"In today’s America, conservatives who actually want to conserve are as rare as liberals who actually want to liberate. The once-significant language of an earlier era has had the meaning sucked right out of it, the better to serve as camouflage for a kleptocratic feeding frenzy in which both establishment parties participate with equal abandon" (Taking a break from the criminal, incompetent liars at the NSA, to bring you the above political observation, from The Archdruid Report.)
All in the name of playing games with people in other countries to have whatever retarded thought/plan in their head backfire when the person/group decides to be terrorist(s). Then we inevitably have to pay for war(s) and lose more of our rights? Government can stick it this time.
Maybe he has some illegal numbers on his hard drive.

says who? you? even if they saved lives do you think they could verify it enough to make conspiracy nuts like you happy? no... so why bother? you either believe they are wasting tons of money and getting absolutely nothing for it or you dont. while i know our government does waste money i dont believe they would continue this unless something made it worthwhile. and i dont care what that is, not my business. nor yours. i like my government to be powerful and do anything to remain the number 1 world power. too much uncertainty in any other possible scenario

I mean, they have simple, easy-to-use means to breach normal tumbler locks, and yet pretty much everyone here still relies on them for their primary home security, I imagine.
If they get a warrant, you're obligated to un-encrypt the device/account/files for them. This means they need to have reasonable cause, like any other warrant, but what they were talking about here wasn't not needing a warrant. It was that certain new technologies, which create encryption that the parent company can't break, shouldn't be allowed.
It's like if a bank had a supervault that they couldn't access, even if the cops showed up with a warrant. Right now, if you've got stuff in a safety deposit box, and the cops have a proper warrant, the bank can open it for them. That's the kind of access they're talking about, in terms of electronic devices.
Claiming this means an end to privacy is more than a little hyperbolic.
Put it this way assume it's 5,000$ for each instance of copyright infringement now assume that I've violated this about 400-500 times on the low end that's roughly 2 Million in fines. Or I could just go to jail for a couple of years during which time i would have made roughly 300,000 before taxes. It's an easy choice to pick jail rather than turning myself in to the tune of 2 mil.

Actually you do.
I know they phrase "If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear" but truth is actually the reverse "It is only when you have nothing to fear that you have nothing to hide".
To me for instance, I personally am an open book to pretty much anyone I deal with and if you ask me something, I will pretty much tell you point blank the truth, even if you don't want to hear it.
But, do I have something to hide? You're damn right I do. Depending on who is in power and who I am dealing with and the situation, I might have to hide my religious views, my political views, my sexual views, my sexual habits, my religious habits, my political activities, my online activities and countless other things.
Just because you have nothing to worry about NOW, doesn't mean you won't in the future and it doesn't mean what changes it has anything to do with you or anything you have done at all. History should have taught you that by now if you bothered to read it.
So you oppose all search warrants on general principle?
Because that's what we're talking about here. That search warrants should oblige encryption providers to breach the encryption, to allow the search to be conducted. That's it.
It's no different in any way than expecting a landlord to be able to open an apartment door so that you can conduct your search.

That's why I don't use Facebook, smartphones. It is my privacy, people should not invade others privacy, president or not.
What a scumbag of a president. If this keeps up, U.S will be a continental prison, if it isn't already. When will people learn? When will the masses rise up and take down the government?
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
