Just got an email from my state representative (Massachusetts, US) that they are planning on working on a bill to require age verification for social media. I’m against this. I’d like to send him a message explaining why this is a bad idea. Does anyone have a template for something like this? I feel like someone must have crafted a good politician-facing language for this already. #uspol #mapol #ageverification

Amazing, EFF has published a letter regarding this specific bill: https://www.eff.org/document/eff-letter-opposing-ma-h5349-social-media-ban

@jklolling@hear-me.social I don't have a link to a letter template but EFF has a resources page that might help in writing a letter. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/age-verification-coming-internet-we-built-you-resource-hub-fight-back #USpol #AgeVerification
