Oppose EARN IT Act - Email Your Representative!

Hey everyone,The EARN IT Act in the USA Congress poses an immediate and existential threat to crypto and blockchain in the USA, and indeed the world since the Five Eyes (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States) are likely to enact similar legislation which effectively bans end-to-end encryption. This Act intends to give these governments backdoors into encryption so they can essentially spy on your messages and everything. Since crypto relies heavily on strong encryption, you can believe that this bill would hurt the blockchain and crypto industry in the USA.Privacy coin advocates should in particular be aware of this bill.The disgusting thing about this bill is that it pretends to be a child protection bill, but we all know that Congress doesn't give a shit about kids. They are just using that as a smokescreen to further erode personal freedoms and privacy that encryption affords normal people.Please take the time to write your congressman (Senators and Representative) if you live in the USA, and if not, send them an email anyway telling them that you oppose this bill.https://ift.tt/3aCcXsz can find your senators and representatives at the above link. You can even copy and paste this pre-written message below:​Dear Sir / Madam,I'm writing you to express my strong opposition to the EARN IT Act.
