[Can the Fediverse Help Stop Bad Internet Bills? ](https://wedistribute.org/2023/07/can-the-fediverse-help-stop-bad-internet-bills/) has more on why #KOSA, #EARNIT, #STOPCSAM, and the other bad internet bills are so bad -- including the threats to encryption and the harms they'll cause to LGBTQIA2S+ people -- and how #fediverse activism can help make a difference.
Here's four easy ways to help:
1. Upvote and boost posts in @bad_internet_bills@lemmy.sdf.org -- and cross-post them to other communities and magazines where they're on-topic
2. On Mastodon, boost posts on the #BadInternetBills and #KOSA hashtags
3. Get the word out on other social networks too
4. If you live in the US, contact your legislators using Fight for the Future’s https://www.badinternetbills.com/
