KEEP TRUMP OUT OF OFFICE

PROTECT QUEER YOUTH. STOP CENSORSHIP.
Citizens of the USA. Yes, all of you. Right now, I want you to look at the device you're viewing this post on and consider what the Internet has possibly done for you: have you made online friends? Have you been taught about racism? Have you learned about the queer community? Most importantly, do you have privacy?
For many, though the Internet can be dangerous and lead to stolen data and child exploitation, it is also a beautiful place to learn about other communities and build one of your own. The Internet is an incredible library full of information that many people cannot get anywhere else. Especially when it comes to LGBTQ+ resources.
Now imagine having all of that ripped away.
Your messages monitored, recorded, surveyed. Your online experience censored. Your friends or your own marginalized voices further suppressed. Your ID? In the hands of every social media site you sign up to.
Privacy? Gone. Queer safety? Fucking gone.
All of that? That's what KOSA and its affiliated bills such as EARN IT, STOP CSAM, and the Cooper Davis Act (which encroach upon data encryption and allow further surveillance), the ban on Tiktok (which is self-explanatory), and 'Footloose' bills (which may include online curfews for people under 18 and give parents complete control and surveillance over what their underaged children do, say, and see) aim to achieve.
Queer teenagers will be put at risk. LGBTQ+ resources stripped away. Any secret accounts or online friends monitored by potentially abusive parents. Teens' right to free speech destroyed.
So contact your local lawmakers. Contact your senators. Contact your USA friends and family and urge them to do the same. Fight these bills. Queer voices will be heard. Queer people will not be silenced.
Visit the Fight for the Future website, Bad Internet Bills, and sign their petitions. They provide prewritten emails for your lawmakers. There is an all-encompassing petition and separate ones for each of the dangerous bills, all of which I strongly encourage you sign.
