Obama Administration Argues For Backdoors In Personal Electronics
mi writes Attorney General Eric Holder called it is "worrisome" that tech companies are providing default encryption on consumer electronics, adding that locking authorities out of being able to access the contents of devices puts children at risk. “It is fully possible to permit law enforcement to do its job while still adequately protecting personal privacy,” Holder said at a conference on child sexual abuse, according to a text of his prepared remarks. “When a child is in danger, law enforcement needs to be able to take every legally available step to quickly find and protect the child and to stop those that abuse children. It is worrisome to see companies thwarting our ability to do so.”
The Bill of Rights was was written by 18th century terrorists and c***d molesters. It would never pass congress today.
>It's one thing to defend the US from outside dangers. It's quite another to regard the citizens themselves as the danger.
Some of the citizens are crazy and really are a danger to us. Have you not noticed how the deranged right-wingers, who circled the wagons around a cluster of toxic behaviours and absurd beliefs, have been stockpiling guns and publicly fantasizing about overthrowing our democratically elected government?
The backward "conservatives" can't win elections outside of our derpy states, so they hoard guns and plan a revolution. Of course there's nothing actually conservative about these radical theocrats who want to remake America in their idiotic image. Do you not want the government to keep an eye on this crazed, violent, uneducated subculture?
