Turing machines? What do they have to do with privacy?
- yummyfajitas 13y agoBack in the 90's there was a movement in congress to lock down all computers iPhone style - i.e., ordinary users should not have access to Turing machines. The Clipper Chip was one of the early attempts at this. The goal was to prevent piracy, encryption, child pornography, violent video games, and all the other bad things that the internet was enabling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_chip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_chip
