A reminder to call your reps today! KOSA has been sandwiched into the KIDS Act and is still a huge censorship threat. You can use this tool- it takes just a few minutes:

AI is extremely prone to bias & errors, but militaries and law enforcement agents are offloading the weight of literal life & death decisions to AI-powered programs. futurism.com/artificial-i...
In its strikes on Iran, Israel is likely utilizing AI tools tested & honed through its ongoing genocide in Gaza––the first AI-fueled genocide in the history of the world.

For months we’ve watched ICE weaponize AI surveillance tools to intimidate & abduct people from communities across the country - the suppliers of these same tools are fueling U.S. attacks on Venezuela & Iran via Palantir’s Project Maven & Anthropic’s Claude AI. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/w...
tweet from Mark Meador @MeadorFTC on Mar 5 People who argue that age verification requires collecting and retaining massive troves of personal data are not operating in good faith. They're just paid by people who want to prey on your kids.
Trump's FTC Chair posts that people opposing age-verification surveillance are just shills being "being paid by people who want to prey on your kids."
The lengths this administration goes to delegitimize dissent is staggering.
"What if every time you leave your home the police affix a tracking device to your car that allows them to record and store information about every trip you make to the homes of friends, the store, your house of worship, your work and everywhere else you go"

Urgent Action Needed! The House Energy & Commerce Committee has passed the App Store Accountability Act and the KIDS Act (a package including the Kids Online Safety Act). These bills threaten to age-gate and censor the Internet if they become law. Call your House representatives and tell them to vote NO on these bills! We'll provide you with a suggestion of what to say and connect you directly with your lawmaker's office.
That being said, we're still in need of URGENT ACTION these Bad Internet Bills did indeed pass out of committee.
Call your lawmakers today, tomorrow- again and again!

"Movement groups that have warned of the danger ID checks pose to abortion access, immigrants, & LGBTQ youth for years appreciate @aoc.bsky.social using her position to push back. It's more important than ever."
@sarahephilips.bsky.social Campaign Director at @fightforthefuture.org
@aoc.bsky.social cites Discord's rollout of age verification as a case study on why online ID checks mandates spell disaster for online experiences across the age spectrum.
www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...
@aoc.bsky.social details: "It's being used as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want... a national surveillance program where they can harvest the personal and private data of every American with zero actual protections for people and their privacy."
ICYMI: Last week @aoc.bsky.social ripped age verification mandates to shreds at the kids online safety bills markup- accurately summed up what we and other human rights, LGBTQ+ and youth advocacy orgs have been saying for years!

Here are a few things @fightforthefuture.org has done over the years:
🔥 organized the largest online protest ... ever
🔥 got 40+ music festivals to ban facial recognition
🔥 exposed & ended Amazon police partnerships
🔥 got 60+ college campuses to reduce surveillance
Plz donate if you can!
call your reps. This package was pushed through the house.
Oh yes, UKOSA and what we're seeing happen in Australia is telling us the predictions for censorship are spot on. Still time to fight this in the U.S.!
That's right!
But let's not forget, while this is typical behavior we expect from the Right, Democrats, even ones who claim to be allies to LGTBQ communities like @warren.senate.gov , are green-lighting this! Our Director @evangreer.bsky.social talks about how in @teenvogue.com : www.teenvogue.com/story/some-d...
![Her fellow Tennessee Republican, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), has been clear about just which “ideologies” need to be stopped.

NEW: Latest from @techdirt.com goes in on what 'kids safety' bills are actually intended for (mass online censorship), and the ideological basis for doing so. They claim to want to protect children from p*rn online--take a good look at how they define that.

If I may be millennial and cringe for a moment, my organization @fightforthefuture.org has been running campaigns trying to strike down US government surveillance and corporate data harvesting for years.
like ... since before anyone had ever heard of Edward Snowden or Cambridge Analytica ;-)
Providers: "Age verification" has nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with getting your face and personal info for their surveillance databases.
Don't bend the knee to your future self being set up.
Data brokers &Big Tech can do almost anything they want with our personal info. These practices endanger all of us!

🚨 Congress is advancing a bill called #KOSA that will ramp up mass surveillance and censorship online under the guise of protecting youth. In truth, this will endager everyone in the LGBTQ community, including young people.
Please go to stopkosa.com to tell Congress NO @fightforthefuture.org
Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.
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.
Make it stick and get these banned at your favorite local business and other public access spaces using some of our tools.
