Making facial recognition the norm at airports is terrifying - even if it's not mandatory it will absolutely be compulsory, and it will exponentially expand surveillance of everyone traveling https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/02/tsa-security-face-recognition/

RED ALERT: hearing @SenSchumer is falsely claiming he has hear “no opposition” to #KOSA despite LGBTQ+ and digital rights advocates repeatedly explaining how this bill is a disaster with a lot of the same problems as the EARN IT act and similar bills. https://act.eff.org/action/tell-the-senate-the-solution-to-kids-privacy-isn-t-more-surveillance

We must act against tech companies like Twitter platforming violent extremism against LGBTQ+ people.
When Elon Musk claims that hate speech is down and posts that there have been just under 2 million impressions, its clear he doesn't include LOTT which easily gets 2m/per.
This morning Nazi groups are celebrating the attack.

Just a week ago, Elon Musk supported the platforming of Libs of TikTok and stood up for Shopify for allowing it to sell "groomer" merchandise. I have documented many instances of stochastic terrorism by LOTT. Please see here:

Glaad has been tracking anti-drag attacks and harassment all over the United States this year, there have been over 124 at the time of the article being written.
Many of these were FIRST targeted by Libs of TikTok.
In the replies to her targeting of the Moore County event, multiple violent threats were made. Look at this one, still available on twitter, where someone posts a picture of bullets calling the performers pedophiles.
Firerarms were used on the substations.
This is just the latest event where Libs of TikTok targets a place, and that place gets bomb threats, harassment, and now, possibly overt terrorism.
We do not know the motive for the attack, but it is suspicious that it occurred at exactly 7:00, when the drag show was to begin.
40,000 people sit without power as temperatures drop below freezing. Right wing figures insinuate that a drag show was targeted.
Hate account Libs of TikTok, defended by Elon Musk, sent her audience on them weeks prior.

He's willing to work with fascists and transphobes and homophobes and ignore the vast majority of people who DO NOT WANT bills like #KOSA and #EarnItAct. If he actually cared about kids he'd push for more public school funding, more mental health resources, better wages.
The call is coming from inside the house

QAnon believers say they're fighting a pedophile cabal.
Today, I've got a story on a leading Q promoter whose ill-advised defamation lawsuit against a local paper revealed his own criminal relationship and sexually charged text messages with a teenager.

“It seems that the goal of some in Congress is actually censorship. It is to prevent children and teenagers from seeing certain types of content,” EFF’s @imck82 told @nationaljournal about the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). https://www.nationaljournal.com/s/719663/the-narrow-pathway-to-passage-for-the-childrens-online-privacy-bill/?unlock=G6HJCFSENDPDCZ65
Twitter feels a lot like going to Macys in January - kind of empty, still some bargains, but with a lot of weird leftover stuff. Mastodon feels like going to a new supermarket (not your old familiar one) - you aren’t sure where everything is, they don’t have all of your favorites, but there’s some interesting new stuff. It’s a little unsettling to have to adapt, but I think it will be good.

Another child has been bullied into attempting to take their own life over accusations about "pedophilic" artwork. No other child protection group recognizes this crisis because they support and profit from such moral panic.

@evelynisepic has attempted suicide for a fourth time, and this time was very likely successful, because she has never been as low as she was the last few days. I hope you're happy, twitter. I really ho…
