  Americans! Updates on "Internet Safety" bills: -Hawley and Durbin are trying to sneak the unconstitutional STOP CSAM Act into the FY27 NDAA. Hawley allegedly managed to get it included it in the manager's amendment. This means it has a higher chance than previous attempts at being successful. -Still, there's procedural roadblocks that the bill has to clear to survive until the final passage. The manager's amendment is reserved for uncontroversial amendments. -The Senate C...

  >SCOTUS upholds transgender sports bans All I can say is this: The transgender community deserves so much better then this. I'm sorry that the world is failing you. You deserve to not only survive, but thrive. I hope the world will reflect that one day. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransRights #LGBTQ #SCOTUS #HumanRights

  AMERICANS, ESPECIALLY NEW YORKERS! NEW BAD BILL ALERT: New York's government is trying to rush through a bill that is very similar to bills like OSA and KOSA: Stop Online Predators Act (S4609/A6549). The bill passed committee in the Senate early last month which means a floor vote might not be too far behind. New York is a highly influential state. If a law passes there, there is an increased chance other states will pass similar bills. This could be a domino effect and lead to KOSA a...

  Apparently, Massachusetts, a blue state, is trying to fast track a "Social Media Safety" bill that's about as restrictive as the one currently in effect in Florida (mandates AV, bans anyone under 14 from social media, requires giving a birth certificate to verify parental consent, requires enormous amounts of data collection, and the bill's definition of a social media site is so broad that it would include sites like Wikipedia and The Trevor Project). Massachus...

  On comparatively better state level AV bill news: The Governor of Wisconsin vetoed an Age Verification bill that passed both of the state's chambers. This bill would have required hard identifiers (ex: Government ID) for Age Verification. The governor seems to be in favor of a device based age verification solution similar to what California, Colorado, and Illinois are doing. So, it's not good, but it's better than requiring hard identifiers. #Privacy #FreeSpeech #Cen...

  Canadians! Don't think your federal government isn't itching to become a fascist police state. There are plenty of terrible bills that are floating around that will help them accomplish that. Call your Senators and House of Commons Reps and tell them to oppose these bills! https://oncanadaproject.ca/findyourrep #Privacy #FreeSpeech #Censorship #Internet #DigitalRights #SocialMedia #Canada

  RE: https://ieji.de/@GalacticGoddess/115652094528258948 Canadians! Another reminder that these bills are rapidly progressing through the chambers. Bill C-12 passed while Bills C-8, C-9, and S-209 passed their first chambers and are rapidly progressing through their second chambers. If these bills weren't bad enough, the Canadian government is trying to rush a bill that's essentially the United States' FISA and CLOUD Act rolled into one: C-22, the Lawful Access Act. C-22's gu...
