I love how they see the unpopularity of these censorship bills and the chaos Digital IDs brings, and they still go "But think of the children 😭". It was never about the kids.

If you're a citizen in the EU, do not let this slide. Contact them, hold their feet to the fire and make noise. #SaveSpeech

Hey EU Citizens.

Between #savespeech and #fightchatcontrol, the current EU wants to STILL push to "protect the kids" in their own invasive way.

For as long as it lasts, they will keep pushing till they get what they want: control of you

Anyone able to help share this around? I'm kinda in the midst of a breakdown over the feeling of inevitability here in the EU regarding AV n' shit. Any kind of encouragement or help with spreading awareness is much appreciated.

Reminder to y'all that along with keeping chatcontrol down, we also need to start messaging the EU MEPs to stop pushing for AV laws and censorship.

They get presented a piece that's literally just a single color taking up the whole screen, nothing else visible.

This post has been a very good example of the “engagement bait“ problem and how it exists on here as well. Even people going out of their way to engage via “this is engagement bait”

Wasn’t my intention to engagement bait, just reveal what’s going on beyond Bluesky. But engagement bait is contagious

- Suggest other, more positive legislation, such as curbing paypro censorship: stop-paypros.neocities.org
- Protest physically if they continue to push these bad bills.

This is a Marathon. It may seem daunting or taxing, but together? We can #savespeech and stop the Puritain Regime in its tracks.

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

What can you do to #savespeech?

- Call your MEPs. Every time they introduce any UKOSA law or Digital ID/ID AV law, tell them "NO" loudly and often: www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home
- Continue #fightchatcontrol and follow them for updates: fightchatcontrol.eu

I think in general the GOP has completely misread what recissions have done. There's literally no reason for dems to cave if Russ Vought can just do whatever the fuck he feels like.

There's no benefit for them, no higher ground. The politics are murky enough it doesn't matter.

Regardless of it's chances to pass every needs to be as vocal as possible against all these pro censorship bills, specially when they have language designed to bar the online existence of minorities.

Make sure your representatives know you are against both it's attempt at censorship and its bigotry

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Creators should be allowed to say "yeah our game is meant to be jerked off to" or "yeah our game is meant to be an emotional experience"

Neither of those things should be shamed for being "goon slop" or "activist slop"

Not everything is meant for you and that's ok.

Modern media fucking sucks bcz companies are too scared to cater to a niche.

Fandoms are slopifying bcz nobody is willing to meaningfully gatekeep niche spaces anymore. Everybody has been conditioned into allowing regressive attitudes to sterilize subcultures.
