Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad
They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: We finally are moving to file a bipartisan Section 230 repeal bill. Waiting any longer serves no useful purpose.

The end of Section 230 would mean the end of all but the largest websites that allow user-generated content at all - and even the largest would be radically changed and locked down
It would probably mean the end of your fav streamers' careers

If this moved you in any way, please call your reps and demand they reject the KOSA and SCREEN Acts plus the other bills bundled into the Online Safety package! It's going to make it exponentially harder for sex workers and nsfw artists like myself to earn a living.

(more types/nsfw options here - hungryghostcomms.carrd.co)
Prices and types (mainly nsfw) will change starting January so this is the last chance to grab em for the old price 👌

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

I called the Energy and Commerce office again and told them how horrified I was that they're trying to shove the bills thru so quickly when they talked like they didn't even know what was in them. Said it felt like they were hiding something and was ill prepared. Reiterated my opposition of them.

Realizing that there is a broad perception that people secretly in their hearts want to make zany weird messy stuff, but make bland and boring stuff because they think it will sell

In general you should not let the fear of getting yelled at prevent you from writing something messy and powerful and true
But I'm mostly okay with letting the fear of getting yelled at prevent me from writing something meh because certain tropes are easy

Tell your lawmakers to oppose the Kids Online Safety Act- there are better ways to protect kids online without throwing other vulnerable people under the bus.
