        Neither did he last administration and neither will the next. They want us polarized and fighting each other so we don’t fight them.

          Exactly. And “leftists” are as hell- bent on division as rightists. We’re on the same side, if people could set aside differences and focus on similarities, that would be great.

            “Division” is good when one side is fucking Nazis who are literally Sieg Hiel saluting each other. You’re not supposed to get along with or cooperate with Nazis. Stop with this bullshit false equivalence. At this point it’s downright dangerous.

              I am talking about citizens. What if we had this attitude about Russia during WW2 and Afghanistan? Please close your eyes and try to imagine that.

                Nothing you’re saying makes sense actually. What are you talking about?

                  Historical facts. Both those wars would have gone very differently if not for working with people with whom we had ideological differences.

    any ‘lawful’ access that’s baked-in will also be used and exploited ‘unlawfully’.

    fbi want direct access to encrypted data while simultaneously also all data to be encrypted in order to be protected from china?

    do explain how this is all going to work because it’s extremely confusing.

    There is no ‘lawful access’ without a warrant or my permission. there aren’t laws saying padlocks need to support a government master key, and encryption is just a digital lock.

        Bolt cutters are not a key, they are a method of bypassing the lock. they still need a warrant to do that, which is the point.

          The laws don’t exist though because they’re so easily circumvented. If you AES256 encrypt something today, there’s an extremely lonely chance they can’t crack it. For years.

          With a padlock they can just pull out the cutters and they’re done.

          I’m just referring to your point on why there are no laws against padlocks in this context.

    It’s not my responsibility to make the FBI’s job (or any cop’s job) easier.

    Also, folks should be using 3rd party open-source encryption, like VeraCrypt and a password manager that encrypts the database, like Keepass. Don’t ever expect governments and corporations to respect your privacy.
