Reject the anti-encryption bill. These Senators are trying to damage privacy & security while everyone is distracted with Coronavirus! EFF made this easy tool so you can tell your senators.

Link to EFF's easy tool to tell your senators.

While the media and people are distracted with COVID-19, two Senators have been sneaking through an attack on privacy and online security.

Imagine an Internet where the law required every message sent to be read by government-approved scanning software. Companies that handle such messages wouldn’t be allowed to securely encrypt them, or they’d lose legal protections that allow them to operate.

Take Action

That’s what the Senate Judiciary Committee has proposed and hopes to pass into law. The so-called EARN IT bill, sponsored by Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), will strip Section 230 protections away from any website that doesn’t follow a list of “best practices,” meaning those sites can be sued into bankruptcy. The “best practices” list will be created by a government commission, headed by Attorney General Barr, who has made it very clear he would like to ban encryption, and guarantee law enforcement “legal access” to any digital message. This is the next FOSTA - which was disaster for many users and small companies.

The EARN IT bill had its first hearing March 12th, and its supporters’ strategy is clear. Because they didn’t put the word “encryption” in the bill, they’re going to insist it doesn’t affect encryption.

“This bill says nothing about encryption,” co-sponsor Sen. Blumenthal said at today’s hearing. “Have you found a word in this bill about encryption?” he asked one witness.

It’s true that the bill’s authors avoided using that word. But they did propose legislation that enables an all-out assault on encryption. It would create a 19-person commission that’s completely controlled by the Attorney General and law enforcement agencies. And, at the hearing, a Vice-President at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) made it clear [PDF] what he wants the best practices to be. NCMEC believes online services should be made to screen their messages for material that NCMEC considers abusive; use screening technology approved by NCMEC and law enforcement; report what they find in the messages to NCMEC; and be held legally responsible for the content of messages sent by others.

You can’t have an Internet where messages are screened en masse, and also have end-to-end encryption any more than you can create backdoors that can only be used by the good guys. The two are mutually exclusive. Concepts like “client-side scanning” aren’t a clever route around this; such scanning is just another way to break end-to-end encryption. Either the message remains private to everyone but its recipients, or it’s available to others.

The 19-person draft commission isn’t any better than the 15-person commission envisioned in an early draft of the bill. It’s completely dominated by law enforcement and allied groups like NCMEC. Not only will those groups have a majority of votes on the commission, but the bill gives Attorney General Barr the power to veto or approve the list of best practices. Even if other commission members do disagree with law enforcement, Barr’s veto power will put him in a position to strongarm them.

The Commission won’t be a body that seriously considers policy; it will be a vehicle for creating a law enforcement wish list. Barr has made clear, over and over again, that breaking encryption is at the top of that wish list. Once it’s broken, authoritarian regimes around the world will rejoice, as they have the ability to add their own types of mandatory scanning, not just for child sexual abuse material but for self-expression that those governments want to suppress. 

The privacy and security of all users will suffer if U.S. law enforcement is able to achieve its dream of breaking encryption. Senators should reject the EARN IT bill.

How is this legal? "Diversity hires" internships now explicitly exclude by ethnicity and gender. This breaks the Civil Rights Act?

Tech job internships are explicitly excluding candidates by race and gender.

Some examples:

• The Oracle Developer Scholars Program is a Paid 2020 Summer Internship. ELIGIBILITY: African Americans, Latino, Native Americans, and/or women." https://uncf.org/the-latest/oracle-developer-scholars-program-application-is-live

• Facebook University is "a hands-on immersive internship that enables students from underrepresented communities..."

• Google STEP is an "internship program [that] has a focus of providing development opportunities to students from groups historically underrepresented in tech." https://buildyourfuture.withgoogle.com/programs/step/

The Civil Rights Act appears to forbid this:

"It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer - (1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin"

Now, my understanding is that diversity programs are legal as far we are offering training for students in some unpaid capacity (like helping to teach high-school students in poor neighborhoods how to code). But it seems illegal to be offering full-blown paid internships that discriminate on gender or race. My suspicion is that these internships somehow skirt around the Civil Rights law by calling themselves "programs," or perhaps somehow the employment laws don't apply to internships...? Or did the diversity movement get ahead of itself?

How is this legal, or is it?

Hi all,

Are there any 5g mifi devices available in the UK or coming out soon? This is for other devices to connect into at home.

Thanks in advance!
