> How are those two objectives not in conflict? A. The government wants all your data available to them. B. The government does not want all your data available to the public. A != B Edit: Not to come off as rude, I just tend to agree. If you want to say that in that sense, the government is being hypocritical, perhaps that's true. At the same time, though, their goal here is (hopefully) to keep your data safe from outsiders, whereas we can "trust" them to be good with the data they backdoor from companies ;)
