The Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (EARN IT) Act of 2020 is a bill in the U.S. Congress that would regulate encrytion. A bipartisan group of senators, including senators Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, Dianne Feinstein, and Richard Blumenthal, introduced the bill on the 5th of March 2020.[1]

If passed, the bill would create a commission of 15 members, including administration officials and industry experts, to establish best practices for dealing with online content related to child sexual exploitation and abuse. The commission would expect Internet companies to "voluntarily" follow these practices, and the commission would have the power to penalize companies that didn't follow these practices for suppressing such content. For example, section 230 of the Communications Decency Act gives companies immunity from lawsuits arising from the storage and transmission of such content, via their online services, by their clients without the knowledge of the company; but if the society doesn't follow the best practices promulgated by the commission, the company would lose that immunity.[2]

Support[modifier | modifier le code]

Graham says, "This bill is a major first step. For the first time, you will have to earn blanket liability protection when it comes to protecting minors. Our goal is to do this in a balanced way that doesn’t overly inhibit innovation, but forcibly deals with child exploitation."[3] The bill has bi-partisan support from its sponsors and backing from groups like the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the National Center on Sexual Exploitation.[4][2]

Opposition[modifier | modifier le code]

The EARN IT Act has been criticized by free speech groups Electronic Frontier Foundation and American Civil Liberties Union, technology lobbying organization Internet Association, and Internet advocates. They recognized that some of the "best practices" would most likely include a backdoor for law enforcement into any encryption used on the site, in addition to the dismantling of Section 230's approach. Senator Ron Wyden describes the bill as "a transparent and deeply cynical effort by a few well-connected corporations and the Trump administration to use child sexual abuse to their political advantage, the impact to free speech and the security and privacy of every single American be damned."[2][5]
