The EARN IT Act is all bad news. Bad for the Internet, bad for privacy, bad for encryption, bad for #Section230 https://t.co/DQ4gEz3cAx

The disaster EARN IT Act has been introduced in the Senate, which basically forces tech platforms to offer encryption backdoors if they want Section 230 protection. (It's a little gross.) @thedextriarchy has the details: https://t.co/lnrnTGFvQP pic.twitter.com/9DhMkQWtkW

don't be fooled by the 'bipartisan' nature of this bill. it's a disproportionate, opportunistic & ultimately dangerous approach to a genuine problem. https://t.co/7ImbQiJDNp

It's out! @LindseyGrahamSC, @HawleyMO. @SenBlumenthal and @SenFeinstein introduced their much anticipated EARN IT Act, which would create a commission to set best practices for the tech industry when it comes to child exploitation and abuse online. https://t.co/yAASp8iEJT

Sen. Wyden does not mince words as he calls out the EARN IT Act, which privacy advocates argue threatens free speech, security and privacy.

Says he will be introducing his own legislation to combat child predators: https://t.co/bsYexomi2o pic.twitter.com/TKb955CxeF
Tech companies including Facebook, Google and Microsoft have agreed to voluntary principles to help prevent child sexual exploitation online.

Governments call it a step in the right direction, but ultimately want encryption backdoors:https://t.co/bsYexomi2o

NEW: Two measures were announced today to combat the growing problem of online child sexual abuse: one a bill in Congress, the other an int'l initiative establishing guidelines for tech companies. Here’s our story https://t.co/RnSRTdqmjl

First, more about the bill… 1/
Tech companies reported 70 million images/videos of child abuse last year, but did little to stop it despite having tools to do so. EARN IT Act provides incentive for tech to start protecting our most vulnerable. Thanks @SenBlumenthal @LindseyGrahamSC! https://t.co/fiksYLaYsK

Tech companies need to do better. The internet is infested with stomach-churning images of children who have been brutally assaulted & exploited. They suffer lifetimes of pain as photographs & videos endure online. https://t.co/JUYB16bsnp

Today in Things That Sound Good But Actually Are Bad, the EARN IT Act.

Ostensibly intended to fight child porn, it's likely too narrow to effectively address the problem and would enable the elimination of end-to-end encryption, a Good and Important thing. https://t.co/N8EIYIjXny

Legislators are paying attention. Pornhub hosts child pornography and refuses to remove videos of actual rapes. They will soon be accountable for their content. https://t.co/R4eYpMA8Ag

BREAKING NEWS: Despite some strong support, the bill faces opposition not only from the tech industry, but also from some victim advocates who view it as too narrow an approach to combating harms online. https://t.co/taUMVmWXPK

The credulity is out of control at NYT, where an article on the introduction of a bill that’s a stalking horse for undermining encryption gets the headline "U.S. to Hold Tech Firms Accountable for Spread of Child Sex Abuse Imagery”. Seriously? Do better. https://t.co/XuCp1o2yDu
