![I’m a constituent of [Constituency] and I’m writing to inform you about my urgent concerns about our freedom of expression and privacy. Payment processors are increasingly using their financial control to coerce online platforms (e.g. Steam and Itch.io) into demonetizing/deplatforming entire genres of video games and artwork because they contain sensitive/adult content. Independent art on the internet shouldn’t be suppressed by payment processors or the government. I urge you to protect creators’ freedom to make/sell adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for media that is being strongarmed. If VPNs are blocked then Americans lose the battle for digital privacy and digital freedom. Utah’s law targeting VPNs goes into effect on May 6th, and when one state passes a law like that, it can have an unfortunate chain reaction across the country. I urge you to protect the right of Americans (adults especially) to use VPNs. Age verification laws mandate the use of systems that ingest our sensitive personal data. This is like forcing people to show ID at every door, given that these laws target broadly defined topics. When third parties collect our valuable data, it increases the risk of leaks or misuse. Therefore, we should limit such data collection to situations where it is absolutely necessary. For the parents who want their child’s internet use to be safer, I recommend the existing parental controls and settings built into most devices.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ijz5mauqn6vxbnschxxu2s22/bafkreifwebxnb2x3xpf3os5erxljafwy2qfjbgnrdcbxfmbiibnoszssuy)
