Perhaps TrueCrypt was an NSA scam all along, 'retiring' before they're found out? Worse still, a Russian/Chinese scam!

- J_Darnley 12y agoWhy is that worse?
- logicallee 12y agoAmerica has rule of law and the NSA had to go rogue to do what it did; once their program was outed it's on all news, everyone is discussing; Americans enjoy real rights. If China or Russia had the same capabilities there would not be any theoretical backlash against this being discovered, since par for the course there is far less freedom. It's not the abstraction that's promised even theoretically. This is the same reason why it's better when Google (with its nominal "do no evil" strategy) turned out to collect wifi data with its street cars, which is not as bad as if Microsoft (with no such policy or mission) had done the same thing.
- Bustard 12y agoLOL! You fucking retard. I much prefer the russians or China have my stuff to the megalomaniac US going around all over thwe world killing people or suing them to bankruptcy.
- J_Darnley 12y agoIt might be limited in its actions against Americans but that doesn't make me feel any better. Also the program may have been outed but, it looks like some people are keen to keep it running and possibly make it actually legal

- J_Darnley 12y agoFair enough. You weren't wrong.
