go to the site, use the tool. where ever you are. Keep voicing your stance on this issue.

This isn't about protecting kids nor will it protect kids from anything. Kids will just go to darker corners of the internet where nothing is moderated

forcing everyone to dox themselves won't make anything safer. All that data in hackable databases would be ripe for the picking by any hacker or groups of hackers to sell to databrokers, who then sell it to scammers

Parental controls are very easy to set up in the modern day every commonly used OS has them built in. If you're a parent, it's YOUR responsibility to make sure your kids don't see things they're not supposed to see...don't let the government control that shit

There's also https://www.defendvpns.com/ to go to as well, sign both petitions.

the EFF has some petitions too https://www.eff.org/

I've already signed them I've already emailed all my people. Now you need to do that. For anyone who still has twitter, tweet to them with these hashtags

I do each to the extent that I can, but it is a bit more difficult outside the country. And what actions we do each take isn’t always something we want to post about online. At any rate, petitions won’t do it.
