🚨 Digital risk: Florida’s SB 868 is a wrecking ball aimed at encrypted communication 🔐💣 Oh, Florida. 🤦🏻‍♂️

This proposed legislation would:
📵 Ban disappearing messages
🛑 Force platforms to break end-to-end encryption
🔓 Grant unrestricted parental + law enforcement access to private DMs
⚠️ Override Florida’s own two-party consent laws

Why it matters:
• Any “backdoor” for law enforcement becomes a vulnerability for everyone
• Teens need encryption too — for safety, support, and crisis communication
• Existing investigative tools already allow lawful access when needed

This bill doesn’t protect children — it weakens the privacy and safety of every user. And if it passes in Florida, it could become a model for nationwide surveillance creep.

🛡️ Encryption protects all of us. Break it for some, and you break it for everyone.

Florida’s Anti-Encryption Bill Is a Wrecking Ball to Privacy. There's Still Time to Stop It.

We've seen plenty of bad tech bills in recent years, often cloaked in vague language about "online safety." But Florida’s SB 868 doesn’t even pretend to be subtle: the state wants a backdoor into encrypted platforms if minors use them, and for law enforcement to have easy access to your messages....
