U.S. is working to ease wiretaps on the Internet and consequently, losing capabilities to track criminal suspects.
The article refers to this as "going dark." Congress wants the government to have access to any communication that goes on over the Internet.
The Obama administration is for it, but this raises privacy issues. and the U.S. feels they need to set a good example for the rest of the world.
This would make the Internet function the same way telephones used to function. This is my paraphrasing a quotation that I thought summed up the article very well.
