Actually Mike, There is a fundamental base problem that no one is talking about.
There is a fundamental base problem that absolutely no one is talking about when the backdoor discussion comes up. It is one of trust. The citizens shouldn't trust the govt, and for good reason. But... alternatively, the Govt doesn't trust the citizens either.
First the Govt side, they don't trust us is apparent with San Bernadino, Charleston, etc. They cannot trust us to not do something terrible.
Alternatively, We are stating that backdoors Cannot work because of two reasons, 1) some teenage highschool hacker can (and will) find it and use it, which will lead to more of the former statement. But more importantly, and less discussed, is 2) How can we trust our Govt to be "The Good Guys"? As evident with the LOVEINT debacle. And *ANY* calls for transparency will be met with deaf ears, when FOIA's will be 10 years late, and 90% redacted.
The reason I say this is that they fail to see WHY Netflix is so popular as opposed to their own services, sure $60-$200/month for a limited selection is a big part, but it's that limited selection IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY that is also at least an equal part.
An example (as an American) is if I want to watch some Icelandic comedy, say Næturvaktin, I HAVE to pirate or stream it from a non-official source as it is STILL in production, 9 YEARS after it was first made. I can only guess that it's worse in other "non-rich countries" (read as: Not America)
"It’s bad enough the FCC keeps moving the goal posts on their definition of broadband"
Just like the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, keeps moving the goal posts on vehicle regulations. I mean, TECHNICALLY a Ford Model T *IS* an automobile, but would you, could you use it for everyday commute to work?
"apparently so they can continue to justify intervening in obviously competitive markets"
James Comey wants to undermine encryption to "fight terrorism". My question should be, by enforcing said backdoors, can he be liable for aiding and abetting criminal activities and sympathetic actions to terrorists?

Does this mean that playboy is going after all the NSFW images of the Mario franchise? Pretty sure a) That's impossible because internet, and b) Nintendo would like to have a word with them.
these laws are unenforceable due to the nature of social networking sites and programs.
first off, EVERY social network (be it Twitter, Facebook, and MMO's [yes, MMO's are a social network in that you interact with other people]) has a clause in their ToS that you cannot nor should not in any circumstances give out your password or account information, and that admins of said network will never ask you for it. This is because of two reasons, 1) It severely undermines network security and the security of the users. and 2) It is against the law in the US for anyone to access another persons account on social networking sites (I believe under the CFAA and by extension Patriot act).

Just my two cents.
