! CW: SEWERSLIDE MENTIONS, SH, SLIGHT POLITICAL TALK, CAPS, AND CURSING!!

this is a repost of a thread by baldleonkennedy and starZ, go boost the original!

!! IF THIS GETS PASSED IT WILL TAKE 18 MONTHS OR A YEAR TO GO INTO EFFECT !!!

this bill has been declined in the past, unfortunately SOME lawmakers don't learn that if people don't want it twice, they don't want it at all

what is KOSA?: KOSA, or the kids online safety act, is a mass censorship bill PLANNED to pass in september, it will get rid of anything and everything the U.S government doesn't like on the internet, for example, LGBTQIA content, possibly some horror movies, and it will SILENCE any and all LGBTQIA creators, your parent/guardian will be able to see everything and anything you do online and your search history if your a minor, and even if your not a minor, you'll have to upload your I.D. just to have access to social media, which will most likely lead to literally doxxing yourself. If this bill passes sewerslide rates, SH rates, and mental health issues for teens rates will skyrocket. i also think this will effect music and education, students wont be able to learn REAL things. as someone in a more younger grade(over 5th dw) i want to learn about my town, but if KOSA passes, i wont be able to learn REAL things, i'll only learn what the government wants me to learn.

message from starZ about KOSA: as someone who wants to do social media as a career, this bill will take away all chances i have of doing that, imagine how less money YOUR favorite creators will make, meaning they will not be able to do as much as they want to.

summery: KOSA is a very bad bill which plans to censor and get rid of anything and everything the U.S. government doesn't like on the internet.

how can i help?: go to badinternetbills.com and/or stopkosa.com for ways to call/email your senators and petitions to sign, post how bad KOSA is, and spread the word about KOSA. @omarsbigsister and @doctor_jason on tiktok have more info. DO NOT CONSTANTLY ASK FOR UPDATES. make sure to properly explain to senators how bad KOSA is, bring up sewerslide rates, and if your a minor BRING UP YOUR AGE, minors don't usually take part to oppose a bill the government make, so currently minors are convincing senators just how bad this bill is.

should i tell an adult/parent/guardian?: only if you know 100% what you are telling them is true, make sure to say all bad parts of this bill.

i've realized people aren't talking about it as much as they should be, so im posting this. as a minor in the U.S. i need social media, social media is the reason i haven't k!ll3d myself already. if social media gets taken away me and so many other minors will be driven to insanity and/or sewerslide. the entire U.S. needs your help. you can help even if you aren't in the U.S. /srs

this bill is FUCKING TERRIBLE.

I DON'T CARE HOW FUCKING BUSY YOU ARE, HELP BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKING PUSHING FOR THIS STUPID ASS BILL TO PASS.

WE ONLY HAVE A FEW MORE DAYS UNTIL SEPTEMBER AND I'M WORRYING MY ASS OFF SINCE I KNOW DAMN WELL IF PEOPLE DONT FUCKING DO SOMETHING THIS WILL FUCKING PASS. I'M NOT GONNA SUGARCOAT IT. KEEP CALLING AND EMAILING SENATORS. KEEP SPEAKING UP THAT YOU DON'T WANT THIS BILL. KEEP SPREADING THIS. DO NOT STOP SPEAKING UP THAT YOU DON'T WANT THIS.

IF YOU CALL YOUR SENATORS AS A MINOR, MENTION YOUR AGE!! IT'S NOT EVERYDAY THAT MINORS OPPOSE A BILL THE GOVERNMENT OFFERS SO SENATORS ARE LISTENING TO MINORS MORE!!
