Its interesting that such a vocal West Coast crowd votes for Obama, when in fact he has been one of the worst presidents in recent history on use of privacy and security.
Im curious to know why people still follow a person with such a horrible record on the constitution, when he studied in great detail.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoWith Obama's recent actions regarding privacy and encryption, I'm terribly glad I didn't go to work for the US Digital Service.
- studentrob 11y agoIt's not like the President understands that encryption is ungovernable and is pursuing a fruitless path on purpose. He just doesn't get it. We should be begging smart people to get in the White House and help relate the facts to him. The current CTO Megan Smith is there calling for more people to join. She says the discussion about encryption is "ongoing". She's obviously outnumbered. Tech does not have proper representation in the White House.
- spoiledtechie 11y agoStop giving the president just another excuse to give him another out. He has plenty of smart people around him, yet he still insists on government over privacy.
- studentrob 11y agoIt's not an excuse, he's a lousy guy for not giving tech staff his sincere attention. My point is, nobody has broken through to him yet. It's his fault, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying. We all bear the results of what he says publicly.
- jaredklewis 11y agoNo great mystery really: voters choose among the options they have. There are very few pro-privacy US politicians (such as Rand Paul), and they are most certainly not on the presidential ticket.
