When they have made no serious attempts to stop him up to now, why would you think they would start doing so in November ?

Apology accepted.
My argument is that pervasive surveillance is one of probably only two options the tech-bros have left for the law-makers.
The other option I can see, would be to regulate cryptography like other "dangerous" technologies such as weapons, electricity and cars, with licensing, compliance, certification and most likely mandatory key-retention to respond to court orders.
Both are utterly horrible results, but that's what you get for not reading Clausewitz.

You should leave to me to express my opinions, because you utterly suck at doing it: I have said nothing of the sort.

Again, what I, as EU citizen take home from this, was that it took mere hours for PædoPOTUS Rex to throw the spanner in the works, and that it was not blindlingly obvious to everybody, including the enforcers at the border, that it had to come out again.

I think everybody is "for privacy", but the point is that encryption offers "absolute privacy" and that is fundamentally incompatible with a society of laws and justice, because crimes are crimes and anonomity cannot be a "get out of jail" card.

3.The only thing worse than generalizing from one example is generalizing from no examples at all.
(Phil Karlton)
4.If a problem is not completely understood, it is probably best to provide no solution at all.
5.If you can get 90 percent of the desired effect for 10 percent of the work, use the simpler solution.

May I recommend "Gettys' Rules" from the X11 manuals ?
1.Do not add new functionality unless an implementor cannot complete a real application without it.
2.It is as important to decide what a system is not as to decide what it is. Do not serve all the world's needs; rather, make the system extensible so that additional needs can be met in an upwardly compatible fashion.
