Ugh, not that I like the idea, I kind of think they are correct.
- someonewhocar3s 9y agoHow so? The Internet is set-up to provide free and open communication between all nations on the planet. If you can't handle freedom of information, the correct response is to disconnect from the rest of the world. It's not the correct response to raid the rest of the world, and make sure their information is to your liking. Fascinating how that's not obvious.
- candiodari 9y agoSadly, that still gives US citizens effectively more control over their data : the right to not give up encryption keys because they might be used to incriminate you is pretty much exclusive to the US. Also: US citizens CARE about this. Well, some do. That alone makes them far better off, over time. Europeans are really worse off, but no-one cares.
