Indonesia to Ban YouTube, TikTok, Other Social Media Apps for Children Under 16 Indonesia is the latest country to block social media, saying the apps pose "increasingly real threats" to young people.

EFF is appalled by how quickly and uncritically internet restrictions are being adopted around the world, David Greene told CNET. "Even if they are under 18, or under 16, children have the right to access information, to speak and to associate.” www.cnet.com/tech/servic...

They are adding anti-trans legislation to the "SAVE America Act/SAVE Act." It'll likely be used as a "gotcha" to get Senate Democrats on board.

CALL YOUR REPS. TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON THIS BILL. TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

Apparently Platner may have been his bartender at one point?

He supposedly also served a small host of other powerful people, which people are speculating thats how he got so much campaign money/influence.

I saw someone mention it earlier but don't have a specific post on hand.

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.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.

Another war in the Middle East.

Are we great again yet?

Utah’s Proposal To Tax Online Pornography Is A Civil Liberties Disaster Waiting To Happen

Republican lawmakers in Utah have long been on the cutting edge of shitty policymaking when it comes to regulating the internet. The latest chapter in that legacy is a proposed tax on porn and adult content…

Repeat after me: the purity chasing in fandom is moral bigotry.

The same cloth, same exact one, every stitch and pattern-
Fascists cut from to isolate and kill marginalized communities.

That’s why you’re being called fascists. Not because you don’t like -insert art/fiction here-

Utah 'Porn Tax' Bill Will Head to Governor's Desk A bill that would tax adult websites and make them liable if minors circumvent geolocation has passed the Utah state legislature and will soon head to the office of Gov. Spencer Cox for signature or v...

Utah AV Law update & Porn Tax passes both houses & goes to Governor's desk.

Call your reps and tell them to oppose any similar bills. Also @netchoice.bsky.social looks like you'll be working overtime now...

Headline from UnHerd: "UK ban on extreme porn is not anti-freedom"

Labelling someone else's consensual sexuality "extreme" is a time-honored way of limiting sexual freedom and policing sexual practice.

It's been repeatedly used by the state to patrol sex workers, queers, trans people, people of color and kinksters.

Always in the name of protecting society.

#savespeech #stopKOSA #NOTODIGITALID

Today is the day. Call the committee before 10am and let them know to NOT vote on KOSA, KIDS, SCREEN, ASAA, COPPA 2.0, and SAMMY'S LAW.

But remember: if it DOES pass the markup, its NOT the end of the road. We MUST. KEEP. FIGHTING.

House E&C: 2022253641

#savespeech #notodigitalID #stopKOSA

Small update. Unfortunate news with KIDS Act and Sammy's Law.

Note: Supposedly it was 24 yays & 28 nays but 4 nays got reversed.

Again, keep calling reps and DONT. FUCKING. PANIC. AND. DONT. DOOMPOST.

BREAKING: An open letter with 60,000 people was sent to @housecommerce.bsky.social detailing opposition to age verification bills

We are the people who grew up on the internet. If anyone knows about harms it caused, it's us. Not parents, not congress, us.

Wait, its not a musical instrument?

Here's a thing you might try, just for fun, just maybe to not make things worse: not amplify batshittery when you don't know source.

Information has three components: content (which is what you're spreading foolishly), cost, and source. If you don't know source, why are you spreading the content?

RESULT: Over & over, Democratic lawmaker Shelly Willingham helped the North Carolina GOP override the vetoes of Governor Stein & Cooper.

He lost just now to a progressive challenger, 56% to 44%.

(And he's likely one of several in this position. Stay tuned.)

I remember going with my exgirlfriend when she was in grad school to target because they would have cool clothes and we could get decently priced groceries and then they were even little trinkets that were like five dollars to throw on a windowsill

Now, when you walk in, it’s all dollar store crap

there's a person on Twitter claiming they've been laid off from their job and they were actually a middle age man employed by the feds to monitor leftist queer spaces by pretending to be a toxic, political 19yo plural who likes vocaloid

and it's not important whether it's true...

According to payment processors, purchasing fictional sexy art is grossly immoral.

Betting on school children getting blown up is fine though.

finally we're doing some game theory

he is going to be so incredibly mad if the next Dem president rolls up to his ballroom with a wrecking ball on Day 1 that It Might Happen and that alone is reason enough to do it

Good shit. Trump talked about passing this during the SOTU and the fact it died just a few days after would be embarrassing for basically any other president.

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

The indexing server went down for a bit.

Its possible they're rotating out for maintenance or something, because even when it was borked for me, it only was so for like half the userbase.

If its still down for you it might be that way for like a hour or so.

That said, did you delete the post? Its one of the few things I'm still not seeing. (I did see it before, then it disappeared and hasn't come back)

And it seems to be fixed, at least on my end.

Oh, I think the server doing API indexing got fixed, because suddenly stuff is coming up properly.
