The goal isn't to protect children,
the goal is to de-anonymize every comment and action on the internet, associating it with a legal ID, by eventually requesting official identification from every adult using a computer.

Some politicians have already stated this plainly.

This leads to censorship of anyone criticizing their government.

This leads to repression of marginalized people, especially immigrants, people of color, and trans and gender diverse people.

This leads to self-censorship of any comments or actions that could be interpreted against the system. Such as speaking out against fascism and authoritarian surveillance, or defending human rights publicly.

This leads to total control of the population and its tools of communications.

This leads to the end of democracy, centralizing power even more in the hands of a few.

Do not let them do this to us.

@Em0nM4stodon In the US, we need to fight against KOSA, which is advancing in our legislature.

The Kids Online Safety Act Will Make the Internet Worse for Everyone

This bill won’t bother big tech. Large companies will be able to manage this regulation, which is why Apple and X have agreed to support it. In fact, X helped negotiate the text of the last version of this bill we saw. Meanwhile, those companies’ smaller competitors will be left scrambling to comply. Under KOSA, a small platform hosting mental health discussion boards will be just as vulnerable as Meta or TikTok—but much less able to defend itself.

The Kids Online Safety Act Will Make the Internet Worse for Everyone

Lawmakers who support KOSA today are choosing to trust the current administration, and future administrations, to define what youth—and to some degree, all of us—should be allowed to read online. 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.

@unfinishedsymphony @Em0nM4stodon I consider the #USA a #RogueNation akin to "P.R." #China, #Russia, #KSA, #NorthKorea and #Iran:

  • One does not comply to their demands!
  • One does not cooperate with them!
  • One does not regard them as anything but a hostile actor / force!
  • One does not trust them with anything regardless of triviality!!

@[email protected] thus the only valid reaction is to *proactively refuse to comply* and *actively sabotage such cyberfascidt efforts! - I mean, what's next? - #Russia's #Roskomnadnozr demanding *"#KYC"* of #Users for using #WiFi? - *"P.R."* #China's *"Cybersecurity Administration"* demanding system-wide blocking of #VPN & @[email protected] / #Tor? Just like noone should comply with that #cyberfascism, so should noone comply with #US-based cyberfascism either! - Use #Monero and give #ITAR the finger… - Refuse to finance #terrorism by refusing to create taxable revenue for U.S. corporations! I certainly won't comply with cyberfascism in @OS1337 and any *"#AgeVerification"* is #fascist bullshit under false pretense that needs to be outlawed!
