Players who have played for Atlanta United 2 this season but have left the club:
22 FW Luiz Fernando 101000
gollark: And it's more significant than that; encrypted stuff is basically, well, half the reason the modern internet works, and backdooring it is impractical *and* bad.
gollark: It was rushed through because of "increased risk of terrorist attacks around Christmas" or something.
gollark: Alternatively they'll just not be based in Australia and hope that nobody notices the lack of backdoors in them.
gollark: I expect they'll be around but backdoored to death.
gollark: `Assistance and Access Bill`, i.e. "ONLY TERRORISTS WANT ENCRYPTION so add backdoors or we'll fine you".
