Do they still want to make a skeleton key for the internet and entrust it to the same people who couldn't protect the database containing secrets from their own background checks and who argue with a straight face that xkeyscore didn't count as a search under the 4th Amendment?

No, this bill never did that and the updates make it explicit that it will not do this. Read the bill.


They did, last time I RTFB. I do not consider your summaries to be made in good faith.

This might just make me angry enough to burn another perfectly good evening on it. We'll see.


Read the goddamn bill, it’s pretty short.


By congressional standards, and at a given point of time.

It's not short when measured by the time required to keep up with it.



It's not really 112 pages. It looks like it's struck-through until the end of page 65. And it's in 16pt font. The toughest part is getting through the legalese.
