The EARN IT act is not really to prevent online child exploitation. It can't be. Because this act will push the people involved in those practices underground to places that cannot be censored like Tor.

In fact, the EARN IT act puts children directly in danger.

When evidence of child exploitation is pushed out of the regular internet, it becomes much harder to discover and prosecute.

Do you have any experience in investigating online child sexual offences?

I am just wondering what basis you are making claims like "the EARN IT act puts children directly in danger".
