendering of fundamental rights. It creates ICE for the internet.
