@eff The US makes clear that it's fine with End to End encryption, as long as it can listen in on at least one of those ends.

Next time you think "end to end encryption" at least think about who's controlling those ends. You're not controlling one of them, and soon you may not control the other either. So you're doing E2E encryption... but to what end?

The sponsors of the EARN IT Act and the STOP CSAM Act have made it clear they want to surveil user messages. We can still stop these bills, if there’s enough public pushback. The Senate is listening. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/dangerous-earn-it-bill-advances-out-committee-several-senators-offer-objections

Dangerous EARN IT Bill Advances Out of Committee, but Several Senators Offer Objections

Last week, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted, for a third time, to advance the dangerous EARN IT bill (S. 1207)—a law that could lead to suspicionless scans of every online message, photo, and hosted file.In the name of fighting crime, the EARN IT Act treats all internet users like we should be...

You asked for it, and it’s coming. Quote posts, search, and groups are on their way. In the meantime, check out the new onboarding experience launching today. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/05/a-new-onboarding-experience-on-mastodon/

A new onboarding experience on Mastodon

Today we’re making signing up on Mastodon easier than ever before. We understand that deciding which Mastodon service provider to kick off your experience with can be confusing. We know this is a completely new concept for many people, since traditionally the platform and the service provider are one and the same. This choice is what makes Mastodon different from existing social networks, but it also presents a unique onboarding challenge. To make this step easier, we now have a default sign-up option that works with a server we operate. If you wish to leave or join a different server, you can do so at any time.

I need your help…

NPR is leaving Twitter but they are planning to focus on Instagram

We need to tell them to join the Fediverse

Many of their journalists’ accounts, as well as their main account, haven’t been active on mastodon. Tell them how much we need them here. (In fact, they should have their own instance)

Use the link, tell NPR we are waiting for them here and spread the word far and wide:

Privacy for all should be a goal—but the UK's Online Safety Bill would undermine privacy for everyone. It could also make the problem of child safety worse, not better. Tell the UK’s House of Lords to protect end-to-end encryption and privacy in the bill: https://act.eff.org/action/tell-the-uk-s-house-of-lords-protect-end-to-end-encryption-in-the-online-safety-bill-9245a4fd-8ae0-4e46-a90c-ad64f743837e

Tell the UK’s House of Lords: Protect End-to-End Encryption in the Online Safety Bill

The UK government has had years to revise its Online Safety Bill into a proposal that wouldn’t harm users’ basic rights. It has failed to do so. As drafted, the Bill undermines end-to-end encryption and would make UK businesses and individuals less safe online—including the very groups that the bill intends to protect. Proposals like this threaten a basic human right: our right to have a private conversation. We know that several members are on the fence about this issue. Please help by telling them to protect encryption.
