#USA #Cybersecurity #Encryption #EarnItAct #StopCSAMAct "When bad things don’t happen, there is no news. This is the paradox of encryption. Because it’s impossible to count “prevented harms,” we can’t put a number on the vast number of children encryption has protected. But we know that it does. Like that seatbelt we buckle our child into, encryption does such a good job of keeping all of us safe that we take it for granted.
Child exploitation of any kind is heinous, and it’s reasonable that societies want to find ways to solve it. They turn to the authorities to do that. The lawmakers behind these bills say they want to protect children, but they’re weakening the tools that do just that. Unfortunately, their proposals put all of us at risk—and they take away our ability to protect our own kids."
