       The dangerous, anti-encryption #EarnItAct passed out of committee this morning. We know this bill—it's back from the dead to restrict the internet and make everyone less safe online. Thanks to 🐦SenAlexPadilla for entering a letter from 133 human rights orgs into the record

       The #EarnItAct threatens encrypted tools like Signal, WhatsApp, and others that protect people's safety and privacy. You can read the letter from human rights groups here: https://cdt.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/May-2023-EARN-IT-Act-opposition-letter-FINAL.pdf

       We've stopped this bill before, and we can do it again. Take action and tell Congress: #NoEarnItAct! https://www.noearnitact.org/

       @team Do we know how the committee vote broke down yet? I looked on Congress.gov but I don't see anything new from today.And for the benefit of those tracking it or writing about it, the relevant bills are S.1207 and H.R.2732. I'm gathering from the letter linked in the next post that this was the Senate side, so that may be where we need to focus efforts at the moment? (Please check me on that, FFTF.)
