That's a fairly decent representation of the facts. What is most concerning is summed up in the last sentence, "...we can only hope that a more consistent approach to privacy might prevail in the future." I have no faith in this government to come up with something that would increase the protections around personal privacy, online or not.JustSomeOldGuy wrote:OK, from another point of view....

I've been an avid user of various encryption technologies, so I'm watching the far more dubious efforts to dismantle that closely as it is being openly attacked. The passage of these bills, as stated, only stopped one effort to increase privacy protections, we've effectively not lost anything, though it doesn't remove the sting much. The attack on encryption has far worse consequences with minimal rewards, and no, the pros do not even come close to justifying the cons.
