The legislation would force companies to store and provide law enforcement with access to their users’ communications, including those that are end-to-end encrypted.3 The consensus among cybersecurity experts is that complying with this requirement for end-to-end encrypted communications services will be impossible without forcing providers to create an encryption backdoor4 —akin to a master key that unlocks every door in a building.

Hopefully they don’t pass this devastating legislation. One has to wonder who this would be benefitting the most? I doubt law enforcement even cares that much. My guess is the same that is responsible for Brexit and destroying the US. Resist wile you can, or better yet get the things you care about enshrined in your constitution and advertised among your constituents. Don’t think it can’t happen to you next.
