We might need a huge leak to open people’s eyes.

  The only leak I can imagine impacting this would be a giant dump of politician’s personal communications and they are exempt from encryption bans in this particular bill.

    IDK there are powerful people in society aside from politicians that can influence public opinion too.

      Very good point. I should think more deeply before commenting and not rush out off-the-cuff remarks.

      Well it'll still be a start. A very good one I think

  Tons of data leaks all the time but surprisingly nothing seems to happen with it. Not only are companies not being held liable, but for some reason nobody is weaponizing that leaked data either. Imagine framing somebody with manipulated leak data, nobody even questions if it was ever real in the first place!

    It's a software problem, nothing we can do about it. For leaks the hackers are always to blame, never the poor security of the companies.

      > It's a software problem, nothing we can do about it. there can be standards/requirements developed how to handle important data, and it will harden system.

        but enforcing those standards takes away from muh freedoms

          Using up to date software with all known patches applied, and encrypt all data using some approved OSS infra(I am not expert on this, so not sure what it would be) takes only from freedom of negligence.
