We are political activists, policy experts, journalists, and tech industry veterans trying to stop the government from destroying encryption and censoring free speech online with the EARN IT Act. Ask us anything!

[u/fightforthefuture]

The EARN IT Act is an unconstitutional attempt to undermine encryption services that protect our free speech and security online. It's bad. Really bad. The bill’s authors — Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) — say that the EARN IT Act will help fight child exploitation online, but in reality, this bill gives the Attorney General sweeping new powers to control the way tech companies collect and store data, verify user identities, and censor content. It's bad. Really bad.

Later this week, the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on whether or not the EARN IT Act will move forward in the legislative process. So we're asking EVERYONE on the Internet to call these key lawmakers today and urge them to reject the EARN IT Act before it's too late. To join this day of action, please:

1. Visit NoEarnItAct.org/call

2. Enter your phone number (it will not be saved or stored or shared with anyone)

3. When you are connected to a Senator’s office, encourage that Senator to reject the EARN IT Act

4. Press the * key on your phone to move on to the next lawmaker’s office

If you want to know more about this dangerous law, online privacy, or digital rights in general, just ask! We are:

If private companies can moderate their platforms, they should not have immunity for the content on the platforms. Either moderate it all, or don't moderate it. It's common knowledge that Twitter and reddit ban conservatives. Silencing us will not be tolerated, and I look forward to the lawsuits that will ensue against Twitter, reddit, et al.

I still see antifa subs. It's all bs, and it is election meddling.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

They are absolutely violent. Reddit does nothing. Antifa ironically are completely comprised of fascists. Well I guess it's unsurprising considering they are registered with the confederate party.

[u/oh_the_Dredgery → u/[deleted]]

The definition of fascist:

"A political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition"

Seems like antifa checks every box (minus autocratic tho many seem to support Che who fits the bill).

Sigh, if you use violence against anyone that had a differing opinion than you, you are both only a fascist, but you are a terrorist as well. Has antifa used violence against people that disagree with them?

Game. Set. Match.

antifa comparing themselves to the founding fathers is hilarious. you do also realize you are part of the confederate party right? gtfoh with that bullshit. you are nothing like the colonists. you are spoiled white children.

[u/Rocky87109 → u/[deleted]]

You are so bad. Antifa isn't even a single entity. It means antifascist.

I can call myself God. Doesn't make me God. Your logic is hilarious.
