Protect Encryption: Support H.R. 2508, the ENCRYPT Act

I’m writing to ask you to support and cosponsor the ENCRYPT Act (H.R. 2508). The bill would prevent states from requiring technology companies to weaken encryption or build in ways for government agencies to access protected information, and would help ensure people can use encrypted products and services nationwide. Strong encryption helps protect ordinary people’s messages, devices, and personal information from criminals and other unauthorized access. Creating a special way into secure products can put everyone who uses them at greater risk. The Electronic Frontier Foundation supports the ENCRYPT Act, arguing that state-by-state restrictions could leave people with unequal access to strong encryption depending on where they live. Please stand up for the security of your constituents’ digital communications and support this bipartisan effort by cosponsoring H.R. 2508. Thank you for your time and for considering my request.
