Show Notes

"Make no mistake: the EARN IT Act is a vehicle to undermine end-to-end encryption." - Elliot Harmon

A very important episode on a topic that people need to be aware of. There is a bill in Congress, one of the continuous attempts for the past 25 or so years, that will create enormous collateral damage to our freedom of speech, and privacy online. Not to mention putting the many abuses of surveillances capitalism on steroids. An excellent article from the EFF breaks it all down.

"The price of liberty is eternal vigilance." - Thomas Jefferson
