Stop the Michigan Digital Surveillance Blitz (HB 4429, 5649-51, SB 284, 757-760)

Tell the Michigan Legislature: "Protect our digital privacy. Vote NO on the 'Digital Age Assurance Act' and the 'Kids Over Clicks' surveillance package (House Bills 5649-5651 & Senate Bills 284, 757-760)." To the Members of the Michigan Legislature: The State of Michigan is currently pushing a massive, coordinated regulatory "blitz" that would fundamentally destroy digital privacy and individual sovereignty for every resident of our state. We, the undersigned, oppose the following legislation in its entirety: - The Digital Age Assurance Act (SB 284 / HB 4429): These bills mandate that device manufacturers build "age estimation" and "digital signals" into our private hardware. - The "SAFE for Kids" Act (SB 757 / HB 5649): Prohibits "addictive feeds" for minors, forcing platforms to verify the age of every user. - The Michigan Kids Code (SB 758 & 759 / HB 5650): Imposes "privacy" defaults that require de-facto digital IDs to distinguish adults from minors. - The LEAD for Kids Act (SB 760 / HB 5651): Restricts private interactions with AI technology based on government-mandated age gates. Collectively, these bills represent an unacceptable expansion of the surveillance state. They force adults to surrender biometric data or government IDs to private corporations just to browse the internet, destroy the right to digital anonymity, and insert the State into the private software architecture of our personal property. We demand that you uphold our individual liberty. We call on you to reject these mandates and protect the right of every Michigander to use the internet privately and anonymously. Do not turn our personal devices into state-mandated tracking beacons.
