Petitions to stop KOSA + information about Project 2025 Masterpost

Hello! This is my first post on this blog. While most other people would make a self-introduction as their first post, I feel like this is much more important.

So, you might have heard about the revival of the dangerous KOSA bill this year, with a January 2024 deadline to stop it. I've decided to get every possible petition I can find online for everyone to sign. Here are the links:

Tell the Senate: KOSA Will Censor the Internet But Won't Help Kids

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would censor the internet and would make government officials the arbiters of what young people can see on

For those unfamiliar with the KOSA bill and why it's bad, it's basically a censorship and surveillance bill disguised as a way to "protect children".

What it does is it would pressure platforms into using content filters that would censor anything that is deemed "inappropriate" for minors, including topics of LGBTQ, mental health resources, race, gender, and basically anything that Republicans dislike.

It would increase surveillance by increasing the use of ID age verification and parental monitoring tools. This would be very bad for those in abusive home situations.

This bill is unconstitutional because it breaks the first and fourth amendments.

This would not only change the way minors use the internet, but everyone, regardless of age, will be effected by this bill. Every site would be effected by this, especially Tumblr.

Censorship will not help protect people, and it only limits what information we're allowed to see, which would give the government more control over everyone. In fact, the KOSA bill is actually a part of the Project 2025 plan that the Republicans will use to dictate this country. Don't believe me? The Heritage Foundation (a Right-Wing hate group), even said so in a twitter post. (tried posting the video here but Tumblr won't let me)

Also, one of the writers for the bill is a Republican and has even admitted to saying that it will target trans content:

If you don't already know what Project 2025 is, it's basically Trump's plan to turn the country into an authoritarian, fascist nightmare. Here's an article that does better explaining:

PBS NewsHour

Conservatives aim to restructure U.S. government and replace it with Trump's vision

The goal is to avoid the pitfalls of Trump’s first years in office, when the Republican president’s team was ill-prepared, his Cabinet nomin

Basically, if any Republican candidate gets elected, they will enact Project 2025. It's very important that you vote for a Democrat, no matter who it is, even if we have to vote for Biden again.

So with all this said, it's very important that we stop this KOSA bill so we don't give the Republicans a chance to enact Project 2025. While there are still other Internet bills we need to speak out against, KOSA is the most urgent since it could be voted on as soon as January.

Please do whatever you can to stop this KOSA bill. Call your representatives, call your senators, sign petitions, and spread this post around as much as you can. Blaze this if you have to.
