Au Sénat, républicains et démocrates soutiennent un amendement liberticide. Le schéma est classique : sous prétexte de lutter contre la pédopornographie, il rend responsable l’intermédiaire d’une communication chiffrée de bout en bout.
The EARN IT act turns Section 230 protection into a hypocritical bargaining chip. At a high level, what the bill proposes is a system where companies have to earn Section 230 protection by following a set of designed-by-committee “best practices” that are extraordinarily unlikely to allow end-to-end encryption. Anyone who doesn’t comply with these recommendations will lose their Section 230 protection.
