Uh oh... The lobbying push for KOSA (a bill which purports to protect kids but will instead censor LGBTQ info from the Internet) is ramping up. www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-... If you belong to any of these orgs, please tell them to stop supporting this trash.

200 groups push Congress to pass Kids Online Safety Act in 2024www.nbcnews.com In a letter obtained by NBC News, the American Psychological Association and other groups encouraged Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to introduce the bill in January.

One of the people behind this push, @kylemorse.bsky.social, is here on Bluesky. Please (politely) let him know how you feel about censoring LGBTQIA+ content online. If you're on Twitter, the Tech Oversight Project (@tech_oversight) and Fairplay (@fairplayforkids) have accounts. Please be polite!

PS: It appears @kylemorse.bsky.social hasn't posted in a month. Unfortunately this is one of those cases where Twitter is still the only game in town. Contact both orgs here as well: techoversight.org fairplayforkids.org Please make your voice heard. And *please* call your senators!

the article doesn’t include a link to the letter or a list of the orgs

Absolutely appalling to see orgs like the American Psychological Association on here, I'm sure they're more conservative than I would have guessed but like you guys have all the info, you know what's going on here

I believe this is the letter (pdf):

fairplayforkids.org

From this APA page:

I wonder how they got SO MANY varied and disparate organizations to sign on…

This is from July? Not the recent letter I think.

Oh, I think you're right, the article I found it linked from is from July Good looking out

It's like the end of Killer Klowns in Outer Space. "It's over ... isn't it?" And then the theme song kicks in and you realize, no, it isn't over.

This is ridiculous. 🤬
