KOSA and other Bad Internet Bills (US-specific for now)
Red alert! For the last six months, EFF, Fight for the Future, ACLU, Woodhull Foundation, and dozens of other groups have been sounding the alarm about several #BadInternetBills that have been put forward in Congress. We’ve made it clear that these bills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation. We're organizing to keep them from sneaking these bad internet bills through.
This community is for news stories, opinion pieces, and action links about these bad internet bills. Please help get the word out!

Anyone paying attention when the DNC hamstrung Bernie in favor of Hildawg back in 2016 has been aware of the very small number of wealthy elites pulling strings on the supposed left, and that goes a longer way back for the right.
The sharp turn toward fascism began with Trump as far as I can tell, but the Bush and Reagan era of Republican rule - in particular the Cheney/Rumsfeld influence - really set the table for this.
That fact that the Cheneys were Team Joy last time around tells you all you need to know about the state of politics in the United States right now.
