⚠️ 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!

🚨⚠️ 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!

Proteger a menores en internet es importante, pero no a costa de eliminar el cifrado o vigilar a todos. La ley #STOPCSAM pone en riesgo derechos fundamentales. 🔗 https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/protecting-minors-online-must-not-come-cost-privacy-and-free-expression?language=es

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!
-
Proposed bills like #STOPCSAM, #EARNIT and #KOSA threaten our fundamental rights online & our safety by strongly incentivizing online services to use content-filtering tools + undermine #encryption guarantees in order to mitigate harms to young people.

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."

CW: Bad Internet Bills week of action (US-focused, activism)
@eff says it's a "red alert". July 28 is the last day Congress is in session before their summer recess, which means supporters of #BadInternetBills are trying to sneak them through before then. So digital rights, human rights, and LGBTQIA2S+ groups are fighting back with a Week of Action.
Please help get the word out!
One easy thing to do: check out the #BadInternetBills hashtag and boost posts you see there.
Can the Fediverse Help Stop Bad Internet Bills? has more on why #KOSA, #EARNIT, #STOPCSAM, and the other bad internet bills are so bad -- including the threats to encryption and the harms they'll cause to LGBTQIA2S+ people -- and ways you can help.
And if you're a US resident, @fight has a handy page that makes it easy to contact Congress about the bills at https://badinternetbills.com
Or, if you prefer, EFF's page also has inks to pages that make it easy to contact Congress.
See the replies for more information about the individual bills -- and I'll update this thread over the course of the week as new information becomes available.

URGENT: WashPo is reporting that there is still an effort to quietly include the dangerous #STOPCSAM Act (this is basically just the #EarnItAct Act under a different name) in the must-pass #NDAA.

CW: re: Bad Internet Bills -- a pair of polls
There are quite a few bad internet bills in the US Congress -- see the parent poll for an overview (https://infosec.exchange/@thenexusofprivacy/110710615592853977
We''re considering doing a #fediverse activism campaign to support the efforts of @team, @eff, and the other organizations trying to sop these bad bills
But is there interest?
This poll's a attempt to find out.
And if you're potentially interested, please boost this or the parent poll!

CW: Bad Internet Bills -- a pair of polls
UPDATE: The post at https://infosec.exchange/@thenexusofprivacy/110748089398932169 has information about more ways you can help stop these bad internet bills.
There are quite a few bad internet bills in the US Congress -- @team has a handy page up at https://badinternetbills.com
The first poll: which of these bills had you heard of before this post?
#EARNIT threatens to undermine online encryption -- and targets sex workers
#KOSA is framed as protecting kids, but it's actually an internet censorship bill -- and would especially put LGBTQIA2S+ kids at risk.
The #RESTRICT Act is supposedly just about TikTok but actually gives Biden (and all future presidents!) extraordinary new powers to ban Americans from using entire apps simply by claiming they pose a “threat to national security."
#StopCSAM, despite its name, wouldn’t actually stop CSAM. Instead, it would make CSAM cases harder to prosecute—like SESTA/FOSTA before it—while reducing privacy protections in ways that would harm vulnerable people. Also, like EARN IT, it would undermine encryption.

Bad news: The #RestrictAct isn't the only bill threatening to end the internet as we know it. There are now 5.
Good news: Fight for the Future has created a single action you can take to prevent them from becoming law. It only takes a couple of minutes. Do it now!

If you are in the US, please contact your Congresspersons and explain why the STOP CSAM Act is unnecessary, and harmful to online privacy and freedom of speech.
"... 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. The law would undermine digital security for all internet users..."

The #STOPCSAM Act would undermine digital security for all internet users. Help us tell Congress to oppose it.

Policymakers want to protect kids online, but legislation that weakens #encryption will put those same kids at risk.
Natalie Campbell and Sebastian Schonfeld outline how the proposed #EarnItAct, #STOPCSAM and other acts in the USA will open the door for more threats online. - https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2023/05/encryption-keeps-kids-safe-online/

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/eff-letter-congress-oppose-earn-it-act-and-stop-csam-act
EFF Take-Action page for the upcoming EARN It act the STOP CSAM act
TL:DR these bills would force everyone's private messages to be scanned, and reported to the government, blanket surveillance of every single message across all platforms without cause, warrant, suspicion, etc.
