Mozilla, EFF Oppose Bill Targeting Big Tech Platform Piracy

Congress should reject bipartisan legislation that would authorize the Library of Congress to designate mandatory technical measures for online platforms combating piracy (see 2203180069), advocates said Monday. Mozilla, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Fight for the Future, Creative Commons, Freedom of the Press Foundation and others signed a letter from about 3,000 creators accompanied by 6,300 petition signatures. The Strengthening Measures to Advance Rights Technologies (Smart) Copyright Act (S-3880) would result in automated censorship and surveillance back doors for ISPs and storage services like Dropbox, they said.
