URGENT: WashPo is reporting that there is still an effort to quietly include the dangerous #STOPCSAM Act (this is basically just the #EarnItAct Act under a different name) in the must-pass #NDAA.
If you are in the US, please contact your Congresspersons and explain why the STOP CSAM Act is unnecessary, and harmful to online privacy and freedom of speech.
"... if the STOP CSAM Act passes, it would make it a crime to offer encryption, because it could "facilitate" the sharing of illegal child abuse material (CSAM)—even if there's no evidence that a platform or service intended to do so. The law would undermine digital security for all internet users..."
As an act of protest against the EARN IT act and the STOP CSAM act, today, I'm wearing my "Encryption is not a crime" T-shirt while I'm out shopping. It's not much, but hopefully, it does something.
