@theverge.space The EARN IT Act is ready for a Senate vote... again.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved the controversial EARN IT Act, an attempt to fight child sexual abuse by adding new conditions to Section 230, and teed it up for a vote on the Senate floor.
Yes, the committee did this once before in 2020, but that version never made it to a final vote — we’re still waiting to see if this version does any better. And civil liberties groups still oppose the bill, saying it could have disastrous implications for queer kids and encryption.
