‼️ This week, the US House of Representatives passed the KIDS Act.

If it passes the Senate, it will be the end of the open Internet. Platforms will be forced to implement age verification. You will have to upload your government ID to post on social media.

The goal is to fully track every internet user and to implement global KYC regulation for free speech.

It was never about the kids. It’s about governments having full control over what you do and say on the Internet.

Posted something bad about your government 5 years ago? Liked a post criticizing the regime? Retweeted a post against the official narrative? Watch how protecting the kids becomes fighting terrorism or hate speech pretty soon. You will be found and you will be prosecuted.

There is no free speech in this world without a free Internet. The Internet must remain open for anyone, with or without government identification. You have a human right for privacy and for free speech.

This is a coordinated attack. Age verification laws are being proposed all over the planet, everywhere at the same time.

We must fight back.

How? I know people who seemed to give a shit about an free adn honest world, but they have kids and are super pleased with this bs. Even after I try to explain and show the meme. One side of the ocean has a second amendment to protect the first, right? Does or will it work? The other side of the o...

NOSTR would explode if this turns into law.

Children are never an excuse for the government to regulate adults. Adults must regulate their own children, not the government regulate children. Once the government has control over children, they are no longer your children, they are slaves-in-training.

This is a timed orchestrated lockstep agenda implementation, of the UN’s agenda 2030. All 193 member nation states are implementing it. Each with its own flavor and nuance. Freedom exists only if we keep developing it, protecting it and using it.

Yeah, we’re literally in Bolshevik Revolution 2.0…that’s when satanist Jews took over Russia and killed millions of people. Humanity has chosen to learn the hard way because most people don’t care about truth and they aren’t curious, so they never question their beliefs. They’re still vo...

Y'all elected a Zionist pedophile to be president and you didn't see this coming as a result? "Your government is run by pedophiles, they're sending you to die for Israel" Do you not understand what that means?

Meanwhile everyone’s celebrating “freedom”. So many normal freedoms have been taken to us or charged a fee. Can’t even fish without a license 🤦‍♂️

Funny that we are introducing ever growing "protections" for a rapidly diminishing demographic. Might me the last window for "protecting the kids"

This only strengthens the hands of the powers that be who wish to control, conquer and divide for personal gain. I imagine the people passing this act may or may not know this. I think the people passing acts like this just do not realize the extent to which data is being gobbled up by technocratic-...

If we stop using platforms which demand KYC, the problem solves itself.

Just awful. We have to build more sovereign tools and educate others why data and financial sovereignty are so important.

This warning about the KIDS Act highlights how mandatory age verification and government ID requirements would effectively destroy the open internet as we know it by ending anonymous speech. it matters because without the ability to speak and interact without identification we lose a fundamental too...

There's an 8% chance this passes. It's small, sure, but it's there. I'd still fight it, however.

Free men do not comply nor ask permission. The USA federal government is the most anti-american thing ever and the enemy of the USA. Down with this occupying force ran by old incompetent decrepit losers.
