a few nights ago lotus and poison, iconic performers and trans women, were viciously attacked at legends gay nightclub. nobody intervened in a supposed community space. please help cover their medical expenses and show them they are not alone. they were absolutely let down, and what kind of community doesn't help its most vulnerable? consider showing them support both emotionally and financially after this dual trauma of abuse and neglect.

HOW TO EDUCATE YOURSELF AGAINST AI AGE VERIFICATION (KOSA / OSA)

In my previous Boycott Survival Kit posts, I said one of the best ways you can combat AI age verification, is to educate yourself and the people around you. For some, you already started researching or know about this, and that is awesome, but this post is for people who probably don't know where to start. So, I put together some stuff to help you get started.

DISCLAIMER!!!

Most of these PDFs and articles I got from using Duck Duck Go and after only seven days of research. If anyone else has any new information or I got something wrong, please share it!

Also, most of what I found out about Carnegie comes from Ali McForever's article, "How Carnegie's Blood Money Bought British Law: The Online Safety Act Exposed". You can read her investigation in full here:

How Carnegie's Blood Money Bought British Law: The Online Safety Act Exposed: https://alimcforever.substack.com/p/how-carnegies-blood-money-bought

And most of what I found out about Yoti and Illuminate Tech comes from Cyber Waffle's videos, "Who is Behind the Online Safety Act?" and "The Truth About The Online Safety Act! (We were all wrong apparently)"

DISCLAIMER OVER!!!

Now, on to my list!!

1. Get familiar with not only the Bill of Rights, but all 27 Amendments, Civil Rights, Constitution Protections, Criminal Justice Rights, and your Human Rights. Research exactly how KOSA, the Screen Act, COPPA 2.0 and other acts like it infringe on your unalienable rights.

Here is a post with links to them

2. Research the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and who profits from it.

My Sources

3. Research which platforms are using or planning to use AI in the future and also research their parent companies and/or share holders. YouTube, Twitter / X, Spotify, Reddit, and Discord are testing / launching AI age verification technology. Other sites like Dailymotion, TikTok, Threads, Instagram, etc. have announced plans to follow suit.

YouTube is owned by Google / Alphabet Inc.

Twitter / X is owned by xAI (and Elon Musk)

Spotify's biggest shareholders and the ones who hold the most voting power is Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon

Reddit is owned by Advance Publications Inc. Their primary shareholders are the Newhouse family who are New York billionaires

Discord is owned by Discord Inc. and that company is a private one with its money relying on investors, but it has been acquired by Microsoft.

4. Share your (fact-checked) findings with the general public. I said this in my previous posts, but it is very crucial. Keeping this only on Tumblr and Reddit will not garner public support quick enough. The general population needs to be aware of what's happening, and most importantly, why they should side against it. We are literally saying "no" to a policy called the Kids Online Safety Act! That will make people turn their heads in confusion and concern. We need to tell them why it's not about helping to protect children, but to monitor internet users to the detriment of our online safety.

Research and share the many times social media, companies, and organizations have been given concrete evidence of predators and dangerous content in their communities and them refusing to do anything about it. Show the many tools these companies have in place and what these tools are supposed to do. Show that these platforms, companies, and organizations already have the power to protect children AND adults, men AND women AND non-binary, straight AND Lgbtq+, but they simply choose not to. We aren't denying that safety on the internet is an issue that needs addressing, but we need to emphasize how an AI that tracks what we look at online to estimates our ages and demands our private info if it suspects we're underage due to the stuff we look at won't stop dangerous content and dangerous people from hurting children (or adults)!

Social Media, Companies, and Organizations Have the Tools to Protect People... They Just Choose Not To

Research and share how these AI systems are inaccurate and not perfect. A lot of anti-AI focus is on how wonky AI art is or on how ChatGPT gives you funny responses, creepy responses, or just flat out gives you false information. But I strongly encourage you to research the development of AI age verification systems and/or find verified posts of users being falsely flagged. Here's a funny one to help you get started:

'I create fake IDs of your MP so you can get round Online Safety Act' (2025): https://metro.co.uk/2025/08/04/i-create-fake-ids-mp-can-get-round-online-safety-act-23822600/ PLEASE DON'T USE THIS SITE OR ANY SITE TO MAKE A FAKE ID. THAT'S FRAUD AND YOU CAN GO TO JAIL!!! Still funny tho.

Research and share the numerous times YouTube, Twitter / X, Discord, Reddit, Spotify (and other platforms like Tea) have suffered data breaches or reports of account takeovers. Show that even if by some miracle these AI age verification systems are state of the art and 100% accurate, hackers can still get a hold of your information.

Data Breaches and Data Tracking

Who should I tell?

Thank you for making it to the end! This will be my last post for while. But, thank you for all the likes and reblogs!

🔴 BREAKING: According to The Telegraph (Aug 21, 2025), famine has officially been declared in Gaza for the first time by the UN-backed IPC.

While Israel prepares to destroy what remains of Gaza City, families here are being torn apart by hunger, destruction, and despair.

My own family is among those suffering, with nothing left to survive on.

Please, donate to help keep us alive. 🇵🇸🕊️

i'm not a fan of drinks culture because a lot of drinks lovers look down on water... like oh, you only have water? and i think that's a crime. water is so good... i love water. but also, a little tasty drinky? delicious, you know?

but i see it as a sort of fun break from water, when really... water is that girl. she's my wife that i'm in an open marriage with, to where sometimes i need a little silly fling with a different beverage, but we all know that the true heart and soul of the human experience is in water, my wife.

The boycott is working, y'all. YouTube is panicking, trying to get people to buy Premium. They're advertising themselves on other platorms, when YT used to be the place to advertise. They're trying to bribe people with discount codes.

IT IS WORKING

Keep fighting the good fight

If you don't know about the YT boycott, I summarized it here
