At a guess you believe they're not actually doing something good even though you are, on average, less informed about their mission and activities, less intelligent, and lazier.

Sure, I'm reading between the lines a little here. But they deliberately restructured skype to be less secure and more expensive. Unless your opinion of MS's competence is really THAT low, it seems reasonable to conclude that they

They're just asking for the laws to be changed, actual civil disobedience is a bit beyond that.

Because they can't just seize the servers the way the US does.

That betrays a shameful lack of creativity.

A comfortable enough life that you can actually choose what to do rather than having your hand forced by circumstances.

There are plenty of other options. My personal favorite is the google method - recognize that "spying" is inevitable and embrace it in order to improve your own life.

Most people here are ideologically committed to western concepts of freedom. It doesn't matter how good the results are as long as things aren't done their way.

Both of those court cases didn't matter.

I'm responding to the outrage over >It basically means the government can both violate the Constitution and absolve itself for the reason of "national security" Why does the century matter?

If you are unwilling to allow border guards to inspect something you are attempting to bring into their country, then you should be prepared for them to tell you to leave it outside at best or punish you for attempted smuggling at worst. I

If the legitimate border guards of a country are unable to inspect something to their satisfaction, they are well within their rights to force you to leave it outside their country, or to keep you yourself out. Sometimes they will make deci

>Also, someone cannot get my passwords if I am dead. Ever 99.9999% of the time this comes up in real life, it's an inconvenience.
