That's the stupidest thing I've heard this month. (Yes, I am aware of what the rest of the month has been like.)
Either these people have no idea how valuable Five Eyes is, or they know but are still willing to destroy it in a temper tantrum or an attempt at a power play. Either way, they need fired yesterday.
- anthony_d 2y agoWhy is your ire directed at the US here? Spying on each others citizens is one thing, but the UK is attempting to both prevent the US from having meaningful consumer encryption and destroy trust in US corporations. I’m a bit shocked that an ostensibly tech site seems fine with the UK trying to destroy consumer encryption globally.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoBecause this discussion is about the US response, which is completely ham-handed and destructive. The UK position is also appalling, but that's not what we're discussing here.
