Today is the anniversary of SESTA/FOSTA being signed into law.

It remains the only time that Congress has amended Section 230.

And it got people killed.

Today, we’re organizing a call-in day to pass the SAFE SEX Workers Study Act

It's unacceptable for lawmakers to treat sex workers, LGBTQ+ folks, people of color, and other marginalized communities as "acceptable collateral damage" in tech regulation. Congress must learn from the deadly mistakes of the past before they repeat them

In the immediate wake of SESTA/FOSTA’s passage, sex workers—particularly queer and trans folks of color—were cut off from online platforms and tools they used to make a living and keep themselves safe.

Call 202-972-4259 to tell Congress to pass #SSWSA

Last night, sex workers in Oakland sent a clear message to @KamalaHarris on her home turf: her vote to advance the #EARNITAct was a betrayal.

The EARN IT Act is SESTA/FOSTA 2.0.
The good thing is that @KamalaHarris can join @Wyden in opposing this trainwreck of a bill. #NoEarnItAct

You, reading this, can tell your reps how you feel now at noearnitact.org
We are hearing that #EARNITAct sponsors may try to force the bill through the Senate this week. They are trying to be sneaky because this bill never was about exploited kids. It's about censorship and ending essential online freedoms. #Section230

Congress is trying to ram through reauthorization of the #PatriotAct and #FISA surveillance. These mass spying programs haven’t saved any lives, but they HAVE been used to crack down on protesters and political dissent.

Here’s a short history …

The first wiretaps were used to spy on a cop-turned-bootlegger in the 20’s. The public loved him for defying unjust Prohibition laws, and he never used violence against the public or the police. But the federal government wanted to make an example.

By the 30’s, the federal government was using wiretaps to spy on political activists, helping corporations prevent workers from unionizing in protest against unsafe working conditions and economic exploitation.

Do not use @zoom_us to organize. Preferably, do not use #Zoom for anything at all. ✊ @hackinghustling

.@signalapp, Wickr, @WhatsApp, @telegram, and @KeybaseIO (recently acquired by @zoom_us) are encrypted messaging platforms. The first four have 1:1 calling. Wickr has group video chat, and @BlueJeansNet has this capability (but it's owned by @Verizon 🤢).
