something not talked about enough with these "protect the children" bills designed to "rein in big tech" is the fact that there is so much Non-Big Tech getting lumped in with Apple and Google. what do you fucking mean you want me to mail my birth certificate to Linux before i can use debian???

If you haven't called any of your reps yet, or it's been over 3 weeks, PLEASE call them today and tell them you oppose all ID verification bills.
It's great if you can include each bills name but if you get nervous and flub up, just mentioning you don't want any internet surveillance will work.

Itβs funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim βadult illustrationsβ is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They donβt have an answer.
In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)
