Once again, the UK is censoring free speech by banning porn.

Dont care if you think its pointless. Demand your reps pass free speech bills & remove all parts in the OSA banning legal art

Hey. If you're in the EU and you hate face/ID-verification laws ruining the internet piece by piece, here's your chance to tell them to screw off.

The bill has been opened to feedback. Rather than dooming about the proposal, you can tell them exactly how you feel about the act here. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

With how much of an uphill battle Chat Control is having, you should never assume it's worthless to fight these draconian bills.

I realize I tend to treat books like food, whereas many treat them more like treasures, but either way the last thing our society needs is to restrict access to books that students would otherwise be reading. #STOPCENSORSHIP

I'd like to add a TL;DR: Furaffinity's also being starved by paypros who want them to remove any and all adult (and queer!) art.

So.

Please, put some fucking pressure on payment processors again. People gave up too quick last time. #stoppaypros #censorship #stopcensorship #furry #savespeech

Everyone, MasterCard and Visa are at it again with their crackdown on free expression... only this time they're targeting Pixiv. The censorship attacks have now expanded to mainstream magna on PixivFANBOX, proving us right once again that censorship will NEVER stop at the "icky" stuff. #savespeech

KOSA/KIDS Status Report:

- Mike Johnson adjourned House a day early. Won't return till after midterms
- Bills in senate still AT LARGE

Keep leaving messages for reps. Tell them to OPPOSE KOSA, KIDS Act, SB 5090, Stop CSAM Act(would override Section 230), KOSMA, and others

Payment processors, banks, & politicians knew we would slow down to a halt eventually if they held out long enough.

If you're not still calling, writing, emailing, @ ing on socials, what-have-you (though calls are best), now is as good of a time as any to start back up.

France's National Assembly is considering a bill that would criminalize adult content sales, equating online content creation with pimping. Consumers and platforms would face steep fines and prison.

The bill is being championed by Céline Thiébault-Martinez, an MP on the supposed socialist left.
An Anti-Sexual Violence Bill Could Ban Adult Sites in France AVN
A proposed national bill intended to combat gender-based and sexual violence in the French Republic could drastically expand pimping and procurement measures online to potentially cover direct-to-cons...

If you're an EU citizen, here's an EU Citizen's Initiative to stop mandatory age verification for you to sign. I'm doing my part

This isnt just a petition, if they reach the 1 million signature goal the EU commission is required to address it seriously

Steam has implemented age verification measures for Australian customers, restricting them from purchasing or even viewing titles that carry a local age rating of R18+.

Currently, the one and only method of age verification is linking a supported credit card to a Steam account.

The move follows changes to Australia’s online safety code, and similar implementations on the PlayStation and Xbox storefronts.

My full statement here. Again, I'll have more to say about the specific provisions, especially how the settlement is a raw deal for teen users who do not have an emotionally safe relationship with their parent or guardian
