I suspect that this law is just codifying something they already do.
read this hours ago.
Already on a flight out.
good luck :)
I have no doubt they already do this.
Exactly. We already know they do so. It's been highlighted over and over again. Now they just want to make it "legal".
I concur. If they want to read your e-mail, wouldn’t it just be easier to get a copy from the NSA?

They’ve been reading emails for a long time.
In 1998 I was discussing encryption with a buddy about 30 miles away, so we went to a website in Sweden and downloaded a copy of PGP. After that, we each installed it and exchanged public keys, we sent one email. The email was short and basically said, “So this is encrypted email. Cool.” Within 16 hours we each received emails from the FBI stating that encryption systems from foreign sources were illegal and that we should remove them from our systems.
Definitely, Snowden’s leaks proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
That’s exactly what I was going to say.
