Nice
Long story short: dear god please stop voting for republicans. Anti Net Neutrality, anti privacy, anti data security. A backdoor for the government is a backdoor for anyone - we've seen how well the government protects its secrets.
Get better people into the political areana and have term limits.
And who has our government gone after? Repuplicans. There are no Democrats under the microscope, Every day there is more litigation against trump or any of his allies. The only ones taking our freedom of privacy and our right to free speech is the democratic media establishment and left leaning judges.
The question is not what will happen if they destroy end-to-end encryption. The question is why they want to end it?
Seems to me it's a classic double bind. The government has a legitimate need to control crime and people have a similar right to privacy. The question boils down to whether or not one trusts their government with this kind of power. I'll leave it up to you to decide if that's a good idea.... My own view is nope. Not even close.
Privacy of one’s conversation is an inalienable right just as freedom of speech and religion. This bill is a travesty to our freedoms and should enrage all voters. Call your congressmen or congresswomen and let them know how many few votes they will have next time around. Call or write to President Trump and express your view. A bill of this nature should never be left unnoticed and should never make it to the Presidents desk. It’s sickening and swampy.
I will buy this comment when tech companies actually start caring about our freedom of speech. If it is ok to shut down the speech of those you disagree with and deplatform them then we never cared about rights to begin with.
Even tho it is an invasion of privacy, at this time and climate they need to be ever vigilant on the growing chances of terrorism here in America and around the world. I believe that our government now is on the forefront of cyber security and are not wasting time on what doesnt red flag a check on someone. This President regardless of how you feel abouit him is a proffesional who wants to protect his rights to privacy also, thats why it's imperative that we keep him in office and get back to the integrity we expect from out govenment. which is made up of politicians who are bought and sold everyday. When it's time to replace him. I hope we choose someone with outstanding credibility and common sense. Obama led a lawless regime for 8 years. Filled with spying on us and abuse of power going after the Right and their supporters, and then the now President. Its a big swamp and a deep one at that. I'm for unmasking when it really is relevent and counts. There needs to be more that one signature to open up that information and should be BiPartisan to say the least.
no rate limit!
no+rate+limit!
The only way to satisfy both sides of the argument is to give individual users the option to OPT IN or OPT OUT. Otherwise it's just a blanket rule without any personal choice in the matter. We already have this with data usage but that will become obsolete if backdoors are allowed to exist. And frankly, backdoors will just create more fake data.
Every time someone does something they don't like. They want to punish everyone with loaded laws. These people break their own laws and treat the public like property. If we as a people don't stand up and take back our power from big government, and get the corporations out of the government. Then the civil war they are looking for will happen. The thing is. They bank on the Sheeple to stay asleep. These politicians have no idea how close they are to being wanted themselves. We as a people out number them. And if they keep pushing the public to give up their rights. Not even the Military will keep them safe. No politician, nor any foriegn leader will be safe if they don't back off. The warning signs are being ignored by them. And they don't know how viscious the sleeping beast is. Like it was said on the movie "Shaft". Mess with the bull, you get the horn. Well, speaking for myself. I'm no sheep, and I don't follow Sheeple. They always use lame excuses to take away our Natural Rights. Screw the rules, laws, etc. these people use to manipulate the people. It is our Natural Right not to be enslaved in any facet. The time is coming when the elites will be running to hide under their rocks. They are destroying free will and messing with everyone's livelyhood. Those two things alone warrant and validates the push back needed to take the elites down. They have to be stopped or they will destroy us all along with the planet they seem to enjoy poluting and destroying. Time to take back our freedom. Liberty is an ideology created by the 0.001% of the population. Wake up. They don't care about us. So why are we complying with tyranny, dictatorships and totalitarianism. It's beyond time for us to stand up for ourselves. "They" will not stop until this planet is all theirs and no one is alive except who they chose. If you can't comprehend legalese or read the subliminal messages these so called elites provide for us. Then you fit into the group of people they consider useless eaters. Wake up people. The time is now to defend your life and future. Otherwise move over and let the people who care about the USA to stand up for our freedom. You can't liberate without freedom. So we must secure our freedom, because they took it from us with a pen and paper, and they continue to do so up to this very minute. It's not about anything you see or hear on the news. It's about genocide and gentrification of the planet. Prove me wrong.
Has anyone bothered to look up the etymology of the word Government, Governance. If not do so. When you are done. Ask yourself this and look for the answer. "What is the difference between Slavery and Governance aka Government? Hint: The answer is in the diffenitions of the etymology of the two words. Do your own research. Why? It is like this. We spend time telling our children to never trust strangers. Yet, we do the opposite and do what they say on top of it. I guess critical thinking is almost dead. Prove me wrong.
People! Stop asking your oppressor to stop oppressing you. It's stupid. If you want to know why civics isn't taught in school anymore. Look at all the crazy crap coming from the people you know have lost their minds. (i.e. Joe Biden) These old men and women have been in their offices for over 30+ yrs. In those 30+ yrs. What have they done for the people? Why do they keep making laws that take away our freedoms if, The First Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” I guess American's don't comprehend English anymore. Can I blame this travesty on "The Prussian Educations System" aka Public School aka Indoctrination Centers for the compliant and mentally enslaved? Can I?
if privacy is no longer allowed, I would suggest we publicly publish the private information of congressmen, senators, etc. specifically credit cards, birth dates, SSN, bank accounts and see how they like it!
We want your private data to assist with ... "national security"...it sounds like a movie plot featuring a much more evil version of Walter Peck from Ghostbusters. Figures the government would want to have access to all of that information. Have we not all forgotten all the other "breaches" they have been involved with (PRISM, HEART-BLEED, etc). We all know they would not use this only for law enforcement. Too bad this is not a more major issue on today's ballots.
nice post. Steve Mnuchin and the Trump administration have already taken over and have full access to your crypto-currency to “stop the money-launderers”. They know everything you are buying or selling and can close or take over your account at any time. They have full access to your bank accounts.
