New Bill Would Require Companies to Decrypt Data on Demand

Russell Brandom:

If the bill becomes law, Apple and other companies will have a much harder time resisting similar legal demands. Essentially any hard encryption — that is, encryption that cannot be broken by the company providing it — would be in violation of the proposed measures, presenting a massive problem for a broad range of tech companies.

I did not expect to see a bill this quickly. Quite frankly, I expected people to be intelligent and not even try to pass this sort of garbage.

My bad.
