In late 2025, Congress is once again considering KOSA along with a package of other #BadInternetBills internet bills. EFF, Fight for the Future, ACLU, Woodhull Foundation, and dozens of other groups continue been sounding the alarm, and grassroots activisms have joined in to make it it clear that these bills are terrible ideas. Alas, Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation. We're organizing to keep them from sneaking these bad internet bills through.

This community is for news stories, opinion pieces, and action links about these bad internet bills. Please help get the word out!

I apologize. Obviously what i thought was a light hearted metaphor has triggered something deeply disturbing to you. I apologize again.

Obviously what I thought was a light-hearted tease about the poor usage of a metaphor has triggered something deeply disturbing to someone, somewhere.

Also, noticed how you didn't respond to the point I was making. ...

There’s a thing called “politics” and it’s all about changing the way people vote.

Also, didn’t seem to work this last time. Just saying.

I've apparently hurt you very deeply.

Again, I apologize.

Ahhh, the ole "I'm rubber and you're glue defense", a long-time favorite.
