Do you have five minutes to help us tell Congress not to ruin encryption, privacy, and free speech? We’ve made it clear that these #BadInternetBills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation. eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/you-

Electronic Frontier Foundation · You Can Help Stop These Bad Internet BillsRed alert! For the last six months, EFF, our supporters, and dozens of other groups have been sounding the alarm about several #BadInternetBills that have been put forward in Congress. We’ve made it clear that these bills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation.

The Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA) would increase surveillance and restrict access to information under the guise of protecting children online. act.eff.org/action/tell-congre

act.eff.orgTell the House: KOSA Will Censor the Internet But Won't Help KidsThe Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would censor the internet and would make government officials the arbiters of what young people can see online. It will likely lead to age verification, handing more power, and private data, to third-party identity verification companies like Clear or ID.me. The government should not have the power to decide what topics are "safe" online for young people, and to force services to remove and block access to anything that might be considered unsafe for children. This isn’t safety—it’s censorship.

I contacted my reps through this form, but wasn't happy that the prefix fields didn't offer a gender-neutral title like "Mx". I was forced to choose something in order to submit so I reluctantly chose "Mr."

ETA: I understand the menu choices are likely auto-populating from each rep's website, as the options were different for each of my reps. Sen. Feinstein didn't have a prefix menu at all though. So maybe better to have a fill-in-the-blank option?

Title "Alex Padilla", drop down menu with "Your prefix" and options Mr., Ms., Mrs. , Professor, Dr.
