                                                                            https://www.americanscientist.org/article/cypherpunks-write-code

This was swiftly followed, in early 1991, by a proposed piece of U.S. Senate legislation that would force electronic communications service providers to hand over peopleโ€™s personal data. (The key clause, S.266, was pushed by the then chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Joe Biden.)"
                                                                            "On learning of Bidenโ€™s S.266 clause, Zimmermann feverishly set out to complete the project, almost losing his house in the process. When he finished his software in 1991, he published it all online, free for anyone who wanted to use it. He called it โ€œPretty Good Privacy,โ€ or PGP for short, and within weeks it had been downloaded and shared by thousands of people around the world. โ€œBefore PGP, there was no way for two ordinary people to communicate over long distances without the risk of interception,โ€ said Zimmermann in a later interview. โ€œNot by phone, not by FedEx, not by fax.โ€ It remains the most widely used form of email encryption to this day."
                                                                            Joe Biden's first panopticon bill:

It is the sense of Congress that providers of electronic communications services and manufacturers of electronic communications service equipment shall ensure that communications systems permit the government to obtain the plain text contents of voice, data, and other communications when appropriately authorized by law."
