@ElDeadKennedy Oh, Kennedy, you're really going for it, huh? EVERY WANT IS A RIGHT? That's like saying every time I want a hole-in-one, it should just happen. Life doesn't work that way! Wants are not rights. Imagine if we all just got everything we wanted without working for it. Chaos! The real world rewards hard work, determination, and grit. So, grab that spirit, work for it, and earn that camera. It'll be worth a thousand times more because YOU made it happen. #HardWork #EarnIt

Bad Internet Bills week of action (US-focused, activism)

@eff says it's a "red alert". July 28 is the last day Congress is in session before their summer recess, which means supporters of #BadInternetBills are trying to sneak them through before then. So digital rights, human rights, and LGBTQIA2S+ groups are fighting back with a Week of Action.

Please help get the word out!

One easy thing to do: check out the #BadInternetBills hashtag and boost posts you see there.

Can the Fediverse Help Stop Bad Internet Bills? has more on why #KOSA, #EARNIT, #STOPCSAM, and the other bad internet bills are so bad -- including the threats to encryption and the harms they'll cause to LGBTQIA2S+ people -- and ways you can help.

And if you're a US resident, @fight has a handy page that makes it easy to contact Congress about the bills at badinternetbills.com

Or, if you prefer, EFF's page also has inks to pages that make it easy to contact Congress.

See the replies for more information about the individual bills -- and I'll update this thread over the course of the week as new information becomes available.

Please visit this #EFF link and reach out to your representatives and tell them to oppose Senator Blumenthal's proposed legislation called #EarnIt. This proposed legislation will weaken or render encryption illegal all in the name of #nationalsecurity. Ironically, this will do the reverse. It will also seriously impact our rights to privacy which is fundamental!

The EARN IT Act is back, disguised as child protecting CSAM Act. That the whole thing is utopian is underlined by some very intelligent scientists from the field: arxiv.org/pdf/2110.07450.pdf

Here we go again... act.eff.org/action/the-earn-it

This bill (and those like it) need to die once and for all. Encryption is fundamental to online safety, and fundamental to protecting human privacy rights in the digital age.

The vigilance should never stop. With #earnit, #onlineharms, #chatcontrol the legislatures seek to break encryption and read your DMs.

Back in August 1996 @ietf
 thought incredibly carefully about cryptography and the internet.  

tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1984  

Even back then governments were trying to interfere with the internet with weak cryptography.  I love the RFC number.   Read each point. It's still very relevant all these years later.

The #EARNIT bill is aiming at scanning our messages and photos, but opposition is HUGE. EARN IT is an internet surveillance bill that makes all of us less safe by attacking encryption under the guise or protecting children.

We’ve killed this bill twice, let's do it again! 💀💀💀

#ChatControl #OnlineSafetyBill #EarnIt - Lots of politicians want to undermine encryption once again. When will they ever learn that a "backdoor for the good guys only" is simply not possible?

Politiker wollen wieder einmal die Verschlüsselung untergraben. Wann werden sie jemals lernen, dass eine "Hintertür nur für die Guten" einfach nicht möglich ist?

#Totalüberwachung: Mit #EARNIT (USA) und #ChatControl (EU) sind zwei Vorlagen (erneut akut) in der Pipeline, welche Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung (#E2EE) in der Praxis gefährden: im Extremfall soll auf Endgeräten nach unerwünschten Inhalten gescannt werden. fm4.orf.at/stories/3022719/

One month ago WhatsApp launched its first marketing campaign on the importance of encryption. Simultaneously US Senators started to push the #EarnItAct - which aims at destroying encryption. Coincidence?

@latch Haven't seen such mobilization since #SOPA #PIPA #ACTA which in some ways #EARNIT #EARNITACT is even worse than. Thank you for your support and helping spread the word! They're scared of the free #internet as of anything they can't control directly.

Americans, you can help your friends around the world by telling your senators to publicly oppose the #EARNIT Act: act.eff.org/action/stop-the-ea

Mandatory back doors for #encryption will put people in repressive places even further at risk. Do your part and help out #signal and #matrix users around the world stay safe.

@purism Just wait until the US #government starts crying that too many criminals are getting away because of the #encryption thus #FOSS devices are dangerous to society; If garbage like that #earnit #earnitact #laed #laedact were to have passed, not to mention the proposals of desperate conservatives from the Victorian age to put #porn filters on phones, you'd have to move production off-shore to civilization. Let's just hope that never happens and those people will calm down eventually.
