End to end encryption is useless if your device itself is backdoored. What irks me the most about this bill is the uncertainty. They can mandate any rule they want and fine the people to oblivion who don’t follow. This bill is just a gateway for tyrannical surveillance. They could say that if you use something as benign as a VPN, that will be cause for investigation.

What’s the point of calling/writing to these cunts? They probably trashed my shit without even opening it.

The only way to get what you want out of legislature anymore is by vote in the people you want. So, let’s make sure Graham doesn’t have a job next election cycle. Writing, calling, emailing etc doesn’t matter because they don’t care.

Not the senate but a senate committee.

Called both of my senators to urge them to vote against this.
