• EARN-IT act

    Look out! A global pandemic is a perfect opportunity to try and slip some unsavory legislation through - this one is called the EARN IT act.

    It's a bipartisan bill that tries to change the nature of Section 230 provisions for online sites, to make sites "earn" their status through self- policing. With strong end-to-end encryption, certification would be impossible.

    No one seems to have a good idea of what certification would look like.

    The Verge and Protocol have good analyses of the bill.
