Well I hadn't heard of this so thanks for the info!
I don't think it'll fly.They already tried (more or less) such a scheme years ago with the "Clipper Chip"

and it was the consensus of the U.S. public that such practices were against our right to privacy laws and so forth.

I think this is even more outrageous.And not only that it might enter into the areas of law that limit monopolies and so forth.
I hope we are not that stupid!(But sometimes I wonder!)

Here's some other stuff along the lines of such in U.S. :
