⚠️PLEASE READ⚠️
guys, something big is gonna happen soon and we need your help to stop it. The KOSA (Kids Online Safety Act) is being targeted to the US this month and it’s not good.
Yes I want children to be safe. But not only am I under 18, but many of my readers are between 14-18 years olds. This platform is not only my career but it is also my hobby where i can practice, learn, connect, and read.
If the KOSA Act is passed, many apps and websites that you all enjoy is going to be taken away or restricted to certain ages. This bill is also including the Don’t Say Gay act, and restricts many platforms, such as this one, because it has LGBTQIA+ content.
some platforms that are gonna be crossed in this hellfire is: wattpad, tiktok, instagram, imessage, twitter, facebook, and so many others.
I’m asking all writers to please speak up about this and make a post on all your platforms, to not only allow teenagers to grow and find communities where they are accepted, appreciated, and comfortable, but to also keep many young writers inspired. This platform is one that means a lot to me and loosing it would be devastating to not only me, but thousands around the world.
Ways to help:
badinternetbills.com has a script and list of numbers for you to call your senators to tell them about your concerns. SPEAK UP! YOUR VOICES CAN BE HEARD.
Educate family and friends and send this or tiktoks ( one great tiktok creator is @omarsbigsister) and educate yourself and everyone you can.
Please don’t go under companies, organizations, celebrities, or communities threatening them or insulting them as this can be used for evidence in the hearing.
PLEASE SPREAD AWARENESS!!!
