Joe Ortiz<p>So to recap on the privacy, security and online freedom of expression wrecking proposed bills going on in western democracy:</p><p>United States: <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/EARNITAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EARNITAct</span></a> </p><p>United Kingdom: <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/03/tell-uks-house-lords-protect-end-end-encryption-online-safety-bill" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2023/03/tell</span><span class="invisible">-uks-house-lords-protect-end-end-encryption-online-safety-bill</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/OnlineSafetyBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnlineSafetyBill</span></a> </p><p>European Union: <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/10/eu-lawmakers-must-reject-proposal-scan-private-chats" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2022/10/eu-l</span><span class="invisible">awmakers-must-reject-proposal-scan-private-chats</span></a><br><a href="https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/cha</span><span class="invisible">t-control/</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/ChatControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChatControl</span></a> </p><p>You know what to do in terms of contacting your elected officials.</p>
Joe Ortiz<p>Here's the <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/EFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EFF</span></a> (<span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@eff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>eff</span></a></span>) on <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/EARNITAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EARNITAct</span></a> 3.0 which is self explanatory. <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/earn-it-bill-back-again-seeking-scan-our-messages-and-photos" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/earn</span><span class="invisible">-it-bill-back-again-seeking-scan-our-messages-and-photos</span></a></p>
Joe Ortiz<p>Here's <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@mmasnick" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mmasnick</span></a></span> with a good piece on the <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/EARNITAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EARNITAct</span></a> coming back to life. It's just as destructive to privacy, security, AND online freedom of expression as the last two versions of the bill. <a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2023/04/18/earn-it-act-is-back-and-its-still-terribly-destructive/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">techdirt.com/2023/04/18/earn-i</span><span class="invisible">t-act-is-back-and-its-still-terribly-destructive/</span></a></p><p>Lawmakers just never realize that this would backfire and create a opposite effect as originally intended like they always have done.</p>
Joe Ortiz<p>The <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/EARNITAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EARNITAct</span></a> is going to be introduced yet again and it looks like it's the same old shit. </p><p>Here's a very good post from last year saying that you can't be pro choice and anti-encryption at the same time. Spot on cue. <a href="https://mastodon.lawprofs.org/@riana/110175750060471328" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.lawprofs.org/@riana/1</span><span class="invisible">10175750060471328</span></a></p>
Joe Ortiz<p>Senator Richard Blumenthal (one of the two main creators of the <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/EARNITAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EARNITAct</span></a> alongside Lindsay Graham) finally admits on the record that the bill attacks <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>encryption</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/freespeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freespeech</span></a> after two plus years of denial. <a href="https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20220210/09311048445/senator-blumenthal-after-years-denial-admits-hes-targeting-encryption-with-earn-it.shtml" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">techdirt.com/articles/20220210</span><span class="invisible">/09311048445/senator-blumenthal-after-years-denial-admits-hes-targeting-encryption-with-earn-it.shtml</span></a></p><p>Like we have been saying all along. It unanimously passed the committee stage this morning and now most likely it will head to the Senate floor in the coming weeks where it could have a full floor vote by then. <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/NoToEARNITAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoToEARNITAct</span></a></p>
Joe Ortiz<p>If you're in the US, this would be a fatal blow to LGBTQ+ creators, the end of <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>encryption</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a>, AND online <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/freespeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freespeech</span></a> all into one bill. It's called the <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/EARNITAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EARNITAct</span></a>. This is very urgent since this bill may soon become law if you all don't speak loudly on this. The Senate Judiciary Committee is voting on this tomorrow. <a href="https://nitter.net/lovingtaeonmain/status/1490709894726627329#m" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nitter.net/lovingtaeonmain/sta</span><span class="invisible">tus/1490709894726627329#m</span></a></p><p>My aforementioned thread above also explains all of what's at stake.</p>
Joe Ortiz<p>So the <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/EarnItAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EarnItAct</span></a> is back in the proposal stage. This would be a huge killer blow to not only our <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> but our online freedom of expression all at once.<br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Section230" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section230</span></a> <a href="https://www.protocol.com/bulletins/earn-it-act-back" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">protocol.com/bulletins/earn-it</span><span class="invisible">-act-back</span></a></p>
