Long story short: tell state and local governments to ban facial recognition software in schools, tell Google to stop enabling sexual deepfakes, and tell your state Governor to opt in to our IRS’s Direct File program. Use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs to communicate your will.
Ban Facial Recognition helps you, guess what, tell state and federal governments to ban facial recognition software in schools. Because it sucks! Because one wrong accusation can ruin a kid’s life anymore! Because it can’t tell Black people apart any better than your MAGA hat-wearing uncle can! Because it’s yet another way private corporations collect data on good Americans and sell it to those who shouldn’t have it! Because any trove of data might as well wear a HACK ME sign on it, and that kind of hackery ruins lives! Anyway, let me know if I’m not making myself clear. Many have told me I hold back on my emotions far too much.
Ultraviolet helps you tell Google to stop enabling the spread of sexual deepfakes on the internet. Actual porn stars get exploited enough; now comes the advent of artifically-created sexual images – often of famous people, but it could be you, too, if someone’s mad at you! – made without consent. Gosh, it’s like the future sucks! You thought it’d be all transmats and jetpacks, but it turns out it’s all fake sexual images and AI telling you to jump off a bridge if you’re depressed and banksters repossessing prostethic limbs after slamming patients with surprise medical bills. Anyway, Google’s full of billionaires, so they have the power to stop this crap from happening.
Finally, the Coalition on Human Needs helps you tell your state governor to opt in to our IRS’s Direct File program. The Direct File program – which lets good Americans file their taxes for free with our IRS, rather than have some middle-man skim a few hundred bucks to do the same – did so well in a dozen states that good Americans in all 50 states can take part next year, if their governor opts in to the program. A lot of right-wing governors will say no, and a lot of right-wing blowhards will pretend this is all TEH BIG BRUTHURZ!!!!! Well, that’s why we communicate our will to our elected leaders – to cut through the drama and hysteria.
