As Congress continues work to strengthen digital governance and consumer protections, we are concerned about potential unintended consequences that the App Store Freedom Act (ASFA) may present for marginalized users already facing elevated digital risks.

Encryption is crucial to the global digital economy. If online services cannot use strong technical protection mechanisms like encryption, users of those services would not be able to trust that their sensitive data, including financial and health information, is safe from bad actors. Unfortunately, policymakers around the world continue to seek to undermine encryption through requirements to introduce backdoors into encrypted services despite ample evidence, like the Salt Typhoon attacks in late 2024, that backdoors always compromise security.
That is why ACT has taken the lead in developing the Global Statement on the Role of Encryption in Securing Trust and Enabling the Digital Economy. Co-signed by 61 organizations representing businesses, users, privacy advocates, and others from around the world, the statement calls on all parts of the digital ecosystem to stand together to ensure that strong encryption can continue to facilitate the digital economy.
