Putting aside the question of what use breakable #encryption would be, what other services "communicate using virtually unbreakable encryption" (if they're doing their job properly)? Banking, insurance, health care, schools, etc. Who would benefit if these services had to use breakable encryption? The same corporate #Datafarmers they think they're regulating, as well as #IdentityThieves and other fraudsters.
