A lot of this shit won't matter if the Earn It Act goes through.
Call your representatives and let them know that privacy is a right not to be trifled with.
This isn't entirely true.
The Earn It Act is terrible, but much like a ban on 3D printed guns it is entirely unenforceable. We can, should and will resist it.
The encryption cat is out of the bag. Various open source tools will remain available and hosted outside the US.
End to end encryption will remain viable.
Unenforcable? It just depends on what pops up AFTER the act goes into effect. Those who refuse to bend the knee will be okay but for how long?
