   Received a reply from Senator Dianne Feinstein.
   
   I understand you are opposed to the [EARN-IT Act of 2020]. which I introduced with Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Josh Hawley (R-MO) on March 5, 2020.
   
   She goes on to say that the bill targets online child sexual exploitation.
   
   Isn't it funny that every time the government wants more power, it is either fighting child porn or terrorism?

     I didn't check, but memory says Senator Feinstein was also a supporter of the #SOPA / #PIPA bills as well as #EARN-IT. I think it is time for her to go.

     The "think about the children" argument. I'm sick of it. Children would be much more secure if their parents would know how to use a bloody computer/internet connection.

     It's easier to appease uninformed people than just being honest.
