The government wants Signal and Whatsapp to be forced to store messages sent using the apps
- According to Whittaker, the bill requires the encrypted messaging app Signal to install so-called backdoors in the software.

There needs to be a messaging app which provides a backdoor for every government that requests it. Every time some dumbass legislator asks for a super-giga-secure-backdoor they promise not to misuse, they should be directed to that app.
goatse.cx used to work wonderfully for that.
Hello there, fellow Internet old-timer!
Imagine the complexity of the encryption algo with 100 different custom made backdoors!
That's the secret you give them all the same backdoor.
But each of them is special!
You just encrypt it with every key. It's wasteful, but not all that complicated.
At that point, you just don't encrypt things at all.
That sounds like unencrypted communication with extra steps. Why not skip all of that and just give them an unencrypted service anyone can read and use. While we are at it, getting rid of those pesky passwords and unwieldy usernames is also a great idea. What could go wrong... I mean CLEARLY no one has anything to hide...
