    For some reason I’m feeling so Amish… Seems like they were so right with technology risks :-)

    It’s not my responsibility to make the FBI’s job (or any cop’s job) easier.

    Also, folks should be using 3rd party open-source encryption, like VeraCrypt and a password manager that encrypts the database, like Keepass. Don’t ever expect governments and corporations to respect your privacy.

        Neither did he last administration and neither will the next. They want us polarized and fighting each other so we don’t fight them.

          How the fuck are people still this clueless. Talk to anyone who is learned on US history and ask them if this is the same as previous administrations.

          That’s like saying that neither tepid bath water nor boiling tea water are “cold.”

            I don’t actually agree that your analogy applies, because it ignores my point.

            Neither “side” (as if there were only a binary choice but that’s how they want you to think) wants you to have privacy. Be united with those who want to fight for those rights instead of divided on other policies which are political smokescreens.

            Maybe a better analogy is that we are drowning in water that is not cold, maybe it’s tepid and maybe its boiling. But arguing over which is worse really doesn’t matter because we’ll be dead in a minute anyway.

              My life would be much worse if I lived through a boiling water bath than if I managed to live through a room temperature bath, so very good analogy.

              The eugenicists running the country have cooked it already so even if we survive it’s still horribly damaged forever.

    fbi want direct access to encrypted data while simultaneously also all data to be encrypted in order to be protected from china?

    do explain how this is all going to work because it’s extremely confusing.

      The explanation is that they will just use this shit to target whomever they please regardless of reason. This is how fascism works.

      It is mean to be confusing. Stop trying to rationalize it, you’re wasting energy.

    any ‘lawful’ access that’s baked-in will also be used and exploited ‘unlawfully’.
