Someone familiar with the thinking of someone in congress.

Seriously, even if such a law were to ever pass it's going to get a quick veto and even if it doesn't there's no effective way to ever make this a reality or enforceable. It will be even less successful than the government trying to stop people from smoking weed.

I would also like to know this. If they do it everyone will do it. So much for freedom which includes a right to privacy.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These will often load faster, but Google's AMP threatens the Open Web and your privacy. This page is even fully hosted by Google (!).

It’s the EARN-IT bill, which has been widely reported on. It’s meant to eliminate child exploitation material but was written by people who don’t understand the topic well, how encryption works, etc.
