Kosa Bill - Blog Posts
KOSA fucking sucks and has been going on for a year maybe longer.
GET KOSA TRENDING.
STOP SCROLLING NOW!
AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.
WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON'T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.
I'M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.

⚠️🚨URGENT🚨⚠️
⚠️🚨THIS IS NOT A DRILL🚨⚠️

KOSAS FATE IS BEING DECIDIED TO DAY (OR SOME TIME THIS WEEK)
THIS IS NOT A RUMOR
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
THIS HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED BY BLUMENTHAL AND BLACKBURN THEMSELVES
WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN FOR THE GOOD OF FREE SPEECH FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND A SAFE INTERNET
THIS BILL WILL HAVE CATASTROPHIC WORLDWIDE EFFECTS
THIS BILL CANNOT PASS
CALL YOUR REPS SENATORS HOUSE WHATEVER
MAKE SOME FUCKING NOISE
BE THE BIGGEST FUCKING HEADACHE YOU CAN BE
LINK FOR RESOURCES:
I hope people in the OSC (and other fandoms in general) who are ok with or neutral about Kosa realize that not only will we lose a bunch of platforms that allow us to interact with each other (Tumblr, discord, Ao3, Wattpad, Twitter, YouTube, etc) but will also get rid of at least 80-95% of our fandom.
The OSC consists mostly of people between 13-17 who (if Kosa goes through the Senate and Houses of Representatives and gets passed as a law) will most likely no longer have access to YouTube and other social platforms which actively kills almost all the people who read and watch Object Shows!
By visiting and sharing animated shows like II or BFDI those creators make money which gives them the means to keep making their shows and paying their animators, voice actors, writers and so much more. This bill will actively get rid of most of the people who watch these shows which will cause a large loss in support and revenue for these creators and will most likely mean the end for any smaller object show.
Object show comics rely on people sharing them around in fandom spaces since they’re not animated and put on YouTube like animated object shows are. By losing these spaces and the people who support their content these creators will no longer be able to reach a large audience and get the support they need to continue their comics. This means that we will lose a lot of the comics that the OSC has!
Most of the content you see in the OSC is made by minors, which this bill will actively destroy and thus kill this fandom and many others!
So I am begging of you OSC and other communities, Please please please sign petitions, tell your senators and representatives that you don’t want this bill to pass, and tell anyone that you can reach about how this Bill is a violation of privacy and minors' rights! Re-blog anything you see with helpful information about what Kosa is and keep talking about it! We need to tell people about it so that this doesn’t go through the Senate. Remember, the final day is February 26, we don’t have that long!!!

Genuinely shocking and devastating how no one is speaking of kosa. If this bill passes we are all doomed. It's going to strip away lgbtq+ safe spaces, fandoms will be wrecked, mass censorship will invade our media from all corners.
If you are a fan or consumer of any adult media, if your a writer or an artist, if your queer, POC this law affect YOU. we need to do something the law has only been introduced according to Congress.gov
STOP KOSA NOW
Share this!!! This could be actively dangerous to millions of people, including children who’s only escape is the internet. This bill is the opposite of what we need right now!

my post about the bill
What's happening with KOSA?
Like I haven't heard much about it recently. People were panicking about it in August and September, but the talk seems to have died down. What happened? Are you Americans good over there?
