BREAKING: Brazil’s @SenadoFederal approved a tech mandate, also known as “the traceability provision,” that compels private messaging apps to track the metadata of any “massively forwarded” messages and retain it for 3 months. #PLFakeNews [1/5] eff.org/deeplinks/2020…

@EFF The traceability compels private messaging apps to change their privacy-by design platform to weaken its security and privacy protections. #PLFakeNews eff.org/deeplinks/2020… [2/5]

@EFF The traceability provision blatantly infringes on due process rights by compelling private messaging apps to track and retain extensive metadata before anyone has committed any legally defined offense. #PLFakeNews [3/5] eff.org/deeplinks/2020…

@EFF The traceability provision compels private messaging apps to weaken their security so they can track anyone who hasn't committed any wrongdoing in order to catch a few malicious actors. #PLFakeNews eff.org/deeplinks/2020… [4/5]

@EFF The virality of a message does not change the privacy and due process rights of the original sender. Forwarding a popular message does not mean you should automatically be under suspicion. #PLFakeNews eff.org/deeplinks/2020… [5/5]
