darkmaian23 09/28/23 8:08:22 AM #1:	A large number of organizations--including the ACLU and EFF--jointly sent a letter to Chuck Schumer on Monday opposing the bill: https://www.aclu.org/documents/coalition-letter-to-leader-schumer-on-opposition-to-stop-csam-act The bill is yet another attempt at sniffling free speech and killing encryption disguised as a way to protect children online. It has been floating around for a while, and neither the letter nor the EFF's coverage of the letter say precisely why they are sending it now. Maybe they are afraid it will be taken up in the spending negotiations? Govtrack currently gives the bill a 39% chance of passing. EARN IT is given a 37% chance of passing. It used to be a great deal lower---don't know if they changed their algorithm or what. It's a great site to track the progress of legislation, but I don't know how accurate the chance of passing given is. Regardless of what the chances actually are, please do take the time to apply pressure to your representatives if you can. --- Cuteness is justice! It's the law. <cite>darkmaian23 posted [p:976352559] in Reminder: ...
