FBI Wants Authority To Filter Net Backbone

Dionysius, God of Wine and Leaf, writes "There are places where criminal activity is centralized: the backbone hubs located in hosting facilities across the country. All of the Internet's activity, legal and illegal, flows through these 'choke points,' and the feds, of course, are already tapping those points and siphoning off data. What Mueller wants is the legal authority to comb through the backbone data, which is already being siphoned off by the NSA, in order to look for illegal activity."

Bullshit. The government is already involved too much, but the underlying cause of the problem is the in-secure windows machines.

It is *BY DESIGN* that windows machines are in-secure, in order for the fascist darkside to take over.

The have created a problem, and now they want to 'manage' the solution. The oldest trick known to man.

You're the one who can't resist the opportunity to misconstrue what someone else says. Brush up on your ability to detect irony.
