Ok, but given the starting premise, "what's a pledge that we can coerce companies into signing?", what would you shoot for, instead?

To me, the bit where companies would need to agree to not implement backdoors into encryption protocols is actually pretty meaningful. You know that the evil shitfuck companies like Palantir are not going to sign on with that clause in place, but they weren't going to listen, anyways.

If Facebook signs on, though, it could actually be a toothy, verifiable commitment.
