I had to get a background check for my job, and it turns out the report is a 300+ page pdf of every single tweet I’ve ever liked with the work “fuck” in it. Enjoy your dystopian bs! *waves*

Over the last 25 years, while law enforcement was off complaining about encryption, we've LITERALLY BUILT A SOCIETY THAT'S DEPENDENT ON IT. We absolutely cannot afford to scare service providers away from providing it themselves or allowing it over-the-top of their own services.

My son spent weeks saving up for a 144hz gaming monitor. I thought he was nuts until I filmed it in slow motion. (You can see 60hz lights flickering for reference.)pic.twitter.com/pWbnHd24kG

Christ, the EARN IT Act is just so brain-breakingly stupid. It would allow the AG to write "best practices" making providers legally liable for offering end-to-end encryption. OK, well, what's to stop people from separately encrypting data and *then* transmitting it?

As we are laying out in a paper I’ve been tinkering with for months, I think detection of known CSAM on E2EE will not have as positive a ratio of impact to privacy risk as other mitigations aimed at abuses where the victim is part of the conversation.

15. “Let’s build encryption systems that are somehow compatible with (currently well-intentioned) mass surveillance, and hand them over to politicians who have displayed no consistent principles in seeking this capability” does not feel like the winning move in this game. //END

14. It is really hard for me to look at this kind of legislation (and the underlying, constantly shifting law enforcement strategy) and say “yes, these people are working with good intent to solve a problem, let’s make things easier for them.”

13. This thread has been long and I want to end it on a different note. There are a number of thoughtful people, including notably
@alexstamos, who feel that tech providers need to work harder to find ways to square this circle: ie allow encryption and CSAM detection to co-exist.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
12. The commission has to consider privacy and security. But that consideration is all they’re required to do. And even if they do recommend encryption: the AG can just override whatever they decide. And those problems are the tip of the iceberg. https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2020/01/earn-it-act-how-ban-end-end-encryption-without-actually-banning-it …

11. In short, the bill establishes an unelected comission, which must consist of “4 law enforcement reps, 4 tech industry reps, 2 reps of child safety organizations, and 2 computer scientists/software engineering experts”. They’ll decide what the best practices are.

10. The basic strategy of this law is to make providers (Apple, Facebook, Google etc.) criminally liable for CSAM, unless they comply with a set of “recommended best practices” for detecting the stuff. But who determines those practices, and is encryption one of them?pic.twitter.com/w47LGT2AAJ

9. All of this has just been a prelude to describing the new proposed legislation
@Riana_Crypto discusses. This legislation is being introduced by Senators Graham and Blumenthal, and it reads like a “backdoor” attempt to squash end-to-end encryption. https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2020/01/earn-it-act-how-ban-end-end-encryption-without-actually-banning-it …Show this threadThanks.

8. Technically, the request is also a radical new ask. Previously, law enforcement wanted “exceptional access” — meaning only occasionally would they need to decrypt things. But CSAM scanning can’t be “exceptional”. It has to scan every single image you send.

7. I am *deeply* skeptical of Barr’s motivation here. After several years of opposing encryption on very different grounds (criminals, terrorists) and asking for access only with a warrant, suddenly making a hard right turn and saying “think about the children” — feels cynical.

6. End-to-end encryption disrupts this CSAM scanning process, because, well, let’s be honest, these scanners are a mass surveillance system — one with a specific (well-meaning) intent — and end-to-end encryption is designed to *stop* mass surveillance.
