EFF @EFF

“Technical solutions for political and economic problems are always imperfect," says @EFF ‘s Jon Callas. A US-backed VPN strategy for Cubans to access the internet is “extraordinarily well intentioned” but “overly simplistic.” https://t.co/Cjo45Y2tOT — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Congress should not create legal preferences for one particular type of cryptocurrency model. The Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment, which has the backing of civil society groups including EFF, avoids these problems while protecting all software developers and miners. (8/8) — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

There are also emerging forms of verification, such as proof of space-time or proof of storage, plus future forms of transaction verification, that could be fruitful alternatives to proof-of-work, which is often criticized. (7/8) — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Alternatives include proof-of-stake, which allows network participants to offer up a small amount of cryptocurrency as collateral to engage in verifying transactions. (6/8) — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Calling out proof-of-work in the amendment would disadvantage existing verification alternatives and potentially chill innovative new verification models. (5/8) — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

It thus limits the carveout to a subset of software developers and establishes a legal preference for a particular type of cryptocurrency verification. (4/8) — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Sens. Warner & Portman’s amendment only carves out proof-of-work miners and those creating software or hardware wallets so that users can manage their own cryptocurrency. (3/8) — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

New cryptocurrency regulations should not reach those who merely write and publish code. Nor should they give preference to any current technology over others. The amendment offered by Sens. Warner & Portman fails both of these core principles. https://t.co/HVT9rLqPA2 (2/8) — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

EFF opposes an amendment to the cryptocurrency provision of the infrastructure bill by Sens. Warner & Portman. It fails to protect software developers & is not technologically neutral. We urge Congress to pass Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment instead: https://t.co/C2lhpxESge (1/8) — PolitiTweet.org

Just as a good hacker sees worlds of possibility in plastic, metal, and pixels, we must envision and work for a future that's better than what we're given. Will you help us get there? https://t.co/zz9xS3Yrqc https://t.co/k6wGItuHPB — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, when the tech companies are facing off against the largest rightsholders, it's users who most often lose. Twitter is only the latest target, we hope they become the one to stand up for its users. https://t.co/wgBvUnEXnl — PolitiTweet.org

“By mandating filters, users are subjected to automated decision making and potentially harmful profiling,” says EFF's @davidgreene. “This has a chilling effect on speech and undermines the freedom to receive impartial information." https://t.co/CO4s6wikKC — PolitiTweet.org

Citizen's "Protect" plan would enable users to contact a special service whenever they feel threatened. Actively inserting itself between emergency responders and users who think they are in a crisis situation is a terrible idea, says EFF's @JGKelley https://t.co/y37Ag5ppXV — PolitiTweet.org

Apple's filtering of iMessage and iCloud is not a slippery slope to backdoors that suppress speech and make our communications less secure. We’re already there: this is a fully-built system just waiting for external pressure to make the slightest change. https://t.co/f2nv062t2n — PolitiTweet.org

“Built into the marketing strategy of this company is a wink and a nod saying: Police, if you help us market this device to consumers, you will get a perk, that perk being more surveillance that you would not have access to otherwise.” -EFF's @mguariglia https://t.co/tBPB1WaSbL — PolitiTweet.org
