...did you even read my post?
yes, i read the EFF's article. they are known to exaggerate claims or use FUD to make a point. read better writeups (likr citizen lab). read the bill itself.
the bill doesnt describe backdoors to any encryption as far as i could see (granted i only skimmed), only data sharing with less bureaucracy, and increased surveillance of whatever the provider can already see
mom on facebook is susceptible; but your vpn isnt required to compromise your encryption
