Last night, sex workers in Oakland sent a clear message to @KamalaHarris on her home turf: her vote to advance the #EARNITAct was a betrayal.

The EARN IT Act is SESTA/FOSTA 2.0.
The good thing is that @KamalaHarris can join @Wyden in opposing this trainwreck of a bill. #NoEarnItAct

You, reading this, can tell your reps how you feel now at noearnitact.org
We are hearing that #EARNITAct sponsors may try to force the bill through the Senate this week. They are trying to be sneaky because this bill never was about exploited kids. It's about censorship and ending essential online freedoms. #Section230
"Passing EARN IT without even fully understanding the failures of SESTA/FOSTA is negligent at best and knowingly exacerbating violence at worst,” said @KateDAdamo a sex worker advocate with @hackinghustling.
#EARNITAct endangers sex workers
#EARNITAct endangers lgbtq+ people
#EARNITAct endangers sex education
#EARNITAct endangers the entire internet

Tomorrow, @InternetArchive will file their reply brief in the suit from major publishers to end the right of IA and all libraries to own and preserve spyware-free digital books.

Reading what they’re replying to, we’ve gotta ask:

Who is the real "Napster" here?

A thread.
What the Archive’s book library does is scan paper books to make their own digital copies so that they can loan them without letting tech companies and publishing conglomerates spy on readers. fightforthefuture.org/news/2023-12-0…
And loan such books out in a 1-to-1 ratio, just like they would the paper book sitting in their warehouse, without paying totally atrocious licensing fees over and over.

🚨RED ALERT🚨

We need to stop an AWFUL bill.

@SenSchumer + @SpeakerPelosi are poised to put special interests before people by ramming through the so-called Journalism Competition and Protection Act.

Urgent action is needed. Call now:
fightforthefuture.org/actions/tell-c…
Instead of holding big tech accountable by bringing #AICOA and #OAMA to a vote as @SenSchumer promised, we are hearing that he’s looking to put a handout to Murdoch, Alden Capital, and Gannett in the National Defense Authorization Act. Why you should be outraged, a thread.
The #JCPA is a pro-monopoly bill, allowing news publishers to form a cartel and demand payment for any links to their content. It’s must-carry, and must-pay, no matter how extreme the content. That's why 20+ civil society and library groups opposed.

NEW: ❤️Fight and @MediaJustice are calling on MGM to cancel their new show, Ring Nation. This trainwreck will use video from Ring cameras to sell surveillance to viewers.
There are so many reasons civil rights groups agree that Ring is dangerous. hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/ed-…
Ring Nation tries to put a friendly face on a dangerous product.
Ring is the figurehead of Amazon’s surveillance empire. Its cameras capture the whereabouts and actions of millions and share warrantless surveillance data with the police. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Ring’s DIY surveillance toolkit gives racists a platform to criminalize people of color, and anti-choicers a network to surveil and report abortion seekers.
Will Ring Nation air soundbites of racial profiling? Of hateful anti-abortion confrontations? vice.com/en/article/qvy…

1/6: Creepy surveillance tools are spreading like wildfire across school campuses.
Since moving to remote learning, students like Aaron Ogletree have been forced to show school admin and other students their bedrooms every time they take a test. Aaron sued—and yesterday, he won. Image
2/6: In a landmark victory, a federal judge in Ohio ruled that remote “room scans” are a warrantless search under the 4th Amendment. These scans use a student’s webcam to probe their room (usually their bedroom 🙃) & are a gross privacy violation.
3/6 This is big. Students like Aaron now have the tools to fight eproctoring tools like Honorlock, Proctorio, and Respondus that invade their private lives, force them to adopt weird behavior to pass an AI check, and discriminate based on race and ability. theverge.com/2022/8/23/2331…

#DontKillCrypto Update: @RonWyden and @SenLummis have made good on their word to fight to stop invasive surveillance and defend small developers creating alternatives to Big Tech. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The bad provisions in the #InfrastructureBill might be the law, but the fix bill these Senators have introduced is a clear signal:

🔥The fight for a common sense approach to new tech that doesn't entrench Zuck as Ruler of web3 is not over.
We drove 40,000+ calls to the Senate on this issue and we are being heard. The Chair of the Senate Finance Committee is taking a stand, will your Rep join him? Find out: dontkillcrypto.com
