gollark: Psst: they aren't real!
gollark: *they say, on social media*
gollark: In this case, basically "undermine security and provide data to the government".
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.
