Any updates on the ban?

Unfortunately, President Biden has signed the bill into a law. The law will effectively ban TikTok unless ByteDance sells to an American company.

I am still doing research on what exactly the bill will do, but this is what is being said right now. I do not know when the bill will be put into effect.

hi again, im gonna link the KOSA masterpost and try and get the kosa tag to go on trending, we need more people to talk about how dangerous KOSA is and can affect all of us. If we can get the tiktok ban tag to trend, so we can with the stop kosa tag.

EDIT: IT HAS NOT BEEN PASSED YET. READ THIS TWEET.

if this bill passes (which I'm guaranteed it won't since it violates the first amendment and it has been shut down before.) it can affect queer people, palestinians, and more. you would need your ID to use socials, your parents can see what your doing online, you will NOT have any privacy if this bill ends up passing. (Which again it won't, we need to keep speaking up about it.)

also if you have an issue with me talking about this so much then just block me and move on, this is serious and should be more well known.

SPEAK UP ABOUT KOSA AND STOP INTERNET CENSORSHIP.

small edit: if this post has any misinfo then please let me know, a lot of misinformation has been going around and I don't want to spread something that is false !!

Hey, maybe you don’t use tiktok anymore. Maybe its gone to shit. Maybe you think banning it isn’t a big deal.

Don’t let tiktok get banned. Because its not about tiktok or kids online or any of that. Its about how many rights can be taken away from us, how far these officials and congressman can go, how much power they can accrue without us fighting back.

Do you know why KOSA is back for a fucking third time in a much tamer form? Because they are trying their hardest to pass it. It doesn’t keep anyone safe, and even if the newest version had anything good in it, It still shouldn’t be pushed through because of its horrible history.

We all know that if we give them an inch, they’ll take a mile. I know its exhausting, but they WANT to exhaust us. So don’t let them. Fight.

Please remember to call your representatives about KOSA. This is still a massive issue and apparently it has enough support to pass in the Senate, which is terrifying. We must stop this from becoming law.

What is the current status of KOSA? As of last night, 2024-04-20, this is what congress.gov had to say about it:

I'm seeing lots of posts fearmongering about how it's passed the Senate and is now in the House.

I've seen coordinated attacks against the democratic process over the past 8+ years. It would not surprise me in the least to learn that this might be part of a coordinated attack to get us to let up pressure on our Senators, letting them think that we're suddenly okay with it.

Please remember that Tumblr can just as easily be used to spread misinformation as Twitter or Facebook or Instagram or TikTok. Check authoritative sources.

What I would do? Call your senators, your representative, and the White House switchboard to leave comments on pending legislation.

The government website says it's still in the Senate. Call your senators to oppose it as a current issue.

Call your representative to oppose it as a heads-up to ensure they are aware of it and your opposition.

Call the White House to ensure that President Biden knows not to sign it if it crosses his desk.

Former President Trump already destroyed 50 years of women's rights, and presided over the initial hysteria of the anti-trans groups. He appointed enough justices to the Supreme Court that we're guaranteed social regression until at least two conservative justices retire and are replaced with new Ruth Bader Ginsbergs. He and the GOP (he is basically synonymous with the GOP, after Laura was elected as co-chair) have done a huge amount of damage to our ways of life and our ability to address climate change and global warming. We need to say that enough is enough, and that they won't deprive us of our abilities to discuss the topics they find uncomfortable and want to prevent any kids from hearing about in any online spaces their kids could possibly stumble into.

OUR LIVES AND EXISTENCE AND CULTURE ARE NOT POLITICAL PAWNS TO BE BARTERED AWAY IN BACKROOM DEALS.

We must stand united, or divided we shall surely perish.

Okay so this morning I saw on the news "the government taking steps to protect children online" and I PANICKED cause I thought it was KOSA, but it wasn't KOSA! It was this thing called Know2Protect. I don't know all the details, but from what I heard on the news (CBS), Know2Protect is basically a program that's meant to TEACH children and adults how to protect themselves online (as opposed to KOSA, which wants to censor the internet). I'm not entirely certain about this thing, but! Know2Protect SOUNDS like it might be the answer to our problem! It's what we wanted, right? For the government to teach people how to protect themselves from online predators instead of censoring the internet? Edit: THIS HAS ALMOST 200 NOTES???

We must succeed so that the Senate or House cannot pass the bill.If we give up, panic or do nothing, they will pass this bill.We have to do everything in our power..

Stop the bill, sign as many petitions as possible, protest and help organize protests, mail and email representatives, bombard your reps and your government with demands to stop KOSA.

We won't let this pass, we won't.

Do everything you can, spread this message, to other platforms other than [tumblr].

To people with voices, to everyone, to stop it.

It will not pass with our collective effort.

Don't vote red, don't let any censorship pass. Stop KOSA

This isn’t the first time some5ung like this has happened

Do any of you remember Article 13 from back in 2018 or 2016? Yeah the KOSA bill is eerily similar to that, and vice versa

The US lawmakers are starting to try and crack down on the internet in general, I think it’s because their afraid, afraid of the power we hold, and thus act to try and silence us, to my knowledge, Article 13 was the first of these kind of bills to try and limit the internet, the KOSA bill is almost the same thing simplified and stretched to an extrene

Fuck KOSA. we have to stop it, kill KOSA alike we killed Article 13

any news on KOSA?

UPDATE KOSA 4/10/24

KOSA has unfortunately been introduced to the house of representatives. However, we have not heard if it has passed senate yet.

Please keep fighting. If KOSA becomes law, I will not be able to run this account anymore.

Just realized congress will be out of recess tomorrow. That means the potential of KOSA passing in the senate, which is an unfortunately very likely possibility.

Ive been seeing a lot of anti-KOSA posts along the lines of, "If KOSA passes on the 26th, it will be a law and we will all be doomed" and that is just not true.

KOSA is only in the senate right now. It would need to be introduced to and pass the house and get signed by the president to become a law.

If you see news of KOSA passing the senate tomorrow, please do not panic and think it's all over. Simply shift from contacting your representatives in the senate to contacting your representatives in the house .

KOSA is gross, but AO3 will likely go unharmed

I've seen a LOT of people talking about how if KOSA passes, it would forced AO3 to either scramble to find somewhere to operate outside of the United States, or would force them to take down most of (if not all) of the content uploaded to the site.

KOSA primarily focuses on commercial platforms, like Twitter and Tumblr. The OTW, a nonprofit organization, is mostly out of the bills jurisdiction, though we don't know which exact laws proposed in the bill could end up affecting OTW and other nonprofits.

In fact, AO3 News published this all the way back in September of last year:

The tl;dr is that the OTW and AO3 are not currently implicated by KOSA and many of the other bills because of our nonprofit status (most of the proposed laws only apply to for-profit institutions). This means the operations of the OTW and the AO3 wouldn’t be directly impacted by these bills.

I am fully against KOSA passing, as with everyone else on this website with at least some sense of intelligence, but some of the things I've seen people posting are ill informed. We need to keep fighting this disgusting censorship garbage, but we can at least breathe a slight sigh of relief knowing that at least one beloved website is unlikely to get caught in the fire.

i just wanted to say somethings about KOSA

my girlfriend doesnt have a phone, i either use tumblr with dms or emails (which isnt that often)

i already have a very limited internet access, even just being able to touch tumblr is better than before i found tumblr.

my parents are very strict with my electronics, due to past mistakes. and if they get to see what i am doing, it would make this way worse. i already have major trust issues with them, and the fact they would be able to see everything. i get scared just by me drawing some characters. scared theyre going to do... something.

if kosa gets passed then i might fall out of my fandoms. some of my fandoms im in is the community that i love. sure i like the source material, but the community makes it way better.

this is dangerous

even if we are children, we are smarter than you think. we know how to do things. we know right from wrong. we will make mistakes, but we have to learn. fuck, thats one of the major themes of one of my main stories!

stop kosa.

i dunno, i dont make these types of posts, but the world is fucked up, and the internet is how i find my happiness.
