MarsGov writes "The FCC released an order yesterday that requires all broadband providers and all "interconnected" VoIP providers to implement CALEA — in other words, law enforcement can snoop on your online conversations, both voice and text. While this is no surprise, it makes encryption for VoIP even more urgent."

    Wow. I tend to be more afraid of people who actually wish to do harm to me or others. It's too bad you find ideas to be more threatening than acts of violence. I'm afraid you're doomed to a life of fear. There are relatively few people in this world who would wish you harm, but it will always be easy to find people you disagree with.
