    They say the Net is still free.
    I say freedom doesn’t come with a Terms of Service.

Another knife in the spine of a dying web. They call it the Kids Online Safety Act — KOSA, for short.
But I’ve seen this script before. CISPA. SOPA. PIPA. ACTA. SESTA-FOSTA. ACTA. NAFTA. NAMBLA.
Different names. Same boot.

Like always, two of our cybernetic overlords (power words: Richard Blumenthal. Marsha Blackburn) have wrapped in the soft cotton of “protecting the children,” but don’t be fooled... it’s a muzzle, not a shield. A kill-switch disguised as concern. The kind of law that would make even George Orwell raise an eyebrow and mutter... derivative.

Airstrip One passed their own “Online Safety Act.” And in the failed genetic experiment known as Australia, well... let's just say your SimWare aren't safe either. Now the Amerikkkan regime -- bloated on lobbyist data and corporate feed -- wants to end what’s left of digital anonymity.

No more open web.
No more underground signals.
No more voices that don’t fit the algorithm.

>> So how do we kill it before it kills the Net?

You ask like it’s easy.
First? People have to wake up. Shake off the dopamine fog and algorithmic lullabies. Hard, when the feed's designed to keep them docile.
If we're lucky then... Then, they flood the inboxes of their so-called representatives. Scream through the firewalls. DDoS their comfort zones with the truth.

So... take to the streets Net Warrior. The Literal Fascist who wrote this bill lives in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The corrupt mate to his authoritarian little affair, meanwhile, has offices all over Tennessee. The people who wrote and support this bill have names and faces. They have offices, and physical addresses. I'll let another NetRunner handle the details.

Or... you go full rogue.
Spam the system. Leak the flaws. Write, shout, code, fight.
They'll try to silence you. Block you. Shadowban you.
Let them try. 

Some of us were born in the static.
Some of us are the static.

>> A little bit of History

The story goes like this. In 2021, a righteous ExWorker of the META MegaCorp leaked internal docs of the corporation's sick experiments on children. Their findings shouldn't surprise you: the Instagram dopamine faucet ran by the corporation caused brain damage. But META wouldn't stop the flow. They intended to use that tech for child brainwashing.

The publication of those findings led to a public uproar. Enough that the elected managers of our surveillance police state caught wind of the situation. They wanted a piece of the action.

Then two members of the Amerikkkan National Sociocrat party, Richard Blumenthal and Marsha Blackburn, wrote up a bill demanding their turn at the cheap hole of Amerikkkan "democracy". Or so they want you to believe. Chances are it was written by an "intern"... a clout obsessed drone, brain fried by the very dopamine faucets he was supposed to regulate. Or it wasn't written by anyone in the building at all... OutSourced to a secretive law-drafting corp.

We killed it then. But not completely. It lay dormant in the crevices of bloated corruption we call a government. Dick Blumenthal tried to bring it back repeatedly, like a desperate, cybernetic phallus at the lips of our sleeping electorate. He actually tried 4 different times. The latest introduction is simply another attempt at our lips around the base of something decrepit and rotting. 

But we can no suck that cock no longer.

// So what does it even do?
Murky origins beside, the law corrupts our very righteous own concerns about the state of our privacy in the future is now. It demands "safety measures" be implemented inviting the upload of unprecedented personal information into their databases, IDs for age confirmation, violating us like a helpless, teenage ex-girlfriend. Not only that, but you and I both know those databases aren't secure. It'll only take one leak to expose us all like perverts harder than the women of the Tea application.

What's more, it illegalizes the free-est of our God-given right to expression, and any and all other media claimed to "cause harm" to children.
