- Aeolun 3y agoYou mean they don’t want to keep filling out forms and wait for approval to be able to help someone that got hacked?
- wbl 3y agoWhen the cops don't need to fill out forms to catch criminals that's a police state.
- electroly 3y agoAre you kidding? If this happened in America we'd never hear the end of it from Europeans. Obviously, the government would love to just pilfer around in the computers of private citizens and businesses without "filling out forms", but that's not a good reason to give it to them.
- Aeolun 3y agoClearly the reverse is also true :) They don’t get to ‘pilver around the computers of private citizens’ though. Only those citizens directly affected by an existing hack (I read it as being under control of the hacker). If I had the choice between just a nefarious hacker, and both the nefarious hacker and the NL security services having access to my PC I’d choose the latter.
