    Telling someone who says government access will be used to spy on citizens but will be useless for combating serious crime that they want telescreens, a fictitious device used for government spying, doesn’t make any sense. Either you don’t know what a telescreen is, you have poor reading comprehension, or you’re a fairly clever troll. Maybe some of all the above.

      I’m telling someone who says that a want for uncompromising privacy is a US thing that it’s not, and that these compromises they speak of would be akin to telescreens if applied to a non-digital situation.

        But their comment doesn’t say or suggest that.

        and that these compromises they speak of would be akin to telescreens if applied to a non-digital situation.

        And they don’t say anything about the compromises except that they’d be used for spying on citizenry.

        This isn’t my fight, I saw you were confused and thought I’d help. My mistake, you really are one of those double down or die types.
