A look at the reaction to Apple's E2EE news: the FBI is “deeply concerned” and says the change “hinders” its work while the EFF and others applaud the feature

Apple yesterday announced that end-to-end encryption is coming to even more sensitive types of iCloud data …

Apple plans to launch Advanced Data Protection, offering E2EE on iCloud backups, Notes, Photos, and more, in the US in 2022 and globally including China in 2023

‘Advanced Data Protection’ will offer end-to-end encryption on iCloud backups, Notes, Photos and other services—a step that may draw ire from law enforcement

Now I'm out on vacation for the rest of the week, so that leaked EU CSAM draft regulation will just have to wait. But I'm sure it'll reinforce my current mood that US/EU exceptionalism ("by definition we're always the good guys, so total surveillance is fine") is a mortal danger

Leaked proposal: the European Union plans to release a draft law this week that requires tech companies to scan for CSAM and threatens end-to-end encryption

Brussels is bracing for one of its biggest and most emotional tech fights yet as companies face stringent new rules to clamp down on sexual abuse material.

There it is: #EARNITAct's sponsor wants to ensure state prosecutors & civil plaintiffs can sue tech companies for offering strong encryption to protect user privacy & security. It's always been about punishing encryption. Now, as his bill heads into markup, he's admitting it. https://twitter.com/...

The Senate Judiciary Committee advances the EARN IT Act, targeting Section 230 sexual exploitation content protections, despite numerous free speech concerns

Russell Brandom / The Verge :

Note that if #EARNITAct wasn't a scanning mandate, it would be easy to put a disclaimer in it (like the existing CSAM reporting law has) that says “this is not a scanning mandate.” It doesn't say that. It used to originally, but it got taken out the *last* time they marked it up.

Senator Blumenthal admits the EARN IT Act won't “offer a blanket exemption to using encryption as evidence”, after denying for two years it targets encryption

Senator Richard Blumenthal has now admitted that EARN IT is targeting encryption, something he denied for two years, and then just out and said it.

Blumenthal just now: “It's not about encryption. That is a gigantic red herring.” Blumenthal to the WaPo: https://twitter.com/...

Russell Brandom / The Verge :

@TonyaJoRiley It's pure cowardice to use this sneaky backhanded way of punishing encryption instead of introducing a bill that overtly does so. Regulating encryption is a highly contentious issue - but instead of face that controversy head-on, @SenBlumenthal uses children as his shield.

In addition to being quoted in the WaPo article above, I'm in @TonyaJoRiley's piece today on #EARNITAct's serious issues, talking about its 4th Amendment problem: the risk that this bill will backfire and let CSAM offenders walk free. https://www.cyberscoop.com/...

Note: Durbin (also a cosponsor) tried to get Graham & Blumenthal to say clearly that #EARNITAct doesn't impose a scanning mandate (as a CYA measure re its 4th Am problems). Graham said & Blumenthal agreed that *this* bill doesn't say that, but the *next* bill they bring will. 0_o

I wrote up why the reintroduced #EARNITAct is worse than ever. There are links to my many, many previous writings on this topic. There's a run-down of why it's so harmful. There's a table of the ways it doesn't help. https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/ ...

The UK has a combo of (1) culturally, a longstanding lurid preoccupation with harm to children that borders on the unseemly and (2) politically, the goal of achieving total surveillance. Those things are intermingling here, the latest salvo in the UK govt's obsessive war on E2EE. https://twitter.com/...
