MODERATORS
This is a temporary reprieve rather than a victory. The wording of the bill hasn't changed, they've simply added the statement that what they want to do isn't technically possible yet but when it is, this'll be revived.
That encryption can have a backdoor for "the good guys" to use but never the bad guys? I guess this is defeated then.
