George Washington passionately attacks colonists use of Those Treacherous ENVELOPES.

[DiogenesLamp]

Time for App writers to take up the gauntlet and do it anyway.

This will soon come here. The government wants to know everything about everybody. It wants to know what you think, what you buy, where you go. It doesn’t care about terrorists.

Government, unless restrained, inevitably moves closer and closer to fascism.

“He said terrorists, paedophiles and criminals must not be allowed a “safe space” online.”

Or anyone else, for that matter. Imagine when it’s illegal to transmit data or reports critical of global warming, or text criticizing Islam, or Margaret Sanger’s Plan For Peace.

We’ll need to go back to ham radio, hectographs, and face-to-face handoffs of data.

no such thing as unbreakable encryption

“He said terrorists, paedophiles and criminals must not be allowed a “safe space” online.”

He is talking about the government, right?

[Lazamataz]

In todays world, if the government says no, we must say yes.

He said terrorists, paedophiles and criminals must not be allowed a "safe space" online.

Unless, of course, they work for the government.

“He said terrorists, paedophiles and criminals must not be allowed a “safe space” online.”

Nah, over in what’s left of Merry Old England, they simply let those whose stated goal is to kill them, show up, build mosques, rape their young girls, and lay around and draw welfare. I thought most Americans were really stupid until I took a hard look at the UK. The UK is the “Jimmah Cahtah” of nations.

[Objective Scrutator]

Remember when the UK used to have the world’s best codebreakers? If they learned to reduce the size of government so that only the best can get jobs, maybe that could be the case again.

sounds like Apple isn’t going to be able to sell iPhones in the previously free and Great Britain.

[Still Thinking]

Pricks. If they force the manufacturers to do this, everyone should just start encrypting the comms along the way.

He said terrorists, paedophiles and criminals must not be allowed a "safe space" online.

By that same logic, people should be able to be stopped and searched at any moment. Wouldn't want to give terrorists, paedophiles and criminals a "safe space" on the roads, sidewalks, their homes or anywhere else.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

PING!
