Happy spooky month and reminder to people to call your democratic senators and republicans and house democratics and republicans to oppose kosa and make sure the bill doesn't pass

Stop KOSA

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

Livestreaming and social media are essential for activism.

From the Hong Kong protests to Black Lives Matter, social media has provided real-time coverage to challenge official narratives and inform public debate.

Protest crackdowns must not be mirrored in content takedowns.

Political content could also get digitally kettled under Ofcom's proposals:

🔴 Deprioritise posts flagged as potentially 'illegal' from algorithmic feeds until reviewed.

🔴 New police powers to restrict the sharing of content during a 'crisis' that could be misused on protests.

Proactive scanning will go further and faster at silencing dissent.

Under the UK's broad definition of terrorism, automated filters will have to scan for ‘damage to property' and remove such posts as 'illegal' content.

So this flawed system will impact environmental activism.

Activists will feel the brunt of censorship.

The ban on Palestine Action has been used to justify the arrests of people protesting the war in Gaza or the ban itself.

Similarly, posts relating to Palestine could be censored as 'terrorist' content under Ofcom's proposals.

Ofcom wants to scan and scrub ‘illegal’ content from social media.

It’ll be for platforms to decide how this will be automated, leaving us clueless about what will get removed.

As algorithms are dumb to context or nuance, legal speech will get swept up in the auto-purge.

Ofcom risks installing a production line of political censorship under the Online Safety Act.

One that will knock dissent off our feeds in real time under a vague and unpredictable system.

We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

Disturbing account of the abuse, torture, & sexual harassment of #GretaThunberg & others in the #GlobalSumudFlotilla after #Israel kidnapped them.
If they do this to white Europeans in the public eye, what do you think they do to #Palestinians?

It’s less than the bare minimum for Democrats to say that anyone everyone still employed in IRS enforcement when this starts should expect to go to prison if they take power.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 12h

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

26 U.S. Code § 7217 - Prohibition on executive branch influence over taxpayer audits and other investigations
U.S. Code
Notes

(c)Exceptions
Subsection (a) shall not apply to any written request made—
(1)to an applicable person by or on behalf of the taxpayer and forwarded by such applicable person to the Internal Revenue Service;
(2)by an applicable person for disclosure of return or return information under section 6103 if such request is made in accordance with the requirements of such section; or
(3)by the Secretary of the Treasury as a consequence of the implementation of a change in tax policy.
(d)Penalty
Any person who willfully violates subsection (a) or fails to report under subsection (b) shall be punished upon conviction by a fine in any amount not exceeding $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution.

(e)Applicable person
For purposes of this section, the term “applicable person” means—
(1)the President, the Vice President, any employee of the executive office of the President, and any employee of the executive office of the Vice President; and

genuinely one of the best things an average person can do right now for creators trying to actually divest from X as a business platform is

1. share people's content, not just here but elsewhere
2. most importantly, find some way to support them monetarily if possible. Patr/Substar/kofi etc

its not just "oh the owner is an asshole and moderation sucks", X is a fully fledged arm of the American govt both as propaganda and surveillance, and existing on that website is simply setting up shop CLOSER to the folks who wanna hunt down minorities and get them fired/doxxed/etc
