…You know those bad internet bills I keep talking about? Like EARN IT and the SMART Copyright Act and that sort of thing?

Well here’s another one, but this one’s state-based! Specifically, it’s in California, and it basically wants to mandate websites to force you to use your real ID to interact with more or less anything, in the name of “protect the children,” because of course it fucking is.

Now, not only does this fuck over sex workers, but it fucks over everyone privacy-wise, including kids! Imagine being forced to give all of your sensitive data to strangers to basically do anything online. and it becomes clear how much of a nightmare this is.

And that’s even before we think about the implications of eroding online privacy like this in a post-Roe world, or the real probability of privacy leaks!

And make no mistake, as one can probably gather from the famous “this product is known to cause birth defects or cancer in the state of California” labels, this is very likely to affect these services in other states.So this bill is dangerous.

So, if you live in California, contact your members of the California State Assembly and State Senate and tell them not to vote for this bill, because it is awful and will put a wrecking ball through privacy online.

And if you can’t, for the love of god, please boost this. God I’m sick of these bills…

Reblogging because, it fucking passed both chambers, and it’s on the way to Governor Newsom’s desk. and, as I found out from Techdirt, despite the fact that for a split second I thought it might’ve been made less bad, it’s still really bad and they haven’t done shit about the possibility of forced; mandatory age checks or the free speech nightmares it’s going to cause.

If you live in California, you can contact Governor Newsom on this here, and if you have any connections with any prominent orgs relevant to this, tell them to push back on it.

Like, god, even with the need to challenge it in court, this is still scary as hell…
