Not just vapers, everyone.

They're trying to ban artificial candy flavoring, but only if used for ejuice.. it's like banning bread but only if used for tunafish sandwiches because of mercury fears.

This is a complete waste of the government's resources and virtually impossible to actually enforce.

Edit: I feel it's important to add, don't use candy flavoring. Though I feel many will return to this should the bans continue.

Link to the current text of the bill (this should have been included in your post, imo):

These are the types of statements many people may have problems with:

The EARN IT Act is an unconstitutional attempt to undermine encryption services that protect our free speech and security online. It's bad. Really bad.

A much more accurate statement:

What best practices, you ask? Well, those aren't actually specified in the EARN IT Act. They could include breaking encryption through digital backdoors, or de-anonymizing VPN traffic.

Not that the government wouldn't likely use the bill for exactly that, but your opening statement states it as though breaking encryption is the meat of the bill.

Don't get me wrong, I see the potential for abuse, but hyperbole is maybe a bad idea here.

The OP opened the door, didn't they?

If you want to know more about this dangerous law, online privacy, or digital rights in general, just ask!

Thank you, you should include the reuters (or similar) article in your original post.

We love sources, that's a pretty relevant one!
