Seriously, call your Senators now. This needs to be stopped before it goes any further. They want to drive LGBTQIA+ off the internet entirely, and Democrats are on board.

@charliejane Just called. A script I threw together for myself:
"Hi, this is [name] from [city]. The Kids Online Safety Act is a bad bill with a wholesome name. The ACLU has been explaining how terrible it is for years, the Heritage Foundation has admitted that they'll use it to make trans kids' lives hell, and there just isn't an argument about it any more. But now it's being redrafted out of the public eye, with no input from civil-liberties or LGBTQ rights groups, and all we hear are leaks to Axios about yet another privacy-imperiling age-verification requirement maybe being shoved in. Can we please get a clear-cut rejection of this bill and some good legislation instead?"
