We Are Running Out of Time | Congress Has Already Started on the Second Phase of Banning Your Digital Privacy | Speak to Your Senators
July 2, 2020 The EARN IT Act Meeting Has Been Held | Committee Has Approved the Bill
Where did the bill pass? Update yourself on this issue using the bill tracker.
The Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act
The Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act is a bill meant to protect national security requiring “service providers and device manufacturers to provide assistance to law enforcement when access to encrypted devices or data is necessary,” introduced June 23, 2020.
Pressing criminals will lead to their arrests. However, pressing criminals will never justify the threat of creating a backdoor to the information of all average people. Encryption protects you from having unauthorized users access your data because encryption is a lock to all of your information for a key that only you have.
Encryption is key for ensuring data safety. Encryption is used by many ordinary people on the internet, including you. Many companies use encryption to protect their users. All users need encryption to protect themselves on the internet. If you use encryption, you can voice your concerns and save encryption.
Disclaimer: Choosing to contact your senators allows you to build your relationship with them as a citizen. You may choose to contact your senators at your own discretion. People you voice your opinion to may have a different opinion than you. This should not be taken personally.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is an international non-profit digital rights group based in San Francisco, California. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has consistently prevailed in lawsuits against the federal government, the FCC, the world's largest entertainment companies, and major electronics companies, among others.
Recently, the EFF has made an article addressing the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data act and the consequences of having a ban on encryption.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is running a campaign made to address the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act even further which you can find on the their website. Your help will impact the future of encryption.
Please consider visiting the Electronic Frontier Foundation website and contacting your senators. Tell your representatives the importance of having encryption and why encryption is important to you. Encryption is a means to protect all users of the internet.
What You Can Do Right Now
Contact your senators in a polite and respectful manner. Alternatively, contact your senators easily in 4 steps via courtesy of the EFF. Tell your senators about the importance of encryption, why encryption is important to you and why encryption is important to have without a backdoor.
Disclaimer: Choosing to contact your senators allows you to build your relationship with them as a citizen. You may choose to contact your senators at your own discretion. People you voice your opinion to may have a different opinion than you. This should not be taken personally.
Get to know your congress and understand who you are dealing with. Taking steps to secure digital encryption will ensure we have a safe, digital environment where everyone can be safe.
Disclaimer: I am responsible for my content only. This post is for the discussion of the EARN IT Act and digital encryption only. All suggestions made to contact congress are for recommendation purposes only.

We Are Running Out of Time | Congress Has Already Started on the Second Phase of Banning Your Digital Privacy | Speak to Your Senators
July 2, 2020 The EARN IT Act Meeting Has Been Held | Committee Has Approved the Bill
Where did the bill pass? Update yourself on this issue using the bill tracker.
The Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act
The Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act is a bill meant to protect national security requiring “service providers and device manufacturers to provide assistance to law enforcement when access to encrypted devices or data is necessary,” introduced June 23, 2020.
Pressing criminals will lead to their arrests. However, pressing criminals will never justify the threat of creating a backdoor to the information of all average people. Encryption protects you from having unauthorized users access your data because encryption is a lock to all of your information for a key that only you have.
Encryption is key for ensuring data safety. Encryption is used by many ordinary people on the internet, including you. Many companies use encryption to protect their users. All users need encryption to protect themselves on the internet. If you use encryption, you can voice your concerns and save encryption.
Disclaimer: Choosing to contact your senators allows you to build your relationship with them as a citizen. You may choose to contact your senators at your own discretion. People you voice your opinion to may have a different opinion than you. This should not be taken personally.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is an international non-profit digital rights group based in San Francisco, California. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has consistently prevailed in lawsuits against the federal government, the FCC, the world's largest entertainment companies, and major electronics companies, among others.
Recently, the EFF has made an article addressing the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data act and the consequences of having a ban on encryption.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is running a campaign made to address the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act even further which you can find on the their website. Your help will impact the future of encryption.
Please consider visiting the Electronic Frontier Foundation website and contacting your senators. Tell your representatives the importance of having encryption and why encryption is important to you. Encryption is a means to protect all users of the internet.
What You Can Do Right Now
Contact your senators in a polite and respectful manner. Alternatively, contact your senators easily in 4 steps via courtesy of the EFF. Tell your senators about the importance of encryption, why encryption is important to you and why encryption is important to have without a backdoor.
Disclaimer: Choosing to contact your senators allows you to build your relationship with them as a citizen. You may choose to contact your senators at your own discretion. People you voice your opinion to may have a different opinion than you. This should not be taken personally.
Get to know your congress and understand who you are dealing with. Taking steps to secure digital encryption will ensure we have a safe, digital environment where everyone can be safe.
Disclaimer: I am responsible for my content only. This post is for the discussion of the EARN IT Act and digital encryption only. All suggestions made to contact congress are for recommendation purposes only.
