It does not require that you assume anything, other than that private and secure information between a government and it's diplomats should remain private and secure.
Also, it doesn't just deal with America, it deals with every country that sent confidential communications with us.
It is like taking away lawyer-client or doctor-patient confidentiality, it means that diplomats now cannot operate effectively, from any country.
