Marsha Blackburn Bundles Every Bad Tech Bill Into One, Slaps Trump’s Name On It
⚠️ Here's info that paints the urgency around the internet bills.
There is a minimum of 36 hours between passing from subcommittee to when it can be voted on in committee. It sounds like they are trying to slam it through.
Call your reps!

Call the House Energy and Commerce committee + your own representatives and tell them you OPPOSE these efforts!

I say this about every Privacy Guides video, because it is repeatedly true, but this video is our best one yet 🤩 https://youtu.be/q0hE4EM7RRo
And this is an absolutely critical watch if you're in the U.S.A., or at least contact your reps via https://www.badinternetbills.com/ if you don't watch. The bills being proposed (largely by Democrats, they are not fighting for you!) will have a devastating global impact on free speech and privacy online.

Last week in the United States of America, Congress began fast-tracking nearly 20 bills in a massive effort to enact massive censorship on the internet, decimate your ability to use computers privately, and severely restrict free speech online.
We sat down with @taylorlorenz to dissect these 'Bad Internet Bills' and what you need to know to stop them: https://www.privacyguides.org/videos/2025/12/16/taylor-lorenz-on-kosa-the-screen-act-and-repealing-section-230/

#KOSA is back on the table from the looks of it and will be voted on in comittee on Thursday 12/11.
I've already reached out to my congresspersons and those on the committee that I could.
They're not going to stop until they can get there draconian #censorship laws past so they can hurt #lgbtq even more than they already have.
This google doc has good contact info!

House subcommittee markup of KOSA and other "online safety" bills this Thursday!
It's at 10:15 am, Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5) this Thursday, December 11. Bills also include he odious SCREEN Act, the App Store Accountability Act, COPPA 2.0 (aka CTOPPA), and more. It looks like it will be livestreamed here.
Now's a very good time to contact your representative! Here's Fight for the Future's suggested script, from https://www.badinternetbills.com/
“Hi there, My name is (your name) and I am calling to oppose multiple harmful internet bills that are moving through Congress right now. I oppose all bills that mandate online ID checks, infringe upon our constitutional right to free speech on the internet, enable government policing of online resources, and threaten end-to-end encryption. If you truly care about young people’s experience on the internet, you should pass comprehensive data privacy legislation and oppose any bill that forces Internet users to submit to ID checks or would censor the internet, like the SCREEN Act, App Store Accountability Act, and KOSA.”
https://www.badinternetbills.com/ has a calling tool that connects you with your representative, or you can just use the Capitol Hill Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. If you're not sure who your representative is, you can look it up here.
All of the recent “protect the kids” bills suffer the same problem. Under the guise of these half measures aimed at “protecting minors”, the rest of us are expected to sacrifice our own privacy.
There’s a clear solution to this but those profiting from surveillance capitalism would fight tooth and nail to prevent it even being spoken aloud. Extend these protections to everyone and protect all users’ data regardless of age.
