“Global online safety regulators network” from the terribly flawed folks in Australia seems to be a really bad idea

All of this “online safety” legislation has been directly anti-sex, censorious and builds in an “age check” biometrics grift and dangerous surveillance https://twitter.com/justinhendrix/status/1592570622260834304

We actioned almost 20K webpages of coerced “self-generated” sexual abuse content of 7-10 year-old children in first half of 2022. The majority of it, girls. This Int Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women & Girls learn more about the work we do. http://iwf.org.uk

@SenSchumer and the people behind the #KOSA/#kidsOnlineSafetyAct have made it clear that they don't care about kids or #LGBTQ people; they don't care how much damage this is going to do to LGBT youth by censoring valuable LGBT information and sex education resources. @EFF @ACLU https://twitter.com/evan_greer/status/1593023551820693505

If you see CSEM on Twitter, do not save it, do not screenshot it, do not tweet it to Elon Musk.

Twtter's dedicated report form is here: https://help.twitter.com/en/forms/safety-and-sensitive-content/cse

Even if Musk fired that team (he seemingly has) use the form and call 1-800-843-5678 to inform the FBI of the report.

@freemo Hey, we've received some feedback of people from nnia.space saying that they can't follow us. As you have more experience with mastodon, would you have any ideas about what may be causing this?

"Nevertheless, the 'Stop the Sexualization of Children Act' could be used to further implicate adult content as a part of the broader moral panic related to 'grooming content' supposedly taught to minors all over the country." https://buff.ly/3AJf5y5

The most important thing I learned after Uvalde is that there are over 50,000 school police officers in this country, but they haven't stopped even one school shooting. Instead they've arrested over 1 million kids, mostly students of color. https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1592514003800297474

This is Marsha Blackburn, the lead Republican co-sponsor of the "Kids Online Safety Act" at a hate rally targeting transgender kids.

Groups like the Heritage foundation are openly saying they want to use this bill to ban LGBTQ+ content online

Why are Dems supporting this? #KOSA

Really frustrating to see an entire @washingtonpost write up on the Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA) that doesn’t include any of the concerns that have been repeatedly raised by LGBTQ+, free expression and privacy advocates. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/16/their-kids-deaths-were-tied-social-media-they-want-congress-act/
