Pfft... are they also planning on making encrypting all of our packets illegal?

As someone who went to Washington to meet with the folks who wrote this garbage, I can confidently say yes. It will be considered a circumvention device when you use a VPN or encryption service to route around the blocks.

No, if a site uses SSL they'll just block the whole thing.

Wasn't there an article 2 days ago saying that law enforcement thinks encryption is "too strong"?
