Warrants are required for U.S. Mail. Likewise, the government should not have warrantless access to all electronic communication. It's an outrageous position.

Could this bill be the result of the recent court decision blocking gov work with social media companies?
I would not be surprised if the DEA was already working with tech companies and this bill is to get around the court and make the collaboration legal.
This doesn't target E2EE - that's the whole point of E2EE. It does target everyone else, though.

The only way you could think this bill targets end-to-end encryption is if you only read the terrible headline and didn't bother to read the actual bill. Before you freak out about paragraph 4, be sure to look at paragraphs 1-3.

That's doesn't sound like a 4th amendment violation or anything.
