Here's an Idea

Maybe we need to convince Americans that Encryption is like a gun (maybe by calling it something like WEAPON (Website Ecryption to Add protection On the iNternet)). And that every american (website) needs to have a WEAPON to defend itself.

And since it's all about the protection offered by your gun, sorry WEAPON, and not about the having the biggest shiniest thing on the market, then we could be sure that every American website would suddenly implement the biggest strongest WEAPON it could have.

Then we can convince the Courts that the second amendment was really talking about online WEAPON's as well, and we can kill off the FBI's and NSA's attempt to back door and destroy encryption. We all win!

Get to it my American friends! Get to it!
