Graham Pushes Legislation to Allow Government to Read All Your Phone Texts, Emails and Dms:

People don’t want outsiders reading their private messages —not their physical mail, not their texts, not their DMs, nothing. It’s a clear and obvious point, but one place it doesn’t seem to have reached is the U.S. Senate.
A group of lawmakers led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have re-introduced the EARN IT Act, an incredibly unpopular bill from 2020 that was dropped in the face of overwhelming opposition. Let’s be clear: the new EARN IT Act would pave the way for a massive new surveillance system, run by private companies, that would roll back some of the most important privacy and security features in technology used by people around the globe. It’s a framework for private actors to scan every message sent online and report violations to law enforcement. And it might not stop there. The EARN IT Act could ensure that anything hosted online—backups, websites, cloud photos, and more—is scanned.
New Internet Rules, From Juneau to Jackson
The bill empowers every U.S. state or territory to create sweeping new Internet regulations, by stripping away the critical legal protections for websites and apps that currently prevent such a free-for-all—specifically, Section 230. The states will be allowed to pass whatever type of law they want to hold private companies liable, as long as they somehow relate their new rules to online child abuse.
The goal is to get states to pass laws that will punish companies when they deploy end-to-end encryption, or offer other encrypted services. This includes messaging services like WhatsApp, Signal, and iMessage, as well as web hosts like Amazon Web Services. We know that EARN IT aims to spread the use of tools to scan against law enforcement databases because the bill’s sponsors have said so. In a “Myths and Facts” document distributed by the bill’s proponents, it even names the government-approved software that they could mandate (PhotoDNA, a Microsoft program with an API that reports directly to law enforcement databases).
U.S Senate Considering Criminal Investigations for Innocent Gun Owners?
U.S Senate Considering Criminal Investigations for Innocent Gun Owners?
Washington, DC –(Ammoland.com)-S. 675, the NICS Denial Notification Act of 2021, is gaining traction in the U.S. Senate.
We urgently need your help to shut this gun control bill down!
The NICS Denial Notification Act would open criminal investigations into 100% of background check denials, even though government studies show 9 out of 10 times these denials are false positives. Passage of this language would result in criminal investigations into TENS OF THOUSANDS of innocent, law-abiding Americans for the non-crime of being denied a gun purchase by a broken background check system each year.
Tell your Senators right away NOT to expand this abysmally broken system.
Who is behind this?
If you’re from Illinois, Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, or West Virginia, your Senator is a part of the problem here!
Here is a full list of the Senators who openly support opening criminal investigations into innocent Americans over false-positive NICS denials:
Sen. Coons, Christopher A. (D-DE)
Sen. Cornyn, John (R-TX)
Sen. Duckworth, Tammy (D-IL)
Sen. Rubio, Marco (R-FL)
Sen. Carper, Thomas R. (D-DE)
Sen. Lankford, James (R-OK)
Sen. Klobuchar, Amy (D-MN)
Sen. Collins, Susan M. (R-ME)
Sen. Manchin, Joe, III (D-WV)
Sen. Toomey, Patrick (R-PA)
Sen. Graham, Lindsey (R-SC)
Sen. Shaheen, Jeanne (D-NH)
Sen. Grassley, Chuck (R-IA)
Sen. Leahy, Patrick J. (D-VT)
Sen. Blumenthal, Richard (D-CT)
Sen. Murkowski, Lisa (R-AK)
Sen. Durbin, Richard J. (D-IL)
If any one of these Senators is yours, they will get an extra scolding from our action alert! If one or more of your Senators is not already a co-sponsor, then it is essential that you send them a warning before this legislation picks up any more steam.
