Act Now: Stop the EARN IT Bill

From Restore The Fourth:

Today, the Senate is voting on a bill that could end encryption, and free speech as we know it, online: The EARN IT Act. As our friends at EFF put it: The bill will create a new government commission, dominated by law enforcement agencies, and give it unprecedented power over websites both large and small. Attorney General Bill Barr and the DOJ have demanded for years that messaging services give the government special access to users’ private messages. If EARN IT passes, Barr will finally get his wish—law enforcement agencies will be able to scan every message sent online. The EARN IT Act (S. 3398) is anti-speech, anti-security, and unnecessary. If that sounds vague, it's because the legislation is intentionally vague. It gives this new commission unprecedented power to demand websites share nearly any information or do nearly anything it wants, and removes their right to free speech and other legal protections if they don't. It would effectively make encryption, and protecting your privacy, almost illegal. That's why we signed onto this coalition letter and are asking you to take action now: 1.  Sign the petition to tell Congress: “Don’t kill online encryption! Reject the dangerous EARN IT Act.” 2.  Call 1 (813) 213-3989. You'll be connected to your members of Congress so you can tell them: "Vote NO on the EARN IT Act, and any attempt to spy on our digital communications." Click Here to Act Now Later may be too late.
