AO3 IS IN TROUBLE IF CALIFORNIAN AGE VERIFICATION LAW PASSES
An upcoming Age verification bill centered in California will be voted on Monday-- And as always,instead of actually protecting kids, it will lead to more online censorship and privacy risks, as it will force websites hosting to verify their users age by sending their ID, your browser history would be linked to it. if you live California, call your reps and tell them to oppose the bill AB3080 as it highly unconstitutional.
They also deem LGBT content harmful to minors, as well as mentions of weapons and tobacco, putting them on the same level as NSFW content.
Since AO3 headquarters reside in California, much like Reddit, Twitter,Discord and Youtube (and others) who knows how bad the effects would be. Instead of just effecting Californians (even then its concerning.) the effects would be US or even worldwide. VPNs wont help.

They deem LGBT content harmful to minors, as well as weapons and tobacco, putting them on the same level as nsfw content.
Since a lot of tech companies resides in California (Youtube,Reddit,Discord,twitter) who know how they will implement this if it passes.

Remind your reps that companies pull out a of a state when they are required to do age verification. California cannot afford to lose that kind of money. Also specifically speak to Reps who are potentially losing votes or are more easily persuaded by telling them how popular this could be for their careers.

Hey..What about the other bill (AB3080 or Bill S-210)? Do we also need to continue to fight like Kosa Bill?
Yes.. We, just like the Kosa bill, must also fight so that they do not pass and become law.
We must say that we are really against this!
So…If we want to free and save the Internet, we need to keep fighting!
CALL/EMAIL/FAX YOUR REPS AND SENATORS.... Keep saying you are against it!
Say no on Kosma,COPPA 2.0,Keep Kids Off of Social Media Act,AB3080,HB 2586,Bill S-210 and other bad bills

If you live in California then contact your legislator via the link down below
If you don’t live in California but know someone who does, then share the link down below with them and tell them to contact their legislator
If both of the two options above don’t apply to you then just reblog this.
California legislators must be told that their voters oppose age verification mandates.
But you better hurry as the vote is tomorrow at 2pm PST (Pacific Standard Time)
Also you can use the link below to find your representative:

KOSA/AB3080
I’ve always hated talking about politics/ government shit because in most cases it always pisses me off but in this case it needs to be talked about and spread around.
2 children online censorship bills will be discussed about, KOSA (Kids online safety act) and AB3080 (a censorship bill for the state of California) and both these will effect mostly all platforms (Instagram, TikTok, etc) and while the bills are about “protecting children online” it does just the opposite of that. These bills are NOT to protect children online, only to censor everything that the government doesn’t want minors to look at, that goes for LGBTQ+, information on Palestine/Gaza, Mental Health issues/ EDs and etc. BUT, despite panic that’s been set there is a way to fight back to make sure neither of these horrible bills past. Which is to
!!!CALL / EMAIL YOUR SENATORS AND LEGISLATORS!!!!!
people who are scared of these bills and say they want to fight for them but end up doing NOTHING will be the reason we loose our first amendment rights, if we really want these bills to not pass then we have to call and email, that’s all it takes to make a huge difference, one small call or voicemail (flood their voicemails hehe) and one email is all that it takes. DO NOT LET THESE PASS!!! KOSA has been attached to a FAA bill which is being talked about sometime this week, do not let this shit pass.
KOSA INFORMATION
AB3080 INFORMATION / FIND YOUR LEGISLATORS TO CALL AND EMAIL:
https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/
I know you are scared but it will be okay if we fight back for our rights. We can stop this 🩷

Wanted to make a small apology
I made a mistake a few days comparing bill AB3080 to KOSA when it actually isn’t like that (although it have been once upon a time, but it definitely was not when I made my post that I have since deleted). So I want to say I am sorry to my followers and others for spreading some misinformation and freaking any one out, even if my now deleted post barely had any notes.
All of this KOSA got me so nervous, so that’s why I jumped the gun with AB3080 as it was gonna have a voting yesterday (May 6th), only to get move on Thursday (May 9th). Again, I apologize if I freaked anyone out.
Now KOSA is the real problem and a voting is happening tomorrow (May 8th) at 10 am, I am give all links to vote against now.
Please vote and let anyone in your life know about this. Thank you very and a good peaceful night.

California Bill AB3080
Please stop fear mongering about this bill. It would not impact Ao3. It does not list queer resources or material as one of the things that needs to be age verified. It does not tie your identity to you browsing history.
It only required companies selling stuff online that is illegal to sell to minors or companies making money off of sexually explicit material (defined within the bill without anything unusual) and where more that 1/3 or their material is sexually explicit to verify the users age. In cases of buying and selling, it only requires it if you buy something that is illegal to sell to minors. In cases of porn is would apply to the website as a whole. Additionally, new clauses have been added, preventing the companies from retaining your identifying information past it’s need.
You can read the full text here: https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB3080/2023. Updates continue to be made, make sure to click the most recent version link at the top if present.

About KOSA
This is another huge censorship bill proposed by Blumenthal and Blackburn.
They are trying to shoehorn it into an upcoming fast pass bill, one that has absolutely nothing to do with internet issues at all.
We need to keep calling reps and senators and making sure that they vote no on this bill and make sure it doesn't go into the gas pass package.
Our deadline is the tenth of May.
California's AB3080 age verification bill is also a huge massive problem as most tech and social media HQ's are in California (like Discord, Twitter and etc) This would mean they couldn't geo block people from the state and would be forced to either move or comply. Our deadline for this is MONDAY.
If you live in California be sure to contact your reps. There are more resources in this link here:
If you need help finding your reps you can use this resource here:
https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/
There is also a discord server containing tons of resources and information about how to further help protect online privacy.
Keep spreading the word and let's continue to help keep each other safe.

I don't know if I have any Californian followers, but the California assembly is voting on a bill called AB3080 on monday. This bill is another age verification bill, similar to KOSA, and poses a slightly lesser but still concerning threat to privacy online. If major tech companies headquartered in California were forced to do age verification, it would affect many more people than just Californians
if you're Californian, please use the link below to send a message to state assembly members, and the one below that to find who your assembly member is to contact them directly. If you choose to contact them directly, please write an original message instead if copying one.

Skip, I should have your Californian followers be aware of the pro censorship/authoritarianism internet bill called AB3080. They are gonna have a hearing about it on this Monday, and if it gets passed A03 will be in trouble and people can’t watch YouTube videos without the government asking for your ID first. It’s another “think of the children” internet bill like KOSA, except only Californians can vote no this time.
Something to help: findyourrep.legislature. ca.gov
Giving website my id just view something is crazy.
And little do they know folks still get fake IDs. And if this is passed something tells me they’ll have a bot that doesn’t work properly to know difference from real or fake id
Vote if you can folks

Any news about Kosa bill?
As far as I know, Kosa Bill on hold for the time being.
However, we must not relax… There are still other bills that need to be stopped (including Protecting Kids On Social Media Act (Kosma (aka Kosa bill 2.0))
What they do, they only make it worse.They just want to deprive the Internet and they have no right to do that.
So…If we want to free and save the Internet, we need to keep fighting!
CALL/EMAIL/FAX YOUR REPS AND SENATORS.... Keep saying you are against it!
Say no on Kosma,COPPA 0.2,AB3080,HB 2586,S-210 and other bad bills

A little update regarding AB3080, turns out it’s actually an amendment to an already existing law. The law in question is called The Parent’s Accountability and Child Protection Act
This law requires a person or business that conducts business in California and that seeks to sell specified products or services to take reasonable steps to ensure that the purchaser is of legal age at the time of purchase or delivery, including verifying the age of the purchaser. The act provides that reasonable steps include, but are not limited to, any of specified options, including requiring the user to input, scan, provide, or display a government-issued identification, as specified.
AB3080 would expand the above-described provisions to require a person or business that conducts business in California and seeks to make available products that are illegal to make available to minors, as specified, to take reasonable steps to ensure that the purchaser is of legal age at the time of purchase or delivery. The bill would provide that reasonable steps include, but are not limited to, any of the following: (1) requiring the user to input, scan, provide, or display a government-issued identification, as specified, (2) requiring the user to use a nonprepaid credit card or debit card for online access, or (3) implementing a system that enables only individuals with accounts designated as adult accounts to access the internet website.
Quoting some text in the link btw
