Don’t worry, the (federal) government will still have no problems getting their hands on it. Any progress on privacy is great, but it doesn’t buy much as long

Any progress on privacy is great, but it doesn’t buy much as long as underlying issues aren’t solved. We still have a legal system that has no issue with nearly unlimited surveillance by the federal government which is set up by what is essentially secret law.
- rlvesco7 8y agoYes, but they have been bypassing due process by using 3rd parties instead of going directly to telecoms. And the friendly folks at Palantir et al are only too happy to share.
- jrs95 8y agoThe due process is basically just a rubber stamped sham anyways — the only downside is that there’s a paper trail. But it seems that as a government agency you can just lie to the FISA courts to get your warrants and there won’t be any consequences later.
