Have you heard of the EARN IT bill anons? Well, it is arguably the single most dystopian piece of legislation to ever hit the US Congress. Supported demonrats and republikikes alike, this bill will literally be the end of Yas Forums and the internet as we know it.
>Imagine an Internet where the law required every message sent to be read by government-approved scanning software. Companies that handle such messages wouldn’t be allowed to securely encrypt them, or they’d lose legal protections that allow them to operate.
>NCMEC believes online services should be made to screen their messages for material that NCMEC considers abusive; use screening technology approved by NCMEC and law enforcement; report what they find in the messages to NCMEC; and be held legally responsible for the content of messages sent by others.
Make no mistake, this bill is not about public wellbeing. It is obviously also not about protecting "missing and exploited children." As always, they are merely using the "won't somebody think of the children" bit as an excuse to push through absurdly draconian legislation.
This cannot be allowed to pass in this timeline.
