We now officially live in the world of "The Onion." "Don't give me that crap about security, just put the backdoors in the encryption." -US Attorney General William Barr

So it looks like some people in the USA are trying to turn us into Australia, particularly US Attorney General William Barr.

The other day I read an article that I thought was for sure ripped straight out of The Onion, but lo and behold, it was now. It was real life actual news . . .

The article in question can be read here: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/23/us_encryption_backdoor/

Just read the article. You will probably immediately puke in your own lap or onto your keyboard if you care about privacy in the least bit. This guy practically wants a key to your brain that he can use in a warrantless situation, but big corporations and governmental employees are exempt from it.

Seriously, read the article. This guy has got to go and so does this mode of thinking in government.

I am disgusted.

Sort:  

Agreed, he is a total piece of shit. Let him show us his texts, emails and calls but I forgot, everyone except the military and goverment must have their info offered on a plate to them but not them.
Holy shit dude, politicians and people who have power are shitheads. Not just in America but everywhere around the world!
I can tell him what time I take my shit so he can come and watch!

For sure, fully agreed man. Australia is setting a VEEERY bad example with their encryption laws and expectations. If the USA starts acting like that, that's a very bad sign for the world. It's impossible to enforce, but just the idea itself is messed up, it's disgusting, we aren't cattle.

So who would you rather want been in the government, when they are basically all the same.

Yeah, they're mainly all crooks and corrupt dirty players. I'd rather have almost anyone else as long as they respect an individuals god-given rights. Encroachment into an individual's personal life is inexcusable. We have a right to privacy, on all levels.

TBH, I think there are lots of people like him in the government. Politicians cannot be trusted.

Oh there definitely are, but they're more snake-like. This guy is just a blatant piece of shit and cutting to the chase. The others will try to be slick . . .

I my own thinking, slick people are most dangerous.

I definitely agree with that. Pure evil.
