Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Or in a fear-mongering post even if from a well-intentioned redditor.

Using strong encryption is NOT being made illegal.
Caring about your privacy is NOT being made illegal.

Below is the actual text of the change to Rule 41. Seriously. This is ALL there is to this entire debacle.
Yes. It does suck. Yes. It expands the US government's surveillance power. But we need to stay sane right now. It's already done, and we need to separate the TRUTH from FICTION.
Without further ado, the changes that were made to Rule 41:
(6) a magistrate judge with authority in any district where activities related to a crime may have occurred has authority to issue a warrant to use remote access to search electronic storage media and to seize or copy electronically stored information located within or outside that district if: (A) the district where the media or information is located has been concealed through technological means; or (B) in an investigation of a violation of 18 U.S.C. ยง 1030(a)(5), the media are protected computers that have been damaged without authorization and are located in five or more districts.
For a warrant to use remote access to search electronic storage media and seize or copy electronically stored information, the officer must make reasonable efforts to serve a copy of the warrant on the person whose property was searched or whose information was seized or copied. Service may be accomplished by any means, including electronic means, reasonably calculated to reach that person.
