Jesus Christ how staggeringly incompetent is the national government that no tech ceo can find a way to explain to them there is no way to govern content without having access to it via a backdoor, which is to fundamentally break encryption.

Pretty sure they know that it's not possible without breaking encryption. They just want to blame the tech companies because their bill 'doesn't demand it'.
