Great piece on the EARN IT act, and how it’s a direct attack on privacy and encryption. wired.com/story/earn-it-…
Some great quotes in here.
And from @Riana_Crypto:
People who are looking at this as just another fuss, or something that the Supreme Court will slap down: remember, we are not in normal times.
This bill, if it becomes law, will be the most significant erosion of the individual right to communicate privately that has occurred in decades. And this liability precedent will only be the start.

My friends in DC say they’re treating it like a five alarm fire.
What I’m hoping is that the “Internet community” will pay attention to this bill and react the way they did with SOPA. Because that’s the only sort of reaction that will kill this thing.
I’m adding on this older thread that summarizes the background here, and links to a great post by @Riana_Crypto on the EARN IT legislation.
