It's not strictly necessary to break encryption. That was a point I was trying to make in my remarks.
The concern is that by having the power to install devices into systems, there are many ways you can get around encryption without breaking the technical standard. Adjusting the order-making power so it could never have the effect of circumventing encryption, that would do some work on that front.
Also, we're extremely concerned about this metadata retention requirement. There's just nothing like this in any other comparable democracy. It needs to go entirely.
