I think threatening to ban all secure communication in a psychotic unrealistic policy position and having important &quot;serious&quot; people like the director of the FBI push for it isn&#x27;t really intended to get it codified into law, rather to elicit responses like yours -- it&#x27;s designed to massively push the Overton window against privacy so that we can feel okay about how bad things currently are -- at least the insane unrealistic threats that were thrown around weren&#x27;t followed through.
