This is exactly right.
Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.
We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.
Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.
Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.
UK democracy in action
The state unable/unwilling to provide people with clean water, timely healthcare, social care, decent housing, pension, affordable education, energy, decent roads.
Corporate profits guaranteed through PFI, privatisations, outsourcing, subsidies, regulatory inaction.
Patrick Breyer's the one that has been championing the fight against Chat Control since the beginning as far as I know, so please do as he says and contact your MEPs or the Libe commission via fightchatcontrol.eu
They already have an example email you can use if you need it.

Wait, you're not actually a Simpson's character?!?
You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.
Full stop.
"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name
We have to stop this.

NetChoiceβs Digital Safety Shield for America provides a policy plan for lawmakers on both the state and federal level.
Working together, we can stop digital criminals, protect kids, and empower parents online while upholding the rights of Americans.
I think @taylorlorenz.bsky.social's voice on the banning of social media needs to be heard widely in any UK debate, before we follow Australia into folly. Having lived through the original "satanic panic", the hysteria now is reminiscent of that era.

Talking about Chat Control and why emailing your representatives matters <3

The government's consultation on children's online safety - including social media, AI, and phones in schools - has now opened:
gov.uk/government/c...
I encourage children and young people, their parents and carers, and anyone with an interest in young people's wellbeing, to take part.
Govt consultation on banning social media for underβ16s is live. The questions feel leading and a ban seems inevitable. As someone who grew up with LGBT info withheld from me under Thatcher, I think this will cut vulnerable teens off from support networks and information. www.gov.uk/government/c...

So basically Epstein would have been significantly defanged by universal healthcare and basic income.
You very obviously did not read my book!!!! lol. Regardless, the moral panic about kids & internet access is baseless and every single top academic who studies this topic has said so. The campaign u support is led by Heritage Foundation & Morality in Media, their goal is censorship and surveillance

None of the boycotts or protests are going to matter if the bills in this thread pass.
Same goes for the countries that have their own iterations of this stuff. Did you know #chatcontrol also includes an AV demand?
Call your reps, I don't care what country, CALL THEM AND SAY NO

Thereβs also the sad point that part of βsex educationβ is understanding and identifying SA and knowing to report it. If kids donβt know about the no-no places, how do they know to tell the police where the MAGA touched them?
Why Tehranβs Two-Tiered Internet Is So Dangerous - www.schneier.com/blog/archive... "Unlike Chinaβs censorship regime, #Iranβs overlay model is highly exportable. It demonstrates to other authoritarian regimes they can still achieve high levels of control by retrofitting their existing networks."
Oh, I can't wait to see this!
WOW LOL Im definitely gonna listen to more episodes of this podcast in the future and the past
