Betreff: Save encryption

Action Alert
Members of Congress have mounted a major threat to your
security online.
The Graham-Blumenthal bill deals with the very serious issue
of child exploitation online, but it offers no meaningful
solutions. It doesn't help organizations that support
victims. It doesn't equip law enforcement agencies with
resources to investigate claims of child exploitation or
training in how to use online platforms to catch
perpetrators. Rather, the bill's authors have used defending
children as the pretense for an attack on our free speech
and security online.
Bottom line: the Graham-Blumenthal bill would give the
Attorney General far too much power to dictate how Internet
companies must operate. We all know how AG William Barr
would use that power: to break encryption.
Barr has repeatedly insisted that communications platforms
should undermine their own security in order to give law
enforcement agencies access to our private messages. The
Graham-Blumenthal bill would finally give Barr the power to
demand that those platforms obey him or face serious
repercussions, including both civil and criminal liability.
Barr's demands would put encryption providers like WhatsApp
and Signal in an awful conundrum: either face the
possibility of losing everything in a single lawsuit or
knowingly undermine their users' security, making all of us
more vulnerable to criminals.
The so-called EARN IT Act is anti-speech, anti-security,
anti-innovation, and unnecessary. Let's tell Congress to
reject it.
