Please don't use whataboutism. If it was already agreed there would be no bill. Just because our forefathers succumbed to the scare tactics, fake news, logical fallacies, propaganda and plain old whataboutism does not mean we must also do so. The people, society, law makers, whatever made their decisions and it is incredibly hard to undo them. I would love say today, hey you know what, it was worth while having law enforcement be given access in the past but in light of their abuse re Snowden et al, maybe it's time to roll some of this back. Because you know, the rewards no longer justify the means. But you know what? That just isn't a workable option. Now with that said, for the bill I question, It does not just plainly follow that we must make the same mistakes. We have hindsight and should take advantage of that fact, not just squander it.
