Voting record

In 2019, Dollar voted in favor of the controversial Georgia House Bill 481[5]

In 2018, Dollar voted for cuts to Georgia personal and business tax rates and is quoting as saying: “I have never, and will never, vote for a tax increase.” [6]

In 2017, Dollar sponsored legislation intended to limit annual tuition increases at University System of Georgia (USG) institutions. The bill died in committee.[7] In the same year Dollar sponsored a bill to provide tax benefits on royalty income for musicians, intended to promote the music industry in Georgia. This bill also died in committee.[8]

If you have that but without the "invisible" bit, that would work as "encryption with a backdoor, but then make it very obvious that the backdoor has been used" somewhat.
gollark: Not encryption itself, probably.
gollark: They don't seem to want to *ban* end-to-end encryption as much as backdoor the popularly used stuff. Which is still bad. I should finish writing that blog post on it some time this decade.
gollark: It's probably with consent to the extent that *any* social media apps do, i.e. "the long incomprehensible privacy policy says we can".
