That’s “texts, DMs, messages, websites, cloud photos” and more.

The organization said the lawmakers pushing the plan include Sen. Richard Blumenthal D-Conn., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
The privacy group said the plan “would pave the way for a massive new surveillance system, run by private companies, that would roll back some of the most important privacy and security features in technology used by people around the globe. It’s a framework for private actors to scan every message sent online and report violations to law enforcement.”
