That's the gimmick. That stuff is easy to say, knowing full well he won't win and have to do it (wouldn't be able to anyway). If his vote on the Patriot Act was actually needed, you can bet he would have obliged.
He is only running to shepherd in more of the "lefty" money to the democrats that would otherwise go to the Greens or some other party. Hillary gets it all after he drops out. He's no angel. Look how he runs his senate campaign with the democrats to mitigate against the chance of a "spoiler" getting on the ballot, by running as an "independent".
Obama made a lot of promises also. Why should I believe this guy when he works for the same people? If we want to get serious, the entire party power structure has to go, both factions.
Sorry, maybe I'm just under the influence of the Chicago machine that has worked so well all my life.
Though it would be better if Big Brother does give up peaceably, it's not a requirement if we can just work around it. It might be more peaceful, if we let them think they are in control.
Computers are still not ready for prime time. They are little more than a Google/Facebook appliance. It is not a good idea to use them for anything more critical than that.
I can attest to a Republican presidency that shoved the PATRIOT Act down our throats.
With full consent of the democrats, outside of a small fringe element with no influence. And more than a few democrats helped draft the thing. Nobody of any significance spoke up against it. Face it, we have created a monolith, which is really a monkey trap. To free ourselves we only need to let go of the nut.
And just like last time, pushed by democrats (like the party really makes a difference, it's purely a coincidence). So, when voting, know that Trump will protect your privacy just as well as Hillary.
Maybe the open source ones might. Commercial entities won't risk the liability. They exist to make money, not software/hardware. Legal battles are for protecting assets, not rights.
There are still people who believes government lies.
That would be anybody who votes for a republican or democrat. A little over 98% according to the last numbers. And they are digging in their heels when challenged over it.
They won't risk the liability issues that can affect their stock price, or possibly mean jail for the executives. Only the open source crowd can mitigate the threat, through anonymous development if need be. Whatever it takes.
They would like that just fine. It will save them lots of time and effort.
All these stories about online censorship, and so little on the successes of circumvention. We need to bust down the walls, all of them. If there ever was a "just" war, this is it. And it requires no blood.

This is yet another good argument against "democracy".

Go back to paper and fax, slow but effective.

Can you white list your phone's contact list? Is there an app for that?

Yeah, I guess I'll have to wait for the miracle of 3D printing to make my own.
We make the math. The system is us. If it is "broken", it means we are.
"exception" to what? I don't care about Apple.

Now why would I ever buy a phone like that??

Law enforcement is exempt from the law

Abby something...
I don't use yahoo. And "culture"? Please! Are you a yahoo that thinks the state is entitled to listen in?

Ah, typical KGB :-) Still the Ruskie! Please, go home...
Why are we permitting such secrecy? It's all bullshit.
Remove the petty politics and witness how simple things become.
You didn't explain why they are entitled....
it is bad enough that they know, who calls you — but they have a legitimate need to know.
They do? Who's "they"? The KGB?
Yeah, so is the second coming. Reality has been pretty "virtual" for over 45 years...
Is it really that easy to block? I would like to hear more about successes in circumvention, and prevention of future obstructions.
