First, I can't see this actually working out they way they want especially with open source software designed to thrwart detection from governments using amongst other things a form of encryption.
Second, I'm betting the US Government has enough sway to get special treatment for American companies.

- troels 11y agoI'm sure there's a secret court somewhere that can make a decision. Of course we would never know.
