I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure nobody can be remotely attacked, Firefox and IE don't allow remote web pages to access local resources so stuff like <img src="C:\$MFT\blah.png"> won't work on a remote page.

Ransomware

Looks like ransomware https://twitter.com/asystoly/status/863027172453351424 , let's wait and see how they spin this into a "complex zero-day state-sponsored attack"

I really hope if this does come to pass then tech companies refuse to comply.

Politicians rely on the fact that not enough of the general public know the nuances of why E2E encryption (or any encryption) is needed.

So let's see them deal with the public reaction if Facebook/Twitter etc. threaten to pull services, who do you think the public will side with, the sites who they basically spend their entire life of or 'The Government'?

You'll have to put the riot police on standby if you threaten to take away people's beloved Facebook.
