@Dan4Neo Thank you for being positive in this situation we can win this

Again, good news is that, even if KOSA passes the Senate, this just puts it into a conference committee, where it's likely to die

@TimMurphyUSA I just did today. we can win against this tyranny.

For the sake of our freedoms, tell your senators to say NO to KOSA!

@DuckDuckGo @DeepHumor This could change Internet for the better

Nearly two years since a judge ruled Google an illegal monopolist. Total changes Google has had to make so far: zero. That's what getting away with it looks like. The SEARCH Act can end it now. spreadprivacy.com/searchact/

@Roblox_RTC @Roblox_RTC What class do you play in Animal Hospital. I play security

Starting September 21st, Roblox will limit Roblox Plus users to one free Private Server per game instead of allowing unlimited free servers for the same game.

If flock calls me a terrorist for not liking mass surveillance, then so be it. I'm not scared of them

Stop cutting down all the Flock cameras! They're for our protection and we need more of them.

Why age verification doesn't have to be impossible in a time of social media bans - @jeffmacarthur and I talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of how governments are approaching the challenge on The AmberMac Show! Let us know your thoughts (and solutions!) in the comments.

@RepHouchin How about you let parents decide. You are lazy and I have no respect for you. I have no respect for corporate shells for the government.

The evidence is clear: social media is harming our kids. It’s time to raise the minimum age to 16.

@Bentley4Texas @BLkhoih96132 Be quiet puppet you're a government shell promoting this new world order scheme. Go away

This is exactly the kind of misinformation surrounding SB 2420 that keeps getting repeated. First, age verification laws do not violate the First Amendment. Courts have long recognized that government may impose age-based restrictions to protect children and regulate activities involving minors. Second, Texans are not suddenly being forced to upload a digital ID every time they download an app, read the news, or use the internet. I downloaded an app in Texas today without showing an ID. Why? Because SB 2420 is tied primarily to account creation, not every app download. And, it DOES NOT mandate a digital id for age verification. Apple and Google already collect birthdates when users create accounts. Under SB 2420, age assurance occurs when a new account is established using a commercially reasonable method. Once an account is recognized as belonging to an adult, the platform can pass an age category, such as "adult", without repeatedly requesting identification or requesting a digital id at all. Apple has already implemented tools that allow this process to occur largely behind the scenes. The law is not a ban on speech. It is not a government-mandated digital ID system. It is a child protection law that requires app stores to verify age and involve parents when minors create accounts and enter into digital contracts. We already accept age verification for alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and countless other age-restricted activities. The digital marketplace should not receive a special exemption when it comes to protecting children.

Law is about contracts not porn. It's blocking Americans from freely from accessing free speech. Why can't Texans access the news? Why can't they get a video game? Why can't they get substack or many many other things without handing over an ID. This violates 1A

🚨Update: Fascist Police State: Britain is planning banning on restricting VPNs as part of their new social media ban for anyone 16 years old and younger. North Korea also bans VPNs!

The proposed social media ban for under-16s is a positive step towards improving online safety. However, lasting change will require greater accountability from tech companies and a clear Government plan for further protections to keep children safe online. #OnlineSafety

The Free Speech Union has serious concerns about the Government’s proposal to ban under-16s from some social media platforms (but not others). When the proposal was first announced, ministers cited supposedly 'harmful' platforms such as X, Facebook and YouTube, but made no mention of the left-leaning Bluesky. A selective ban, rather than a blanket one, means Ofcom will be tasked with enforcing the political preferences of whichever government happens to be in power. If there's a change of government, will X be taken off the banned list and Bluesky put in its place? Another concern is enforcement. How exactly does the Government intend to make the ban work in practice? In Australia — the model ministers appear keen to follow — many under-16s continue to access social media through VPNs. Will the Government’s next step be to ban VPNs as well? That would put the UK in the same company as Turkmenistan, Iran and North Korea. The Government has also failed to explain how this proposal can be reconciled with its duties under the Online Safety Act to protect content of democratic importance and journalistic content — duties that are due to come into force next month. This is particularly important given the Government’s intention to extend some social media restrictions to 16 and 17 year-olds and at the same time lower the voting age to 16. How can 16 and 17 year-olds be expected to participate meaningfully in the democratic process if the Government is restricting the content of democratic importance and the journalistic content they're able to access? The Free Speech Union will be keeping a wary eye on the Government’s plans 👇

Canada, We Need to Take Back Democracy #together -- Tell the Carney Government to Mind their Own Damn Business! This is happening to multiple countries at the same time. Don't be fooled! Call your Canadian Member of Parliament! ourcommons.ca/Members/en/sea… Child safety starts with parents, not the state. But the systems behind it would turn age checks into ID checks for everyone. What starts as age checks would become a system where ordinary people are identified, tracked and monitored just to find information, speak, share and take part online. Don’t let age checks become Digital ID by the back door. Children do not independently acquire smartphones or iphones These devices are bought, configured, and managed by parents or carers. No child enters the online world without an adult making that decision first. And parents already have tools available to them. A parent who wants a child-lock on a phone can switch one on today. For free. It is already built into modern devices. Screen-time limits, app restrictions, and content filters exist right now and are widely available. Despite this, what is now being proposed is a shift towards mandatory, system-wide enforcement built into every device, and applied to every user. @TogetherDeclaration @TogetherDeclaration" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@TogetherDecla…

This week the government is taking action to support children’s wellbeing by banning social media platforms from offering services to under 16s. The internet should be a space where parents and carers feel confident to support and empower their children online whilst knowing they are safe. @HounslowHerald @leicesterliz hounslowherald.com/feltham-heston…

🚨 Bill C-9 has passed. Bill C-22 is being rammed through next, the so-called “Lawful Access Act” that forces data retention, opens the door to backdoors, and hands the Minister of Public Safety sweeping powers over our digital lives. And this is just the latest in the Liberals’ steady stream of privacy-eroding, speech-controlling, surveillance-expanding bills. The pattern is obvious: more centralized control in Ottawa, less freedom for Canadians. I know a lot of you are carrying real stress and anxiety right now. It’s understandable. Watching the country shift this way, bill by bill, feels heavy and disorienting. We must be adaptable. Don’t let the isolation win. Gather locally. Build real communities with people you trust. Neighbours, friends, families. Share information face-to-face. Support one another. Strengthen the networks that actually matter when systems get tighter. That’s where resilience lives. Stay sharp. Stay connected. Keep moving 🫡👊
