On at least 12 occasions since 1990, law enforcement threatened journalists with jail or home confinement for refusing to give up their sources; some reporters served months in jail. That should never happen again. Tell Congress to pass the PRESS Act. https://act.eff.org/action/tell-congress-to-pass-the-press-act-now

  Tell Congress To Pass the PRESS Act Now
  
  from @eff
  
  The Protect Reporters from Exploitive State Spying (PRESS) Act is a long overdue federal shield law that provides protections to journalists against government surveillance and forced disclosure of confidential sources. Journalists shouldn’t be forced to choose between protecting their confidential sources or going to prison. But the reality is that both Democratic and Republican administrations have secretly subpoenaed reporters’ emails and phone records to hunt down their sources. That chills essential newsgathering and whistleblowing, and it needs to stop now.

  @eff any country doing this should be declared a dictatorial regime ' de facto '. We have enough candidates today!
  #Journalism it is the best example of why end-to-end #encryption matters.

  @eff
  Thank you for your post.
  The lookup app on the site locates a rep not correct for my address.
