TL;DR: Graham (R-South Carolina), Blumenthal (D-Connecticut), Hawley (R-Missouri) Dianne Feinstein (D-China) introducing a bill that adds sweeping powers over tech companies to regulate content online and mandate state backdoors.
What do you think about this regulation? They say it is to stop 'child exploitation', but the regulation seems to basically mandate government backdoors into any messaging platform. I don't see how giving the state such sweeping powers to remove all end-to-end encryption is justified in the hopes of reducing images of child exploitation on a handfull of private chats / websites.
That and Feinstein (D-China) and Blumenthal working on it also raises several big red flags. Since Trump has the senate, is there not more we should be doing to prevent this from flying under the radar with the whole COVID-19 memes, or do more people actually agree with this legislation?

Graham is compromised. And Feinstein is a traitor. This is a automatic nope for me
Graham has always been compromised. Swamp creature needing to be flushed. 'For the children" is liberal speak.
Agreed. Remember when Obama wanted to restrict our 2nd Amendment rights because "If wwe can save just one child'? This is an attack on encryption dressed as Tickle-Me Elmo. Bad policy.
If Graham, Feinstein, and Blumenthal are involved, it’s evil.
Yeah this is why it's just one to many bad omens and just seems like they're trying to see what regulation they can slip in while attention is elsewhere.
Feinstein (D-China) Lmao
I would suggest that these august Senators first legislate taking all requirements for ssh and https OFF of DoD sites as a beta test. After the squawking settles down, they might be changing their minds...
"ssh - http OFF of DoD sights as a beta test. Would you explain what this means? I'm not sure.
