If age verification for the entire internet goes through in the US according to new proposed bills in the House, we would lose soooo many activists and organizers who post their work and encourage others online. So many.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

“I would slip [the warrant] under the door, but there’s no space under the door,” the agent says.
The civilian pauses. “Well. Sounds like a personal problem.”

It seems like every single member of congress is adamant on introducing legislation to kill the modern open internet. There's so many horrific internet censorship bills. It's not just KOSA.

Great to hear Boston City Councilors explicitly condemning dangerous censorship legislation like #KOSA and the SCREEN ACT.
The Massachusetts Congressional delegation, especially @warren.senate.gov who cosponsored KOSA, and @markey.senate.gov who voted to advance it, need to start listening.
