wow, when you put it that way it's like saying "either I have the right to own a gun or I do not." So I guess if people except limits on gun ownership they should accept limits on encryption cuz it's just as dangerous?
- gambiting 11y agoTo me personally the concept of even owning a gun is utterly ridiculous, but I guess American people would be incredibly upset if every gun had to come with a built-in remotely controlled switch that could be used by the police to disable it. This is essentially what they are trying to do with encryption - you are free to use it, but we want to be able to manually switch it off if we want to.
- andrewfromx 11y agoit's that interesting, people on the LEFT want NO LIMITS on encryption but LOTS OF LIMITS on guns. Is encryption more or less dangerous than guns?
- harryh 11y agoActually no. What I'm saying is that you do have the right to own a gun, but there are limits on gun ownership. * Minors cannot buy guns. * Convicted felons cannot buy guns in most circumstances. * There are numerous locations in which it is illegal to bring a gun. * There are numerous types of guns that you are not allowed to own. It's not binary.
