If it has any chance of passing, it could very much cripple the tech sector in the US and make us less competitive.

On the other side of the coin, this is not going to stop individuals from using encryption that isn't broken. It would be ugly to see what it does in commercial spaces, and to your average citizen whose data is less protected. I think it would force a knowledgeable subcommunity further into the shadows while everything else burns.

You replied to my comment but you didn’t even read the bill.

Read the amendments, they specifically outline that the scope of this bill will not impact encryption laws (which they added specifically because of all the fear-mongering brought by the companies that stand to lose from this bill).

There is nothing in this bill worth having. What exactly are you supporting here?

I have to admit, I like the look of that amendment.

That said, I also liked the look of the part in the ACA where Medicare Part D would be allowed to bargain for drug prices. Pity it wound up on the cutting room floor while I wasn't watching. I wonder how that happened?

I apologize, I didn't see the amendment. I did respond out of anger from the encryption standpoint.

I still don't like that for a number of other reasons safe harbor can be tossed aside
