Encryption for me but not for thee - CIA

I think the EARN IT Act is an attempt to encourage and facilitate for the production of more Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) child pornography to exist, and in such a way that is deceptively trying to wolf-in-sheeps-clothingly masquerade as "Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies Act of 2020" but actually facilitating for "Encouraging Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies Act of 2020"

So does the PATRIOT act. Congress doesn't give a shit.

Oh look another bipartisan bill designed to erode our rights during a crisis in the name of protecting the children. Color me surprised.

I hope this bill suffers ultra-mega-crib death like all the other shit anti-encryption, anti-free speech and anti-free internet bills.

> "However, the EARN IT Act’s “best practices” may effectively coerce online platforms into proactively scanning users’ accounts in order to keep the companies’ legal immunity under Section 230. Not only would this result in invasive scans that risk violating all users’ privacy and security, companies would arguably become government agents subject to the Fourth Amendment." Generally, I do not think that Ruqqus is coerced by more than zero coercers into things like https://www.ruqqus.com/post/4xh where Ruqqus is refraining from deploying something related to images for fear of getting dehosted, referencing claims that MAGAImg was dehosted by users posting CSAM for sole purpose of framing MAGAImg as a CSAM content distributor, however, given that, for example, Imgur remains hosted, and not nonfunctional like MAGAImg.net, I am curious how the EARN IT act, or related concerns, are related to Ruqqus to be legally immune from being liable for violations, especially as it relates to privacy. For example, I do not consider that anyone has much of any privacy whatsoever for using Ruqqus, such as by facilitating for distributing CSAM and then claiming that more than zero information at all that exists on Ruqqus platform is in any way able to be claimed as private, and that both Ruqqus and any and all users should respect their right to privacy, including that which may account for any hiding or concealing of traffic, such as using Zombie Network hacked/compromised PCs to relay traffic through, VPNs, Proxies, etc. I am curious though, from perspective of implementing anti-CSAM, why it seems so difficult or time consuming or expensive. I kind of expected that it wouldn't be a difficult process to set up.

Need to kick dual citizens out of congress.
