If You're Not Scared Right Now About Losing Net Neutrality; You Should Be. Study Up Folks, Or 2018 Is

I cannot stress enough how dangerous KOSA is.

killing safe spaces endangers people's lives. many minors and people in marginalized groups losing online friends and spaces can and will kill many people's happiness and in the worst case, the will to live.

I personally keep going because of my online friends. I will lose them if KOSA passes.

this is the same case for many minors (and adults) online.

censoring sexual health will be terrible for many. if there are people out there having sex without knowing the proper safety precautions to take to prevent injury/illness, it will be massively horrific.

all outcry for a ceasefire in Palestine and activism will be censored to oblivion.

if there are people who live in unsafe households, they might never be able to find safety until they become adults, which is far too late.

KOSA is a sick attempt to make the internet a place where there are few ways to be safe.

stop KOSA. it will literally save fucking lives.

sign petitions to stop it. please. spread awareness.

Hey, so, uh…

KOSA literally violates the First Amendment freedoms. If this is passed, then that means the Constitution and Bill of Rights are basically void, because Congress are ignoring them. THATS A PROBLEM

As a teen myself, it pisses me off. I wish for anarchy, with everything the US government has been doing, from supporting Israhell to this bullshit.

Please, do what you can to prevent this from getting passed. It violates everyone’s rights in the US, and if it gets passed, then we’re back to where we started; a monarchy. Just with far too many people.

what the hell is going on in this country?!

KOSA'S BACK

I'm not going to leave this unmentioned as the news isn't doing enough to warn people. The short of it is, the bill which disguises itself as a means to make the web safer was written by The Heritage Foundation to give the FTC full authority on what's deemed safe on the web. Under the new administration, it will be used to censor LGBT content. We know this was the point, as its proponents have shared this exact plan. It can still be beaten if called and emailed their senators, making it clear what harm the bill will do I'll link pages that can give you a line to your lawmakers, a way to write to them, and also a petition to sign.. The former only takes two minutes, and the latter has a pre-written script if you need it. This is more than important enough for your time. Even if you're in a red state, some conservatives oppose this bill beleive it will silence conservative voices too, so if you think that line of reasoning would work better on them, go for it!

Fight for the Future

Stop KOSA

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a fr

What is net neutrality?

So Anon, I am very glad you asked this! Net Neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites. So, say you pay $19.99 a month for Internet right? All websites are included in that one price. You get Google, YouTube, Tumblr, and every other website for free after you pay the base coverage of $19.99 a month.However, Ajit Pai is trying to eliminate net neutrality, so companies that offer Internet service (Verizon as an example) can charge extra for websites and other applications on the Internet. So, again, say you pay $19.99 a month for Internet right? Well you only get a limited number of websites you can go on that are maintained and mandated by your Internet provider. So you wanna go on YouTube? Oh you have to by an extra $6.99 a month for that. You wanna go to academic websites for research? An extra $7.99 for that. You wanna go on Tumblr and Deviant art and AO3? Extra $4.99 a month for that. So without net neutrality, we are going to pay extra for websites that we use commonly everyday.Imagine having to pay extra to your Internet provider just to write a college paper. Imagine paying extra to seek therapeutic help through crisis websites for suicide and anxiety. Imagine having to pay extra just to express yourself online and keep our 1st Amendment, that we have freedom of speech and expression. These are just a few if the reasons why I myself am against it. Of course there are articles everywhere making the debate whether or not we should eliminate net neutrality. I’d highly recommend reading up on some of the articles, as they are informative, eye-opening, and have a clear basis as to what will happen if the government does vote to eliminate net neutrality.Hope this helps Anon!!!! -Admin Germane :3

DO NOT DO THIS.

This makes me so angry.

If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you.

My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic.

When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die.

If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded.

Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing.

Please signal boost this so people know.
