Tech Giants Hit by NSA Spying Slam Encryption Backdoors (zdnet.com)
A coalition of Silicon Valley tech giants has doubled down on its criticism of encryption backdoors following a proposal that would give law enforcement access to locked and encrypted devices. From a report: The group, which focuses on efforts to reform government surveillance, said in a statement that it continues to advocate for strong encryption, and decried attempts to undermine the technology. "Recent reports have described new proposals to engineer vulnerabilities into devices and services -- but they appear to suffer from the same technical and design concerns that security researchers have identified for years," the statement read. The renewed criticism follows a lengthy Wired article, in which former Microsoft software chief Ray Ozzie proposed a new spin on key escrow. Device encryption has hampered police investigations, and law enforcement officials have pushed tech companies to fix the problem -- even by way of suing them.
The FBI wiretapped Trump and associates for a year into his presidency, illegally.
Why do you think politicians will be immune? It appears they are the TARGET of this kind of thing. Also, if you are a lawyer for Trump your offices will be raided and client attorney privilege doesn't mean anything. The Senate was targeted by the NSA during Obama's administration so he could figure out if they would vote for his Iran deal and if he should bring it up as a treaty or do it via EO, no charges were brought against Clapper/Brenen for that.
So you claim this is the upcoming fight, I claim the fight is over and you already lost. All of this illegal activity from the FBI has yet to have a SINGLE person charged with anything. Everyone knows it happened, Comey has blatently admitted to breaking the law to spy on Trump (of course he thinks its legal because he was the FBI director).
Fight is over, they break the law and are not held accountable.
Trump is the greatest president since Lincoln, that's why liberal undesirables hate him so much, they would rather have another Obama Muslim type in office wrecking and ruining freedom and liberty.
