#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

This new bill probably won't be considered until after the holidays, but we stand ready to support @RonWyden and @SenLummis with all we've got to defend the right to create alternative, peer-to-peer and community-run solutions that combat Big Tech and Big Banks.

We are prepared to push back against the #CryptoFelony provision as well, ensuring that artists building and benefiting from alternatives to exploitative and discriminatory creative monopolies aren't slapped with a felony and thrown in jail. qz.com/2086486/the-in…

Even if you think anything built on a blockchain is a scam (sry not sry some of it is green AND cool af🤷‍♀️), we all agree that major government surveillance requirements shouldn't be shoehorned into a must-pass bill—& that we need to consider laws that affect the web carefully.

There is a lot of work on the horizon for us at ❤️Fight, including growing a coalition of like-minded human rights organizations to protect the future of the web. More on that soon 😉
