I don't really understand what about the bill is distinctly bad for encryption. Reading the Library of Congress summary, it's mostly just creating a body to draft guidelines. It seems like it's mostly just Congress punting the issue over to the executive branch, so there aren't any actual guidelines to oppose yet.

If the whims of the executive decide what laws we abide by, it’ll be an ever-changing landscape used to harass political opponents, various racial groups, and whomever are the current administration’s less-desirables.
