    Please stop with the Greengrocers' Apostrophe's (sic).
    Please note that this is an act of self-preservation - each time I see this it hurts - please stop :o)

    What about if a company itself does something lawsuit-worthy - who do *you* sue... the CEO personally?

    Exactly. If you are run down by a car because the driver was snorting coke from the dashboard, would you sue the car?

    Nice of Stalin to do thé proof of concept / feasibility study / legwork and capitalism jumps on board when the model had been refined. Embrace and extend!

    To be clear; there is no benefit to the ordinary citizen in defending the horrors perpetrated by their governments; no sense in attempting to state "your leaders are worse than ours therefore all is well or you are prevented from observing our problems"; no sense in trying to pick a squabble on the Internet.

    What does make sense is organising against tyranny. Any force which leads to division is benefiting the minority that are screwing us over and have been screwing us over since people stood upright.

    What is your interest in maintaining the status quo?

    You may choose to reply in a confrontational manner; if so, please state for the record, your reasons for choosing such a course.

    Try to maintain a sense of focus. It's us vs them not them directing us against each other.

    A good reason to coerce people into plea-bargins before their case reaches court.

    Otherwise you would have the situation where police can say that they have evidence against anybody and people then think that this person is automatically guilty and its okay to deprive them of rights or due process.

    Uhh, as in this situation ?

    One can only imagine the future crimes which Snowden will 'commit' after returning to the US - if there's ever a promise by your president to not have him killed for exposing entrenched corruption and hypocrisy.

    At the point you successfully prosecute someone it's another fee-paying customer for Hotel Penitentiary 79 (of which you ate a board member), free labour and an increased chance of future patronage by said customer. Woohoo! Capitalism for the win!

    This is almost almist certainly the point here - the nipping in the bud of the uptake of encryption by the masses. 'Only paedophiles use encryption'.

    'Kiddie porn' would be a great crime to 'suspect someone of" if you'd like the public behind you as you imprison someone without evidence.

  18. Why? Just outsource the decryption to the guys that cracked the iPhone. What's that? You didn't really crack the iPhone or you want to have your cake and eat it?

    Or is this about giving encryption the only-pirates-engage-in-file-sharing treatment?

    Innocent until coerced into self-incrimination. Woohoo! Land of the free.

    It's really handy if parts of your users' lives are currently private.

  20. That would be a tacit admission that Michael Moore was right. No government would allow such a conclusion, not whilst there are still countries operating free of US meddling.

  21. As with all competions; we'll sit here with our five dollars whilst you expend twenty dollars of effort each. We'll take all the good ideas for ourselves and gift the winning team (mysteriously led by my wife's cousin) the five dollars.

    And that's the reason all this is happening; if you'd treated the rest of the world as well as type own citizens, the rest of the world wouldn't actively dislike you, they'd be watching reruns of GGW, sat on the sofa with some junk food, totally demotivated and disillusioned by the continuous fake news/propaganda.
