Let your Congress-critters know this is not the right thing to do.

we need a Sarcastic Lock that works like Caps Lock, in case se want to write a novel sarcastically, otherwise, too much wotk
It was built into Apollo (the Reddit app for IOS). You could type something highlight it and select “sPonGeTExt” from a menu to set random letters uppercase in a block of text.
😥😥
It could be a vim plugin.

I want them to pass an act called “Stop Protecting Kids on Social Media.” It can be part of the FUCKTHEMKIDS omnibus.
I want to sponsor an act called like MURDER DEFENSELESS CHILDREN AND BANISH THEIR SOULS TO HELL ACT, but it’s just a tax cut for rich people.
It wouldnt hurt the little kids to get off the internet.
That’s a job for the parents though isn’t it? And for early teenagers people seem to forget what positive influence the internet could have on their lives. Eg. many IT workers started fiddling around with stuff when they were quite young.
I’m just glad there was no internet as it is today when I was 13. The internet of the 90s? Good. The internet of the 2020s with algorithms fighting for your attention? Yuck.
Infinite scrolling social media must be horrible on a developing brain and teenage insecurities.
Its like a slot machine now.
The Internet’s the only reason I’m still alive
I’m employed in tech and a weirdo furry because of the internet. Jury’s still out on how that adds up.
Theyre not learning IT on tik tok. If they want to bypass the government’s countermeasures they still learn IT.
Maybe stop for a second and consider how this bill is meant to act in concert with library book bans and cuts to school curriculum. Conservatives are coordinating bills and policies to cut off access to important knowledge about marginalized communities.
The only way the far-right can build a young political base is if they can keep entire generations ignorant and uneducated, and unfortunately kids in red districts can’t rely on getting the education they need to be informed citizens from schools.
Yikes, please click on the link and do submit to your reps. Very easy to do. This kind of save the children labeling almost always gets voted in, so this is an uphill battle, but this is clearly a power grab, don’t let them take this, the implications are quite frightening. If policies like fosta / sesta can become reality, this can too. Things are degrading rapidly, fight it!
All the politicians that took multiple trips to Jeffery Epstein’s little playhouse want to protect the children!
Won’t someone please protect the heckin’ children?!
Is this one like KOSA meant to target transgender content and drag queens because that material (and specifically that material) is too spicy for America?
Both the measures suck and are meant to defang the internet since they don’t like the public talking to each other so much, but the the US Senator who sponsored KOSA admitted it was specifically meant to censor the existence of LGBT+ folk, specifically trans folk.
Absolutely nothing hypocritical about politicians who are willing to sacrifice literally everyone outside of the people in their family wanting to ahem SaVe ThE kIdS. /s
At what point do we say “Screw it”, let Congress pass all the bills to wreck the internet, and then build a better one?
At no point.
Congress is going to say “Screw it” and pass what they want anyway.
Unless you intend to move out of their jurisdiction, the law will probably remain the same for your New Internet too.
