⚠️ 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!

🚨⚠️ URGENT ‼️ Congress is pushing through 18 bills that could age-gate and censor the internet as we speak.

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/

House subcommittee markup of KOSA and other "online safety" bills this Thursday!

https://energycommerce.house.gov/posts/chairmen-guthrie-and-bilirakis-announce-cmt-subcommittee-markup-of-online-safety-bills

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.

Is it worth setting up a change.org petition to get the #SCREENAct bill dropped? Or would it be an effort in vain? I just don’t know. #uspol

If you live in the #us, please write your #senators and #congressmen about the #screenact. The SCREEN Act is going to implement #internet policy similar to the UK here in the United States. It creates a surveillance nanny-state and sets a dangerous precedent. We don’t need it! We need parents to be parents and restrict their children from viewing objectionable material on the internet.
