I was trying to figure out what exactly this bill says. I encourage people look for themselves.

It is utterly and completely incomprehensible and it offers little to no technical definitions of what exactly they want. There is a complete absence of technical concrete definitions of what they want and the memoranda seem to be highly conflicted. It reads as if some lawyers watched Mr. Robot and used it as inspiration for their creative writing paper that was due the next day.

Edit: this appears to signal the true intent of the bill

It all seems to be one giant five eyes power play to make their jobs easier.
