 I’m having #KOSA nightmares. 

This US bill could push mandatory age-verification on all major platforms (meaning you would have to give your ID to someone likely to abuse or not protect very well your sensitive data). 

Imagine how more horrible and more unsafe that could make the internet.

Imagine how much worse that would be for any marginalized groups. 

Imagine how much that could endanger vulnerable people. 

Imagine how destructive that would be for anyone’s #privacy. 

If you live in the #US 
please please do something NOW to help us all. It will affect us all if it becomes law: https://act.eff.org/action/tell-congress-kosa-will-censor-the-internet-but-won-t-help-kids
