When will the senate judiciary committee bring up the EARN IT ACT? Do you know if the house plans to bring up the EARN IT ACT AND HOW LIKELY WILL IT BECOME LAW? 3 questions

Can Senator Wyden of Oregon put a block on the EARN IT act once it comes to the senate floor. If Senator Wyden can, how long can the block last before the senate can override the block?

Quick question, President Trump’s USMCA bill kept most of the 1996 internet law in tact expect sadly it includes SESTA. If EFF and the ACLU fire lawsuits against the EARN IT ACT and fail, could Google or Twitter bring up an investor dispute with the WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION? Is it possible for EFF to do so should they decide to file lawsuits against the EARN IT ACT?

Hi Dreadlord64 it depends on what the final product of the bill looks like. Usually and thankfully there watered down, PROTESTS ALWAYS HELP EFF. Perhaps Senator Chris Danes of Montana or Senator Wyden of Oregon will be amendments to the Earn it act bill. Those 2 one Democrat and One Republican are more familiar with how the internet works especially on encryption. Thatis why on the ground protests like Fight for the future and Demand Progress does are very important even if they pass the EARN IT and I think there is hope now with the USMCA trade bill that we can reverse this EARN IT act even if it becomes law but will have to put pressure on Google and Apple to file lawsuits first and then bring up an investor dispute, I think that how these trade deals work. Anyway keep fight, even if they win we may be able to water down the bill because big internet companies do need encryption. That is my take, sorry EFF
