Not surreal at all. It's exactly what everyone in the cryptography communuty said would happen if people listened to the government and added backdoors for the "good guys".

Hope this sort of thing keeps happening. I want more concrete examples to cite when people defend this stupidity. I want the governments of the world to be too embarrassed to talk about cryptography ever again, least of all demand backdoors into private infrastructure.

They won't. You'll have lists and lists and lists, and they'll just say "you live in a society, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy", and then expect you replace your walls with glass on your house.

They're too far gone if they still believe "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" so openly.

Everyone think the key will be leaked / mis-used. Nobody think it would be changed by other group without noticing.
