"OUR government would never abuse surveillance powers, trust me bro!"
From the perspective of a systems analyst and admin here on p.d:
to me this looks like a poor attempt by some instance admins trying to harvest their user's data by requiring a backdoor to everyone's computer

Ah, that things they'll do to "keep you safe."
This could never be misused... No possible way.
Trust us. It’s for your own good.
It’s okay everybody understands computers now. I mean, they must because they use them all day every day right. So this will obviously not be a problem.
