Do you have five minutes to help us tell Congress not to ruin encryption, privacy, and free speech? We’ve made it clear that these #BadInternetBills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/you-can-help-stop-these-bad-internet-bills
You Can Help Stop These Bad Internet Bills

Red alert! For the last six months, EFF, our supporters, and dozens of other groups have been sounding the alarm about several #BadInternetBills that have been put forward in Congress. We’ve made it clear that these bills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation.

@eff @lisamelton Is there a general term for the recurring stupidity of politics? We have the "garbage can" theory in administration theory on why bad ideas keep coming back. But that doesn't explain why ultimately stupid dumbfuck ideas keep coming back.
It's a desinformation campaign by government actors recurring over and over again.

@eff @lisamelton I am inconsistent I see. Garbage can theory explains why ideas that are not approved come back over and over again. They can both be quality ideas or dumb ideas.
