U.S. Tries to Make It Easier to Wiretap the Internet

Basically, the Obama administration is preparing a bill that would require all encrypted internet communication to have back doors allowing the government to decrypt it. Here's the article.

• Communications services that encrypt messages must have a way to unscramble them.
  
  
• Foreign-based providers that do business inside the United States must install a domestic office capable of performing intercepts.
  
  
• Developers of software that enables peer-to-peer communication must redesign their service to allow interception.
  

Encryption that can be decrypted by a third party is no encryption. If the government can decrypt it, so can anyone else. Do you like managing your bank account or credit card online or making purchases securely on Amazon? Too bad.
