A new bill called the EARN IT act is currently in senate right now. it's being advertised as a way to 'protect children from explicit content', but the reality of it is that its super dangerous. if it's passed websites like
tumblr, archive of our own, wattpad, twitter ect., will be held legally responsible for the content that it's users put out.
One of those consequences being that anything considered 'dangerous to children' must eliminated or be sued. bc this bill is backed by a queerphobic group, this includes ANY LGBT+ content, education about one's sexuality. if this bill passes then companies will be forced to destroy encryption bc the bill is not specific at all about what it wants moderated. for the record, that's the thing that keeps the government from looking into people's personal DMs, images ect., ect.,
This means people talking about their trauma, being queer, activists for human right's data will be free game. its SUPER dangerous. would you take resources from me to help, or at least spread the word around as much as you can?
