The past is full of security services getting the trapdoors and backdoors and keys into nations telco systems.
Can US city and state police with federal task forces and that extra funding afford the same in 2018?
The telcos and big bands cannot secure their internal networks.
The price for a city police force to play is the only question. Voice prints too:)
Yes they are. The tech exists for different generations down to the city and state funded federal task forces.
The only trick is to keep the tech message out that its all NSA, GCHQ complex for every new generation of big brand product.
The its safe for criminals and police under internal affairs investigations to keep testing their communications and GPS devices.
The NSA might actually have to get back into crypto again rather than just expecting big brand hardware to be shipped with a password.
Designed in the USA. NSA inside.
AC The NSA's raison d'être is to ensure the USA never has its 1930's US Army and Navy duplicated seperate decryption efforts again.
The NSA does not want to get discovered in a computer network when spies from another 5 eye nation are in the same network.
List of military nuclear accidents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
How to stop that list from growing so the mil and contractors still look good?
Dont keep a list of military nuclear accidents.
The network into NK are left open so the NSA and GCHQ can connect the CIA and MI6 to the NK command and control structure.
The top NK mil get made offers. Stand down the more complex mil systems and CIA funded escape negotiation is always an option.
Go to war with all mil systems and that CIA escape is not going to be offered.
That internet link is the communications network for the NSA direct to the NK command.
NK has become wise to such communications and is looking to a new generation of its own trusted nuclear scientists who are less susceptible to CIA offers than the NK mil.
The US will go after the bank and banking services the non US based exchanges use.
The non US bank found to be supporting "exchanges" will be given an option.
1. Keep the codes to do banking in the USA, international banking, not be on an international watch list.
2. Keep working with exchanges and have a US investigation started on the bank. Not able to do any banking with any other bank that is in the USA.

AC re "one sent to the authorities" That would be a legal trap door, back door.
When lots of different people have that 3rd key to use, copy and share the nation wide results fro privacy get interesting.
The mil and security services copy and share that third key. Ex and former staff use the their key. Other nations, groups, criminals get the third key thanks to trusted staff having split loyalties.

Re 'But even more concerning, who decides what is "patently offensive material"?"
The SJW who want to control and censor the internet politically.
No more US freedom of speech and this is just the first legal step thats easy to sell.
The next cyber laws will be on political speech.
Not if the state makes a claim some material on site is illegal under color of law.
Then every user of every site in that state could be "investigated" when they accessed the illegal material thats under investigation.
Watch for every user that finds and looks at that then "illegal" site.
The site becomes bait and the users in that state looking at the illegal site are logged.
Net neutrality would just cover the way the internet pipes work.
Not much can stop an ongoing police investigation into illegal material on a site.
Would a CC, ISP, bank, VPN say "no" to that kind of very legal police request?
Police would go for the low hanging internet fruit first.
All tame ISP in Rhode Island keep logs on all users and gives full user logs to the Rhode Island police. Searches then find ip rages, domains and sites visited.
If that does not work legally, open a state task force "investigation" in the top sites on the ban list and ask all ISP in the state to support state law enforcement to find all users connecting to a list of sites under ongoing cyber investigation.
The request for all ISP logs would then give state wide usage, site, time, ip of all people connecting to a list of banned site.
Keep it "legal" and look for the banned sites not a request for all users "logs". Been found connecting to a banned site is the crime under investigation.
That helps cover for any legal claims of a state wide fishing expedition, privacy intrusion in to all users. The name and ip of the banned site is what gets a user investigated from the logs the ISP handed over.
1. Deep packet inspection for all HTTP sites that get requested from Rhode Island.
2. Deep packet inspection for all HTTPS sites of interest to Rhode Island.
3. Hunt down all P2P users sharing files within Rhode Island.
That would get many users with an ISP and everyday web browser, P2P usage patterns who did not VPN in time before new cyber laws get passed.
The next step is to follow the money and find VPN users with CC banking connections in Rhode Island.
4. Credit card tracking for anyone using a credit card in Rhode Island to buy, subscribe to VPN and other banned services.
5. Find an ex NSA, GCHQ contractor who can help Rhode Island police understand VPN usage.
The filter will work in many ways on all kinds of data sets over all tame ISP.
Rhode Island could create a state/federal cyber task force and hunt for Rhode Islanders who try and use a VPN, pay with their CC from a bank in Rhode Island.
A good VPN that does not log and that is not in a 5 eye nation, in the EU would be good to avoid international reciprocal cyber police, CC, banking assistance agreements a Rhode Island/federal cyber task force could attempt to use.
That would find CC VPN users and people using CC to pay for sites.
Do Rhode Island police have the budget to go for a mini NSA, GCHQ and the needed private sector contractors? Then they could try in state VPN decryption and tracking.
What the security services could afford in the past is now ready for cyber police in Rhode Island?

Reading about "security" issues in real time is not allowed if anything was really security related.
AC that really depends on the US state. Opening a forum for public and political discussion that anyone can walk into and join may not always keep enjoying that ToS "is not the government" cover.
The key in some states is what is private but still regularly held open to the public and what a state constitution says.
i.e. what sites could be seen as "common areas".

Re "conservatives"
