named organizations in the Digital
Childhood Alliance coalition, which is
tne group pushing these bills
nationally.Those three are NCOSE (National Center on Sexual Exploitation), the institute for Family Studies, and the Ethics and Public Policy Center. The last two received $50,000 each specifically for a "Protect Kids Online' initiative that produced the policy research underlying the ASAA framework.
Here's also a direct personnel pipeline. Annie Chestnut Tutor worked as a legislative assistant to Senator Mike Lee, where her portfolio included tech and telecom policy. Lee introduced the federal ASAA. Tutor then moved to Heritage Foundation as
a policy analyst, where she now publishes reports advocating tor the same bill her former boss introduced. Her testimonial was on the DCA website from its verv first dav of
existence, before the organization was even publicly announced. She shaped the bill in Lee's office, advocates for it at Heritage, and endorsed the coalition pushing it trom launch day. On top of that, Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty (another DCA coalition member). was hired as Executive Vice President of Heritage Action for America in July 2025. So two of DCA's six named members are now functionally the same
organization at the leadership level. Meanwhile, a Heritage Foundation fellow named Dustin Carmack, who authored the Intelligence Community chapter of Proiect 2025, was hired by Meta in May 2024. So there's personnel flowing in both directions.
On your point about the EU and UK: the
comparison actually helps illustrate
the problem. The EU's Digital Services Act and related frameworks include explicIt exemptions for open source software. None of the US bills do. California AB-1043 defines "Operatinc system Provider" as anyone who
develops, licenses, or controls an OS
on any general purpose computing
level. That language covers
Volunteer-maintained Linux
distributions.Six US states have enacted or introduced bills from the same template and not one contains a FOSS carve-out. Whether that's intentional or
just negligent drafting, the effect is the
same. We will upload more files regarding the Heritage Foundation platter this week" -

@pluralistic this also seems relevant to your specific interests.

@Sascha fascinating! The article didn’t say anything about potentially swapping / increasing the RAM (I’m guessing it’s impossible). But really good to know!

Grim news from Texas.
Absurdly, a jury has decided to convict all of the defendants in the Prairieland case on most of the charges—including, to name one example, "Corruptly Concealing a Document" for moving a box of zines.
The jury's verdict:
https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/verdict-prairieland-alvarado-ice-facility-federal-trial/
Background on the case:
https://crimethinc.com/Prairieland
This verdict is a reminder not to count on the courts to stop the rise of fascism. This is only the first of several trials in the case.
This case is intended to set a precedent enabling the government to suppress resistance of all kinds. Yet this outcome must not discourage us from fighting as hard as we can against them.
On the contrary, it should drive home the stakes of the fight. If we lose, no one will be safe, no matter how obedient and passive. Let's fight them with everything we've got while there is still a chance of victory.
