Not the anon, but Kosa is a bill that's soon going to pass where minors on the internet get their parents to see what they search up and restrict things that are deemed "inappropriate." When in reality it prevents kids who are trying to learn about the lbgtq community and kids trying to identify abuse. The bill will change the internet forever and NOT in a good way.

Im pretty sure the anon is trying to ask you to spread awareness about this.

Some links to prevent this are:

hi please consider sharing these two trusted mutual aid funds to help with disaster relief in the appalachians/the southeast U.S. after hurricane helene. Many towns in the appalachians have been wiped out entirely and/or have been landlocked by landslides with no power or cell signal, and are only reachable by air. all roads to Asheville are blocked or gone entirely. Chimney Rock had much of it destroyed. Many places in the southeast other than the Carolina mountains, especially Florida, are facing much the same. it will take a long time to rebuild, especially the roads, but for now please considering sharing or donating to help people in need who are trapped or lost their homes and loved ones.

A Violation of Two Amendments

If you’ve seen a lot of posts online about KOSA, it’s because it has the potential to drastically change the internet.

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) is a proposed bill receiving U.S. Democratic and Republican support.

It pulls on strong concerns about the safety of children, especially the fabricated concerns of LGBT+ topics propagandized by conservatives. It would permit the government to censor the internet at will, restricting what information is available online for everyone, even people in other countries.

The bill would permit attorneys general to prevent basic information about healthcare, mental health, world news, and more from being accessible online, keeping adults as well as children from finding important information and resources.

There are valid concerns about the internet and its ability to harm people, especially children. I have written a thesis specifically about the relationships between mental health and social media. In no way would I ever advocate for increased censorship in the way that this bill does.

It specifically violates the First Amendment of the Constitution, inserting governmental control over people’s speech, the sharing of news, and the sharing of opinions. This would be placing the responsibility of parenting on the government, and allowing them to determine exactly what children -and adults- are allowed to learn.

Furthermore, it is disguised as a bill to ‘protect children’, and that phrase itself has unfortunately become a dog whistle for conservatives referring to LGBT+ topics existing in the world. This bill is extremely dangerous to young LGBT+ individuals.

It is also dangerous to people of different races, nationalities, economic backgrounds, and gun owners. This is because it would virtually mandate age verification. This poses danger for children, people facing domestic abuse, and houseless people, as well as violating the Fourteenth Amendment, which asserts that the state cannot exert undue control over its citizens’ private lives.

Many organizations and websites have initiated petitions and calls to action to express disapproval of this bill, outlining its rights violations, and helping individuals find out how to contact their senators. Some of those resources are linked below.

🌿 ART FOR HURRICANE AID 🌿

You may have heard about Hurricane Helene recently devastating parts of the US, including the mountains of NC, my home state.

Since this disaster is especially close to my heart, I would like to offer some drawings for anyone willing to help.

Folks I know in the area are safe, but they & many others are still without basic utilities or are in even more dire situations.

via AP: https://apnews.com/article/hurricane-helene-north-carolina-asheville-f02869c7d01e68f2d7f0553abb82252f

Here are three suggestions for places to contribute:

Mutual Aid Disaster Relief: https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/mutual-aid-disaster-relief

World Central Kitchen: https://donate.wck.org/give/622465/#!/donation/checkout

Red Cross: https://www.redcross.org/donate/dr/hurricane-helene.html/

Please share this & consider donating if you can. It would mean the world to me!

It's time to hold these fossil fuel corporations and chemical companies accountable for their plastic pollution. Visit the link below and make 2 simple phone calls to Assembly Speaker Carl E. Heastie and Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins to demand they pass The Packaging Reduction & Recycling Act, which would cut all packaging waste by 50% and remove toxic chemicals including PFAS. We need to ensure that our New York State legislative leaders pass this critical bill before June 9! https://actionnetwork.org/forms/urge-leg-leaders-pass-prria?clear_id=true&source=direct_link

However I still recommend sending letters to US reps :

https://act.uscpr.org/a/actiondonate?oa_action=JeninStopFundingMassacres (US ONLY)

https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-ceasefire-now?source=IG_ceasefire

And here are better donation options :

EDIT : I would like to apologize once again. The post I linked before was spreading misinformation. I should’ve done a bit of research myself—

Thought you might be interested in spreading this one for putting on pressure to speed up selecting and locking in Biden's nominees for various positions which could extend past Trump's term and help mitigate the damage the Republicans will do, to my understanding from a quick read.

https://actionnetwork.org/letters/schumer-must-confirm-bidens-outstanding-appts/?link_id=0&can_id=4c4a14d36bef3107bf8ddd59b2d51556&source=email-tell-schumer-no-breaks-until-confirmations-are-done&email_referrer=email_2534413&email_subject=tell-schumer-no-breaks-until-confirmations-are-done

Generally speaking, I don't find that these petitions actually accomplish much, except for giving your contact information out to be sold. It would be a much better idea for people to contact their senators using something like ResistBot. :)
