This post is a follow up to the post by u/PrivacyEnthusiast2 on Sunday. For those who don’t know, HB2112-2025-26 would require websites hosting adult content to collect your government ID or payment information. This puts our data and online viewing habits at a major risk, especially in a time where ICE is already using state government data to track and harrass minorities and political dissidents.
Unfortunately, since being introduced on monday, HB2112-2025-26 has picked up new democratic sponsors, including some seattle area sponsors. These include Ryu – D32 (North Seattle, Lynnwood, Edmonds) – she is also on the committee hearing this bill on and Street – D37 (South Seattle and Columbia City)
What can we do?
1) contact these legislators by clicking their names and demand that they rescind their sponsorship of this bill (this worked on Lisa Parshley of Olympia)
2) Submit your written testimony here or sign up to testify live at the hearing on January 16th at 8:00 am. We really need people to testify live because currently at time of writing this while only 5% of written testimonies are pro, 33% of the spoken testimonies are pro. You can easily testify remote so if you are able to do so please testify this Friday
3) If you are in the Ballard, Magnolia, or Queen Anne, contact Liz Berry (she is on the committee hearing this bill on Friday) telling her her constituents do not support increased censorship. Thank you
