⚠️ Here's info that paints the urgency around the internet bills.
There is a minimum of 36 hours between passing from subcommittee to when it can be voted on in committee. It sounds like they are trying to slam it through.
Call your reps!

The Committee on Energy and Commerce is the oldest standing legislative committee in the U.S. House of Representatives and is vested with the broadest jurisdiction of any congressional authorizing committee.
🚨⚠️ URGENT ‼️ Congress is pushing through 18 bills that could age-gate and censor the internet as we speak.
Call the House Energy and Commerce committee + your own representatives and tell them you OPPOSE these efforts!

Safety matters—but so do privacy, access to information, and the fundamental rights of all users. We urge the Commission to avoid endorsing disproportionate, one-size-fits-all technical solutions. Instead, we recommend user-empowering approaches.

Tell Congress: Don't Outlaw Encrypted Applications
if the #STOPCSAM,…could bring criminal charges for offering encryption, because it could "facilitate" the sharing…even if there's no evidence that a platform or service intended to do so…empower private lawsuits against encrypted services for “hosting or storing” this material even if the provider had no way of knowing or stopping it from being shared.
#Encryption protects all of us…spreading CSAM is already illegal!
I feel @lauren is spot on when parties from BOTH sides of the aisle are trying for the same goals: Censorship, police state, the end of anonymity, etc. https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@lauren/111851647475164095

Basically, both parties in Congress -- and legislators in both blue and red states -- want to turn the Internet into a China-style police state, where all activity is tracked and tied to government IDs. Even if you trust one party not to abuse this, imagine when the other party gets into power! All of this is being leveraged on a "protect the children" basis where the legislative demands would be ineffective at preventing children from accessing the materials of concern, trample on the rights of adults to use the Net, and actually expose children to more risks from abusive parents. That's the bottom line.
JCA-NETは下記の共同書簡の署名者になりました。
(共同書簡)#表現の自由 と#プライバシー を脅かす#STOPCSAM 法
説明：STOP CSAM法は米国で検討されている法案です。表向きの理由は子どもの性的搾取や虐待を防止するためのオンライン規制の法案とされていますが、下記の書簡にあるように、#暗号化 を弱体化させ、#リプロダクティブライツ や#LGBTQ+ などマイノリティグループの締め出しや広範囲にわたるコンテンツの監視を強化するという隠された意図も指摘されています。
暗号はオンラインのコミュニケーションを第三者から守る最後の砦といってもよいものです。しかし、暗号化を弱体化させて、プラットフォーム企業による監視や検閲を促し、捜査機関などにより多くの権限を与えようとする動きはこのSTOP CSAM法だけではありません。英国ではオンライン安全法が成立し、EUでも同様の趣旨の「チャットコントロール」の法制の動きが活発になっています。日本も例外ではありません。この意味でもこの書簡に注目していただければと思います。
And speaking of "Stop CSAM", it won't actually stop CSAM. Here's how EFF describes it
"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."
