Security experts made similar warnings about CALEA: that criminals would use the built-in wiretapping capabilities. They were correct then, and they are correct now, but in the United States we are more concerned with expanding police power than with the safety or security of the general public.
- mtgx 13y agoI don't think they really care about that as long as they have control over everyone's communications. Plus, if that happens they'll probably see it as a positive for them, because they get to demand even more funding and less strict privacy laws to "defend" us (against a problem they created in the first place). It's not that different than how they maintain the war on terror by radicalizing people in Middle East against US with their drone strikes.
