S.1829

There is going to be a hearing on several bills in the Senate including S.1829 June 5th. Like other bills meant to protect children online, S.1829 as written does more harm then good. This hearing is believed to be a markup hearing, so use the information below to call the Senate Judiciary Committee. When you call make sure you emphasize the threat Trump poses is such a bill were to pass, especially to the Democratic members. Make sure to call between now and June 5th.

Call To Action: The Stop CSAM Act, S. 1829

As always, the powers that seek to take our privacy and safety from us look to get the jump on us and give us little time to prepare. Which is why we now have a new call to action.

This thursday, 6/5/2025, the Senate Judiciary Committee will be holding a meeting for a possible markup on S. 1829, the Stop CSAM Act.

Once again, the bill's good intentions and emotion-grabbing title are yet another Trojan Horse for a bill that would seek to peel back privacy and protections for citizens under the guise of a noble cause. This bill's intent, supposedly to create further accountability and make internet services have further accountability, is masked by the potential harms it can do.

As this bill intends to cause damage to the currently assailed Section 230 by carving out an exemption for allowing lawsuits against services which might host this type of content (redundant as Section 230 already does not cover things that are a federal crime), and attacks privacy by destroying the coverage of end to end encryption in online services which offer DMs and messages like WhatsApp, Facetime, Signal, and others. Making them ripe pickings for anyone who might want to hack into and access peoples' private messages. Especially in the current political climate where the President wants to create a database on US Citizens and privacy protections are being tested more and more.

I urge you to call and write the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee before this Thursday, to warn them of the dangers of this bill and urge them to not allow it to pass through committee.

Tell them to vote NO on S. 1829

It shouldn't be against the law to provide an encrypted app. But if the STOP CSAM Act passes, it would make it a crime to offer encryption, because it could "facilitate" the sharing of illegal child abuse material (CSAM)—even if there's no evidence that a platform or service intended to do so. The law would undermine digital security for all internet users, impacting private messaging and email app providers, social media platforms, cloud storage providers, and many other internet intermediaries and online services.

Free speech would also be at risk. STOP CSAM would create a carveout in Section 230, the law that protects our online speech, exposing platforms to civil lawsuits for merely hosting a platform where part of the illegal conduct occurred. This carveout is similar to the disastrous SESTA-FOSTA law, which passed in 2018, and immediately resulted in companies removing online content and spaces for discussion in order to protect themselves from potential liability.

Congress already has tools in place to remove CSAM from the internet: current law prohibits the distribution of CSAM, and since 2008, providers have faced large fines if they fail to report CSAM after receiving actual knowledge of its presence on their platforms. Yet we know of no case where the federal government has ever enforced this provision. Congress must not pass this broad and dangerous law, and instead must use the tools that are already in place rather than outlawing important encrypted services.

Tell Congress: don't pass this law that would undermine security and free speech online.

as per usual, extremely stress-inducing important things happen while i should've been trying to relax.

to make a long story short, the stop csam act will be voted on tomorrow. reminder that this is a markup, but i can't be sure anymore. either way, if you haven't called them yet, please do so. thank you.
