This will force the country to learn about how important privacy is. Couldn't have done it any better myself. You can all feel as hopeless and defeated as you

This will force the country to learn about how important privacy is. Couldn't have done it any better myself.
You can all feel as hopeless and defeated as you like. When it comes down to it nothing in history came easy. With the Advent of the internet it forced the hands of those in power come up with new ways of making us think they are more powerful or have more power.
And unfortunately it works like a charm. A tech revolution would completely undermine the entire worlds markets over night. With the help of HN, it's members and a few months and some serious agenda pushing anything can get done. Problem is you all feel so defeated nobody wants to agree on the same agenda.
Like I said. It works. But we know how now. And with all the brain power on HN it's only a matter of time before they start targeting us. And they already have by passing this and putting that shit head in charge of the FCC.
- nihonde 10y agoI'm a lawyer whose practice involves privacy issues. My opinion is that identity itself is going to completely unreliable and impossible to verify within my lifetime. When your phone rings and you have absolutely no way of knowing whether the person on the other end is who they say they are, even if you know them well, and even if there is video, biometrics, etc.--that's when personal identity will be truly over. From there, it will progress quickly until even an in-person meeting will be hard to authenticate.
