    S.1199 - STOP CSAM Act of 2023

    This is currently in Congress. The intent is to kill end to end encryption in the United States under the pretense of child safety. If you are in the states, contact your local Congressional representative and tell them to vote against the bill.

    I’m surprised there is not more organization against it.

        No worries, the lucky few of us living in the UK are facing the same thing, just under a different name – ‘The Investigatory Powers Act’. Don’t you just love surveillance under the pretence of doing something just?

          I honestly wonder if Germany would do this. The Germans have always been heavily for data privacy and foreign companies usually hate working with us, due to the German data privacy laws.

            They will do it and then their constitutional court will declare it unconstitutional and then they will do it again. Basically game of the last 2 decades. eventually they’ll manage to stuff the court

      Wouldn’t this also kill every legitimate use of VPN? Like, what every fucking company uses between sites, for remote workers, etc?
