Subject: [Internet Policy] FYI - Joint statement by 50 orgs on
proposal to require social media passwords at US border
To: Internet Policy External <internetpolicy at elists.isoc.org>

FYI, today the Internet Society joined with 50 other organizations to
issue a joint statement expressing concerns about a proposal to
require disclosure of social media account passwords as a condition of
entry to the U.S.:

https://cdt.org/insight/no-to-dhs-social-media-password-requirement/

We published our own companion statement as a post from our President
and CEO Kathy Brown:

https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/public-policy/2017/02/internet-society-speaks-out-against-proposed-password-disclosure

That has been shared on our @InternetSociety social media channels at:

Additionally, we also published a supporting post explaining more
about why social media accounts are of such a great concern:

https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/tech-matters/2017/02/danger-giving-social-media-passwords-so-many-other-services-are-connected

We will be circulating that on our social channels as well.

Any assistance with amplifying these messages on social channels would
be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Dan
