Do they really want to pass the bill? Will the Internet disappear forever today?!
Yes, they want to pass this damn Kosa bill, however we are STILL fighting with this..We don't want them to pass the bill..We are all against the bill.They did not pass the bill because we still continue to loudly say that we are against Kosa.We must not give up…We must continue to fight.
We are doing everything possible that they did not pass the bill and if we continue in the same spirit,we won it.. If we do nothing, we will lose the Internet forever
SAY YOU ARE AGAINST THE KOSA BILL...Tell Congress you are against the Kosa bill.
CALL/EMAIL/FAX YOUR REPS AND SENATORS.... Keep saying you are against the Kosa Bill..
Keep Fighting!!! Don't give up..We have to stop this!!
Tumblr media
Edit :
As for the second question, I already answered last time, but I will answer again
If they pass the bill, the Internet will not disappear immediately after the Kosa bill is passed.However, I don't want them to pass the bill
For it to become official law, they need to be voted on by a Committee, then go to the House, then to the Senator, then go to review and only then go to the President to sign..

I look down at this article and then look up and see the pieces of it crawling together, trying to form back into this nightmare.

On March 13th, Congress will vote on the Kids Online Safety Act, known as KOSA, which is an internet censorship bill that'll give state attorneys power over the internet to censor anything that puts information about and resources for Palestine, Congo, Sudan, the LGBTQIA+ community, and racial groups at risk of censorship.
While the bill has enough support to pass the Senate, the House of Representatives is more divided, and KOSA is less likely to gain enough support to pass through. Tell Democrats that passing KOSA will cost them votes and the election since they'll be partially at fault for giving Republican state attorney generals the power to block access to information and resources to infringe more on abortion rights and the rights of the LGBTQIA+ and POC communities. 
As for Republicans, speak about how Democrats will weaponize this bill to "suppress" freedom of speech and the truth to aid their "woke agenda" to succeed in "destroying" America.
We need to use the division between Democrats and Republicans to destroy this bill. Please use these websites to email them:

damn homophobes using children to justify silencing the lgbtq+. i agree that kids need to be more protected on the internet, but cutting them off from information about who they might be is just gonna spike suicide rates, and i don’t think the government wants the future killing itself :/
just let boys kiss boys and girls kiss girls. and don’t even start on “well they’re destroying their bodies to be a different gender!” cause CIRCUMCISION exists. why don’t you guys get all frenzied when an afab woman gets breast enlargements?? do rotatioplasties make your tummy hurt? what about LIFE SAVING ORGAN REPLACEMENT SURGERIES?!? WHY ARE YOU SO UPSET ABOUT SOMEONE WHO GOT DEALT A SAUSAGE CHANGING THAT WHEN YOURE SO SUPPORTIVE OF OTHER BODILY CHANGES??
“but it’s not life saving” FUCK YES IT IS!!! DYSPHORIA KILLS. PEOPLE COMMIT SUICIDE BECAUSE OF IT. AND YOU THINKING THAT THE “ALPHABET MAFIA” IS TRYING TO TAKE OVER AMERICA OR SOMETHING IS LIKE SAYING DEER WANT TO EAT ALL THE PLANTS IN THE WORLD SO THERES NO MORE PLANTS ANYWHERE WHEN THEYRE REALLY JUST TRYING TO LIVE THEIR LIVES.
i’m fucking livid. that don’t happen often. fuck kosa.

What is the current status of KOSA? As of last night, 2024-04-20, this is what congress.gov had to say about it:
Tumblr media
I'm seeing lots of posts fearmongering about how it's passed the Senate and is now in the House.
I've seen coordinated attacks against the democratic process over the past 8+ years. It would not surprise me in the least to learn that this might be part of a coordinated attack to get us to let up pressure on our Senators, letting them think that we're suddenly okay with it.
Please remember that Tumblr can just as easily be used to spread misinformation as Twitter or Facebook or Instagram or TikTok. Check authoritative sources.
What I would do? Call your senators, your representative, and the White House switchboard to leave comments on pending legislation.
The government website says it's still in the Senate. Call your senators to oppose it as a current issue.
Call your representative to oppose it as a heads-up to ensure they are aware of it and your opposition.
Call the White House to ensure that President Biden knows not to sign it if it crosses his desk.
Former President Trump already destroyed 50 years of women's rights, and presided over the initial hysteria of the anti-trans groups. He appointed enough justices to the Supreme Court that we're guaranteed social regression until at least two conservative justices retire and are replaced with new Ruth Bader Ginsbergs. He and the GOP (he is basically synonymous with the GOP, after Laura was elected as co-chair) have done a huge amount of damage to our ways of life and our ability to address climate change and global warming. We need to say that enough is enough, and that they won't deprive us of our abilities to discuss the topics they find uncomfortable and want to prevent any kids from hearing about in any online spaces their kids could possibly stumble into.
OUR LIVES AND EXISTENCE AND CULTURE ARE NOT POLITICAL PAWNS TO BE BARTERED AWAY IN BACKROOM DEALS.
We must stand united, or divided we shall surely perish.

Hey..Have you seen or heard the news that Kansas wants to pass a bill on July 1st?
Yes, I saw the news that they want to pass a bill in Kansas..Anti LGBT and Internet Censorship bill - sucks…However, we all continue to fight so that they do not pass the bill..If we want to save the Internet, we must continue to call, email and fax and loudly say that we are against it.. The more noise, the more likely they will not pass the bill
I’ll just say one thing: no need to panic or give up.
Tell Congress you are against the Kosa bill.
CALL/EMAIL/FAX YOUR REPS AND SENATORS.... Keep saying you are against the Kosa Bill..
Keep Fighting!!! Don't give up..We have to stop this!
There are rumors that the House is against Kosa bill, but there is no proof yet

🚨🚨🚨 [JULY 27] DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY - 24 HOURS REMAIN 🚨🚨🚨
KOSA will grant the government unprecedented control over the Internet and censor it in the name of "protecting the children" unless every single one of us stops them. Not only would it increase online surveillance of all users through age verification and parental monitoring tools, but it would also allow attorney generals to wipe out content that they deem "harmful" to minors, including race, gender, and sexuality...either for any reason or no reason at all. Even worse, President Biden himself has urged Senate to pass this horrible bill, along with COPPA 2.0!
I've done everything I can up to this point...signed the petitions multiple times, signal boosted, even made a few calls despite not being from America...and I'm exhausted. Things are looking very gloomy, and the only thing I can do now is pray for a miracle. If they're that butthurt over data collection and banning sites, there's no doubt that they might also destroy mine and anyone else's Tumblr, Twitter, DeviantART, AO3, etc.
For any Americans who haven't done so, and do not want their livelihoods destroyed by KOSA, PLEASE sign the petitions and call your Senators while you still can! And if you're not American (like me, who's Canadian), PLEASE sign the petitions and spread the word while you still can!

I hope people in the OSC (and other fandoms in general) who are ok with or neutral about Kosa realize that not only will we lose a bunch of platforms that allow us to interact with each other (Tumblr, discord, Ao3, Wattpad, Twitter, YouTube, etc) but will also get rid of at least 80-95% of our fandom.
The OSC consists mostly of people between 13-17 who (if Kosa goes through the Senate and Houses of Representatives and gets passed as a law) will most likely no longer have access to YouTube and other social platforms which actively kills almost all the people who read and watch Object Shows!
By visiting and sharing animated shows like II or BFDI those creators make money which gives them the means to keep making their shows and paying their animators, voice actors, writers and so much more. This bill will actively get rid of most of the people who watch these shows which will cause a large loss in support and revenue for these creators and will most likely mean the end for any smaller object show.
Object show comics rely on people sharing them around in fandom spaces since they’re not animated and put on YouTube like animated object shows are. By losing these spaces and the people who support their content these creators will no longer be able to reach a large audience and get the support they need to continue their comics. This means that we will lose a lot of the comics that the OSC has!
Most of the content you see in the OSC is made by minors, which this bill will actively destroy and thus kill this fandom and many others!
So I am begging of you OSC and other communities, Please please please sign petitions, tell your senators and representatives that you don’t want this bill to pass, and tell anyone that you can reach about how this Bill is a violation of privacy and minors' rights! Re-blog anything you see with helpful information about what Kosa is and keep talking about it! We need to tell people about it so that this doesn’t go through the Senate. Remember, the final day is February 26, we don’t have that long!!!
Here’s some helpful resources:

Also I'm so serious when I say...
You better download as many fics as you can before KOSA passes
You better find groups and organizations to join outside of the internet right now
KOSA will destroy communication on all levels
It will censor and monitor and surveille and it's not a coincidence they're pushing it through now
You probably also should find a way to communicate with your mutuals outside of sm platforms, especially those which are US based

This post is related to the kosa bill but it’s how it’ll effect me (this is just my understanding of it so don’t take this too seriously)
If this bill gets passed I might be fine cause my parents do trust me and even my mom has a tumblr after I mentioned it a few times, she has seen my posts and my account, and didn’t say anything about it, she doesn’t know I have online friends but she knows one of my siblings has a online friend, and frankly she also trusts that I won’t reveal personal information, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be fine
But if this bill gets passed, I might lose my friends on here which in all honesty is really the only thing keeping me from actually attempting sui again, and I’m extremely socially awkward and even just messaging people on here takes a lot of courage for me to build up
I can’t help support the fight against this bill by contacting the rep (or whatever their called cause I can’t remember and I’m honestly too tired to) but I can at least try and spread the word
STOP KOSA PLEASE, THIS WILL NOT HELP THE PRE-TEENS AND TEENS OF THIS GENERATION, IT’LL HARM MORE TEENS THAN WHAT ANYONE CAN IMAGINE. A LOT OF AMERICAN TEENS FIND ONLINE PLACES AS AN ESCAPE, I AM ONE OF THEM AND IF TEENS WHO ALREADY DON’T HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR PARENTS KOSA WILL DESTROY THE ALREADY FAILING RELATIONSHIP AND WILL MOST LIKELY MAKE A LOT OF PARENTS IGNORE THEIR TEEN CHILDREN OR EVEN DISOWN THEIR CHILD CAUSE THE PARENT MAY THINK OF THE CHILD AS A FAILURE OR A DISAPPOINTMENT AND THE AMOUNT OF TEEN DEPRESSION CASES WILL MOST LIKELY SKY ROCKET.

KOSA: we need to protect children!
A very poorly ran and managed foster care system, cps biase, corrupt courts, putting children with drug addicts, letting children get beaten to death in a public bathrooms and covering it up as a suicide, putting children in camps that force them to love their abusers, allowing child abuse to be seen as good parenting, labeling children protesting as truancy and rebellion, underfunded education system, hurr durr muh America tik tok BAD!!!!!!!! TIK TAK TOE🗣🔥, destroying the planet irreversibly for future generations

a brief post regarding KOSA.
KOSA (also known as Kids Online Safety Act) alongside others like it (such as the Online Safety Act in the UK, RESTRICT-IT, COPPA 2.0, etc.) Are planning to censor the internet. In particular, KOSA and Online Safety Act are very close to being passed through and made law.
Now, what do I mean when I say "censor the internet"? Well...
Under the guise of "Protecting children", these bigots trying to push the bill through congress want to censor LGBTQ+/queer content (including advice for trans and gay teenagers), abortion, gun violence, gore and violence, sexual/18+ content, suicide and depression help, and many more.
This bill also plans to effectively destroy free speech online, with the removal of end-to-end encryption. Furthermore, it also wants an ID for online posting and will reveal what kids are doing to their parents regardless. This would be extremely harmful especially for queer minors in the closet, or minors with abusive parents.
but what can YOU do to stop these bills?
You can Phone your senators, sign petitions, send emails, or spread the word through social media. We CANNOT let laws like KOSA and Online Safety Act censor queer people and destroy our queer cultures online. 2 senators have already disagreed with KOSA, one of them because of the phonecalls and feedback from people like US, which is proof that it's still worth fighting. the fight is far from over, but even the smallest of actions is one step closer to shutting this bill down. Both KOSA and Online Safety are in recess until September, so make this month count.
finally, here are some links to helpful sites/petitions and more information:
