Just got off the phone with my Colorado representative. I reminded him that:

  • Everyone knows Meta lobbied for these laws
  • Everyone knows it’s not “for the children”
  • My friends and neighbors care about privacy and we are watching how you vote
  • A vote for age verification is a clear indicator that you work for corporations and not constituents

You don’t have to live in Colorado to get involved! If your state is blue or light blue on this map, you are under threat of age verification laws!

NOW is the time to call/email/write to your state legislators. Don’t say, “Yeah, I should do that.” Just do it and do it today, because they could surprise vote on it tomorrow.

    I sent an email a few weeks ago, hopefully they’re at least noticing that people are aware of these laws as a potential problem.
