PART 1/4 After my tweet against YouTube went viral, I received a deeply disturbing email. Its language was intimidating and insensitive. Instead of addressing my concerns, YouTube is treating me like a criminal for seeking fairness and accountability.

I'm Japanese. Watching your midterm results roll in on Tuesday night broke my heart. Republicans lost ground. A wave of Muslim and radical leftists just won seats across your country. Since Tuesday, my American friends keep asking me the same question. How did Japan stay Japan? In Tokyo, trains leave on the exact second. Leave your phone on a cafe table, and it is still waiting an hour later. Every year, people in Tokyo turn in over 4 billion yen in lost cash to the police. We didn't keep this by accident. When warships forced Japan open in 1853, our ancestors made a vow. Japanese spirit, Western technique. Take the steel, the railways, and the factories. Leave the self-hatred at the dock. After 1945, leftists tried to make us hate our history. We refused. We never let guilt become a state religion the way your universities did. Nobody taught our kids that our ancestors were evil, or that the family was a crime. Foreigners are still just 3 percent of Japan. When globalists called us closed, we didn't care. We went back to work. A border isn't just a wall. It is a people who refuse to apologize for who they are. But you need to hear the second half of our story before it is too late. Japan kept its culture. Yet we are dying anyway. In 1949, 2.7 million Japanese babies were born. Last year, it dropped below 700,000. The left didn't do this to us. Weak conservatives did. For thirty years, our politicians protected zombie corporations and old voters while crushing young working men. You cannot raise a family on a part-time contract. When young Japanese stopped having kids, our rural towns simply went quiet and empty. In America, empty spaces do not stay empty. Your system priced young Americans out of homes, marriage, and children. Your schools taught them to be ashamed of their own heritage. At the exact same time, you opened the gates. You brought in millions from the Islamic world who do not share your values. They have big families, and they have zero intention of assimilating. They do not apologize for their religion or their culture. They are fiercely proud of it. And they vote as a tribe. Once that happens, elections stop being about tax cuts. Elections become a headcount. A proud culture that has children will always outvote and replace an aging culture that hates itself. Look at Tuesday night's map. That isn't just a bad midterm cycle. That is your country slipping away in real time. Stop letting spineless politicians sell out your young people for cheap foreign labor and corporate donors. You don't save a nation just by praising the past. You save it by locking the gates, fighting for your own young families, and having children to hand your country to.

A coalition of 45 AGs is not giving up on getting KOSA across the finish line before the end of the current session and before Dems take control. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I just don't see how this is a priority for the little time Republicans have left with the gavel.
In a letter dated Election Day, 45 attorneys general urged Congress to pass the Senate version of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). The House already passed its own online safety package in June. What the AGs want now is the Senate’s version, S. 1748, with its “duty of care” requiring covered platforms to take reasonable steps in how they design features to prevent or reduce certain harms to minors. The AGs are using the Meta settlement to make their case. They want Congress to turn safeguards negotiated with one company into a lasting legal standard for covered platforms across the industry. Democrats take control of both chambers in January, but the current Congress still has time to act. If KOSA language surfaces in a year-end deal, here’s what we’ll be looking at: How will platforms decide who’s a minor? What user data will they collect to make that determination? And how will the duty of care affect what people can see and share online?

🚨WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY! WE WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD AWARENESS UNTIL @TeamYouTube NOTICES!!!! There are now 48 confirmed demonetized channels, most of whom are animators. OVER 4.7 MILLION COMBINED SUBSCRIBERS. None of us are even acknowledged! We are still waiting for answers. How many more channels need to be demonetized? How many more creators need to speak up before you acknowledge this problem? You cannot keep ignoring an entire community of creators whose livelihoods are affected by the same issue. We will continue speaking out! We will continue spreading awareness! And we will continue demanding back our monetization! YouTube, It's time to listen.
🚨 YOUTUBE IS DEMONETIZING AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF ANIMATORS. AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT. This is bigger than one channel. Bigger than one appeal. An alarming number of animation creators are losing their YouTube monetization under the same "Misleading Family Content" policy. My channel, Pivot Master, has been demonetized for almost 3 MONTHS. And I'm far from the only one. Here are just some of the affected creators: Pivot Master - youtube.com/@pivotmaster Ugee - youtube.com/@Ugeeyt EGM - youtube.com/@The_official_EG… FLORZY - youtube.com/@florzystudio ADMYT Animations - youtube.com/@ADMYT123 Kalopi Animators - youtube.com/@KalopiAnimator PPANIMAN - youtube.com/@ppaniman3608 Mega Trex - youtube.com/@megatrex800 Hardy Maximus - youtube.com/@HardyMaximus Raptor Silver - youtube.com/@RaptorSilver PaleoPixels - youtube.com/@paleopixelsYt Primitive Domain - youtube.com/@PrimitiveDomain Tyrex - youtube.com/@TyrexStudios LUNATIK! - youtube.com/@MadmanCarno Jamez Escaranio - youtube.com/@JamezEscaranio Zelcurt - youtube.com/@Zelcurt JimboCC - youtube.com/@jimbocc1291 MAKATOONY - youtube.com/@MAKATOONY VAL Animation - youtube.com/@vyuwern_AL KAIJUX 3D - youtube.com/@Kaijux-x8x Vrahno - youtube.com/@Vrahno Basilosaurus Channels - youtube.com/@BasilosaurusCha… Kasch Productions - youtube.com/@kaschproduction… Vanimation Films - youtube.com/@VanimationFilms GigaAnimams1 - youtube.com/@Giga-Anims Zaïloth - youtube.com/@Za%C3%AFloth Seal Animation - youtube.com/@SealAnimations Jack Rex - youtube.com/@Jack_Rex_Animat… Spishi - youtube.com/@Spishi_56 More than 29 creators, probably way more that I am not aware of. Countless hours of animation. Years of hard work. And livelihoods being affected. Animation does NOT automatically mean children's content. Many of us create content for general audiences, yet our channels are being classified under a policy that we believe does not accurately reflect our work. And what happens when we appeal? Automated responses. Rejections. Copy-paste explanations. And creators left fighting to prove that their own content has been misunderstood. We're want TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND GENUINE HUMAN REVIEWS. @TeamYouTube @YouTube, please stop treating these as isolated cases. LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE. We want our channels reviewed fairly. We want clear explanations. And if these demonetizations are mistakes, we want our monetization restored. To every animator affected: PLEASE SPEAK UP. Repost and Quote this tweet. Tag @TeamYouTube. Share your experience in the replies. Let's make sure this issue cannot be ignored any longer. OUR CHANNELS ARE OUR YEARS OF HARD WORK. THEY DESERVE A FAIR CHANCE.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Democrats face a push for a “day 1” ban on AI superintelligence, with up to 20 YEARS in prison for violators. Arizona Rep. Yassamin Ansari says a pause on advanced AI and a ban on artificial superintelligence must be “top of the Democratic agenda on day 1.” A bill that would do exactly that was introduced by Bernie Sanders and Greg Casar in September. Under the bill: - Developing or deploying superintelligent AI would be banned - Advanced AI development would pause until a new federal regulator sets rules and a model review process - A new cabinet-level AI department would monitor frontier models and oversee removing dangerous capabilities, like ignoring shutdown commands - Companies that try to get around it would face the “corporate death penalty” - Individuals would face up to 20 years in prison AI and data centers were a “crucial or major factor” for 56% of voters in the midterms, per an NBC News exit poll.

You can't be for individual liberty and limited government while pushing a government mandate that requires "papers please" for every user to be able to download apps. The App Store Accountability Act is not parental empowerment. It does not protect children. It is a government mandate for identity verification...digital ID. Parents already have the ability to control what apps their children download through Apple and Google parental controls. They work very well. And they don't require anyone to provide ID verification or provide data proving their familial relationship.
Kids shouldn’t be able to download apps, sign up for things or make purchases without a parent’s knowledge. The App Store Accountability Act puts age checks and parental approval at the place every app passes through: the app store. Parents, not Big Tech, should have final say.

🚨BREAKING: The Government today announced plans for a woefully weak 'framework' for facial recognition. Today's announcement comes as an inadequate response to a public consultation about regulating this Orwellian tech - 5,000 of you responded to it raising privacy concerns. "The public have spoken loud and clear in the consultation, raising the alarm that facial recognition erodes our freedoms and privacy and is turning Britain into a surveillance state. It is totally inadequate for the Home Office to respond with promises of codes of practice that offer little legal accountability if breached. The Home Office claims facial recognition is as powerful as fingerprinting and DNA, yet proposes far weaker legal protections for our facial biometric data which is captured constantly as we move about. Whilst planning a woefully weak framework for the future, the government is already rolling out a five-fold increase of live facial recognition cameras across the country, expanding this Orwellian mass surveillance in our train stations and allowing police to install permanent facial recognition cameras on our high streets. We cannot accept the Government’s glacial pace, as more innocent people are falsely accused of crimes they did not commit and our freedom to live without constantly identifying ourselves to the state is already being eroded." - Jasleen Chaggar, Senior Advocacy Officer Read our full statement⤵️ bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/press…

Lisa Nandy wants to go beyond the already dreadful Online Safety Act - extending state-mandated controls from websites into people’s apps and devices They have NO MANDATE to push a massive intrusion that never featured in Labour's manifesto either How will adults access the unrestricted internet without proving who they are? Under the Government’s plans, increasingly, they won’t #dontidtheinternet

🚨WE ARE STILL HERE. AND WE ARE NOT GIVING UP. Our community has spoken. Thousands of people have shown their support. 29 affected channels in the post, many many more in the replies. All of whom have been affected. And yet @TeamYouTube remains SILENT. How many creators need to come forward before YouTube acknowledges this problem? This is no longer an singular case. Animators across the community are being demonetized for the same "Misleading Family Content" policy, with all of us still struggling to get any answers. My channel, has been demonetized for almost 3 months. Years of hard work, original animation, and dedication all demonetized without a fair assessment of my channel. We're tired of automated replies. We're tired of the same explanations. We're tired of being ignored. We deserve answers. We deserve transparency. We deserve MANUAL HUMAN REVIEWS. @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators , were all asking for you to acknowledge this situation. Acknowledge the channels you have affected. Hear our voices. Don't let an entire community of animators feel abandoned. #ReinstateWrongedCreators

"The real solutions for families are located at home, not in a state house." 💯💯💯 We must stop treating parents like they are helpless when it comes to protecting their children online. Digital ID doesn't solve the problem; it advances the surveillance state.
Unfortunately having government mandated age verification won’t solve any problems for families. It solves liability problems for Meta. The real solutions for families are located at home, not in a state house.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, YOUTUBE! IT'S TIME TO BE ACCOUNTABLE.🚨 To every creator who has lost their YouTube channel due to AI mass terminations, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We are hundreds of thousands of creators who have had our channels taken away unfairly. Years of hard work, dedication and creativity wiped out overnight by an automated system. And what do we get in return? NO PROPER HELP. NO CLEAR EXPLANATION. NO HUMAN REVIEW. NOT EVEN A SECOND CHANCE. YouTube doesn't explain why our channels were terminated or which specific videos violated its guidelines. We aren't even given a fair opportunity to understand or fix the alleged issue. Instead, we're left dealing with endless automated replies while our channels and years of hard work remain gone. ONE AI DECISION. YEARS OF WORK GONE. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY. I'm attaching screenshots from the comments section of my earlier posts. Look at how many creators are going through the same situation. Big creators, small creators and everyone in between. This is not an isolated incident anymore. This is a serious issue that YouTube needs to address. WE DEMAND ANSWERS. WE DEMAND TRANSPARENCY. WE DEMAND HUMAN REVIEWS. WE DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. We are not asking for special treatment. We are asking for FAIR TREATMENT. We're tired of being ignored. We're tired of copy-paste responses. We're tired of losing our hard work without even knowing why. @YouTube @TeamYouTube — LISTEN TO YOUR CREATORS! If you've lost your channel too, tag YouTube in the comments and share your story. Let's stand together and make our voices impossible to ignore.

🚨Effective TODAY Utah's SB 73 is actively being enforced. The final law allows the Division of Consumer Protection to approve age-verification methods by rule, and gives legal safe harbor to sites that use the state’s approved methods. I flagged this in the OP back in Feb - rules are being made by unelected bureaucrats, totally outside the legislative process. The state also built “specialized computing and auditing infrastructure developed by enterprise technology partners” to monitor websites. Which partners? What does it do? What did it cost? The press release doesn’t say. In September, a federal judge blocked the VPN provision that would have made sites liable for any Utah user hiding their location. This would have meant age-verifying everyone, everywhere...the infrastructure doesn’t stop at state lines. In reading the ruling, it seems the judge’s only real problem was a missing word: “reasonable.” Utah’s proposed fix is device fingerprinting: time zone, language settings, browser data, account history. UT lawmakers are expected to work on this in the 2027 session. Every step of this new law was sold as "protecting kids". Every step builds a credential checkpoint for every user. This infrastructure is easily expanded to other areas of the digital world...and it ALWAYS is. You can count on it.
Is Utah Ground Zero for age verification policies? SB 73 is an interesting AV bill - of course "to protect the kids!!!" - that mandates age verification for certain online content while leaving the actual rules and details to state agencies (unelected regulators), who can decide later how you prove your age and change those standards over time. This is yet another bill that builds a pathway toward de facto digital ID requirements, with major privacy and free-speech implications, without lawmakers ever voting on the details. 🧵

It’s not just a matter of being blind to the situation; many people have complained because YouTube’s AI bot made a mistake and deleted their channels! and the appeals process isn’t even handled by actual human beings! @TeamYouTube @YouTube @nealmohan

Poland has sent its president a bill that lets a telecoms regulator order websites blocked at the request of police, prosecutors, tax officials, copyright holders, or any internet user. Sites that refuse go on a domain register, and internet providers have 48 hours to wipe them from DNS. That register is exempt from freedom of information law. The Senate moved “political affiliation” cases from judges to regulators so they can be blocked without delay. The person who posted the content gets 24 hours to respond. The law states plainly that there is no appeal. Nawrocki vetoed this in January and compared it to the Ministry of Truth. The government split the blocking powers into a separate bill and sent them straight back. Now he has to say it again. reclaimthenet.org/poland-int…

The Pro-Censorship Karens have escalated from PORN to HORROR🫠
Why is everyone trying to censor the horror genre suddenly 💀 it’s horror for a reason, which means it’s going to involve sensitive subjects? If you don’t like it or can’t separate fact from fiction maybe don’t consume horror content
