KOSA and other Bad Internet Bills (US-specific for now)

#BadIntrernetBills are moving forward again in Congress and multiple states, so it's time to take action. Groups like Fight for the Future, National Youth Rights Association, EFF, Woodhull Foundation, CDT, and the Internet Society have been sounding the alarm, but Congress is now looking at 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!

And if you use microblogging software like Mastodon, please also check out the #BadInternetBills hashtag.

By no means was I abdicating for inaction. People should absolutely be upset by this and speak out, and vote against those that oppress us.

Locking us out of everything is a bit of a stretch. Even if it comes to that point, its not like illegal content is hard to get (see: torrenting, usenet, MEGA, countless others).

For the average user, sure I guess a "fair" chatbot would be hard to come by (or rather too much work). Isn't it already, though, was kinda my point.
