Never claimed to hope for the law to pass and that to happen. It was more speculation on what might happen if it did pass.
Regarding them attacking P2P.. IMO they wouldn't be able to attack P2P specifically without attacking encryption in general. There are to many ways to implement P2P using standard encryption technologies. I think they are starting to realize they can't win that fight without losing the larger war and so are attacking privacy from the angles they can get away with. Like corporate interests to avoid lawsuits.
- clusterfish 5y agoThey can certainly, say, ban Apple and Google from hosting such P2P apps in their app stores, then any such apps are useless to most people. They could also go after developers, forcing them to either install backdoors or shut down - see what kind of laws Australia passed about that, as an example. Remember they only care about most people, they don't need to get every last one of us. Their point is to make default methods of communication unencrypted.
