It&#x27;s a demand for invention, and the legal precedent it sets is that the government can just tell a private company &quot;we tell you what you have to invent, because the law says you have to turn over all information we need.&quot;<p>Except that invention != turning over information.<p>The Justice Department would like to change this, so that complying with the Writs act literally means doing anything they tell you to do.<p>Which is a massive, blatant power grab.
