- realsolipsist 1y agoI can’t sneeed
- kstrauser 1y agoSure he can. In an ideal world (from the US gov't's perspective), all communications everywhere would be encrypted, and only they'd have the workarounds to access the data anyway. I'm not being sarcastic. For real, what major government wouldn't want that in their favor?
- ImPostingOnHN 1y ago> they'd have the workarounds to access the data That is the opposite of privacy.
- lenerdenator 1y agoThey have to know that there's no monopoly on those workarounds. Unless they're even more hubristic than we imagined.
- kstrauser 1y agoEven if other nations have access to the plaintext, that beats all nations having that access.
- lenerdenator 1y agoI don't think they much care about all nations. They care about maybe a maximum of five having that access, and I'm sure they realize that #1 on that list (PRC) won't need much time to become a peer on any given technology.
