ha ha ha, good luck with that.

remember when the US tried to do something similar with the Clipper chip in the 90s? good times.


might as well ban the internet while you're at it.


That means no HTTPS, no online banking, no secure communication.

I say that law has zero chance of surviving, or if it goes through it will be shut down within a month until some high profile politician's private emails get leaked.


I would imagine that there would be an exception for government officials.
