Yeah the ones in EU and UK are kinda fresh, but if I remember correctly, the ones in the US went through different iterations through many years, and keep coming back. There’s also a new-ish one in the US as well I think.

The STOP CSAM Act would put security and free speech at risk by potentially making it a crime to offer encryption.
