You can't honestly believe this. Even if one agrees with making some things open protocols, potentialy by law (messenger, social networks), stating "it's trivial" to do such a thing is just the height of hyperbole.
I’m afraid some people really do seem to believe this. Hard to understand, I know. Fixed, regulator defined protocols everyone would be forced to use. Sheesh.
