Friendly reminder that 7 years of illegal NSA spying failed to stop a single terror attack.
I think the recent court ruling looked at 7 years of spying. I could be misremembering.
7 years ago was when the Snowden leaks happened, so I think they'd been doing it for awhile beforehand. Doesn't really matter, just curious about the number you used.
software being illegal hasnt ever caused software to cease proliferating
switzerland isn't the EU. Expect protonmail to be attacked and if they survive then more serivces to pop up.
Also,disobey the ban.
I read somewhere that proton gave info to law enforcement upon request without even demanding to see a warrant (don't have a good source for that claim though)
It's the same issue that cropped up with the locked iPhone the FBI wanted access to
They asked Apple to make a master key for them
But that could be used on any device anywhere, a massive overstep
the best part is that apple caved, gave them a backdoor, and within a week russia got their hands on it and bragged about it lmao
This is so disgusting, one terrorist attack and these ghouls immediately use it to give the cops and intelligence even more power. Every fucking time, like clockwork.
But hey, you surely have nothing to hide, right?
Under communism the government bans doing math because it wants to know everything you say.
And it doesn't even make sense either, like if I am a committed terrorist I will find a way to chat privately using something like PGP.
This only ruins end-to-end encryption for the average user and makes it very simple for cops and intelligence to check you out if they like to.
Five Eyes at work :)
Does not even matter that the terrorist was known before, got caught trying to join the IS and then was reported to Austria because he bought ammunition. Encryption was the problem!
not even some big yurop 9/11, no pretence of garnering public support
When your contrarianism makes you unironically embrace Wahabism. Ex-4chaners and their compulsive need to overcompensate for their embarrassing past, smh.
