MODERATORS
I'm a computer engineer with over 30 years of experience. If I'd want to be a terrorist, they can Monitor google, and they wouldn't find me. They can decrypt WhatsApp and a few others and they'd still not find me. They wouldn't be able to find anyone halfway capable.
What they WOULD find is a lot of people just going about their day.
Makes you wonder who they're trying to target with all this shit.
Banning encryption won't stop child porn, not even a little bit
Monitoring google won't stop terrorism (or child porn) not even a little bit
Can we please Please PLEASE make a law that requires politicians to know what they're taking about? If a politician votes about banning encryption, he either know what it does and why it works or if he doesn't know, he.doesnt get to vote.
