‼️ 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.
