We read:
"Taking a cue from the authoritarian regimes of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, American law-enforcement and intelligence agencies are seeking to re-engineer the Internet and other digital communications networks to make them easier to spy on.
In the week since the plan became public, it has been roundly condemned by civil liberties groups and security experts — and rightly so.”

This is terrible. Once you create a back door, then anyone who knows about it can attempt to access it. You can ask any of my exes.
This is going to destroy the security on the web and allow more people easier access to destroy all sorts of things online.
I hope I'm wrong, but this could actually spell death for internet commerce.
OhBummer, trying to destroy every aspect of American life no matter how successful it is.
EU has had legislation in place for over a year that requires ISPs to log any and all traffic generated by their users and hand it over to government agents at request, even without a warrant.
In combination with laws banning encryption or allowing only encryption to which government agencies have the decryption keys, this does effectively the same thing, destroying privacy at the whim of a bureaucrat who wants to spy in their neighbours.
Is anyone really surprised that the Marxist-in-Chief would pull this? Once the competition starts to uncover your lies, the only thing left to do is control their ability to get their message (ie: the truth) out. And the only part the Left still doesn't control, is the internet.
