And these [explicit] trying to use excuses like it's for our children or if there wasn't encryption this shooting world have never occurred etc to further surveillance makes me furiuos. What makes me even more angry is these [explicit] getting away with lying to congress, courts with absolutely no action against them. Democracy is for the people by the people and of the people. I understand the need for secrecy in some matters of the govt. But the courts not having the ability to oversee them without having to resort to secret court system is govt abusing it's power. They have been using NSLs to keep their BS under the covers. That gotta change. There had to be punishment for those in power lying and misleading public.
They have also tried using Paris attacks to justify backdoors and surveillance telling us they would have been able to stop it if there was no encryption. Now those who hears it will support spying without knowing that Paris attackers didn't actually use encryption to his their communication. And NSA still didn't get a clue and warn them. Paris is not even their responsibility anyway. They have French govt to take care of their affairs. Those massive amount of tax dollars and resources can either be used to make a better world or to make an orwellian world. What's it going to be people? It depends on you.
