Re: Encryption on Android

Why would you need encrypted SMS? Unlesss your pushing drugs, or selling them, or talking to little boys or girls, like some of the red people like to say, if you are doing nothing wrong, then you should not need encryption.

Because me telling my wife about what I'm going to do to her tonight, and the amount of lube we're going to need to pick up on the way home, is none of the NSAs business. Or do you think it is?

I don't agree with it but every time you try to beat the drum of privacy that's the first thing I'm used to hearing!

Never fails to be the first counter-argument to be any privacy push.

Then why fight the "cold war" which I think someone said was about freedom or something like that??? I think one thing they keep pointing out was government surveillance of phone calls??? It's just the US has better tech then they did back then.

The US taxes everything in sight to make things equal??? Isn't that communism???

Still can figure out why the cold war was fought???

For those of you to young to know about all this cold war stuff the US is acting very much like the commies of back then....»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Commun···anifesto

A little reading to get you going.

Maybe because it's been proven time and again that private information sent in the clear is constantly being dragnetted by various parties for various reasons, whether they have any interest in YOUR information or not, without you consent or even your knowledge?

And I'm not solely talking about either of government, law enforcement, business, private or illicit entities at any given moment.

RE: Think of the children!
Fun fact: The people who think of the children that much, usually get busted for pervy things. Or abuse their kids or were abused by their parents/relations.

The biggest 'scared of homosexuals' people in congress/senate will eventually get busted for being homosexual. Michelle Bachmann did cure her husband of being gay for the time being. Marcus Bachmann runs a 'gay to straight' conversion company. Nasty Nasty man he is.

There was an unconstitutional Bill up in Canada that the title was "protecting children from internet stuff". Except it had nothing about children in it and it was all about creating a massive data-base of everyones internet communications.
An Canadian article recently also had a Judges decision that the police need a wiretapping warrant above a regular warrant to download peoples IM history and other digital communications stuff.

Meanwhile Internet companies in America keep rerouting their customers communications into that massive government data center for profit(called the George Bush Jr memorial library?) .
Corporations are 100% corrupt and enjoying breaking constitutional law without any penalty.

Some of those acts may be illegal in certain states.

I always argue that if you aren't pushing drugs, or selling them, or talking to little boys or girls then the government shouldn't be monitoring you in the first place

I can't wait to deport unamerican "good 'ol boy" traitor trash like you to more hospitable countries like China or North Korea where you have no right to privacy, personal rights or property rights.

I'm sure you'll fit right in bowing to daddy mao and the dear leader.

In the meanwhile i'll stay right here and enjoy my freedoms and use the legal system to fight anyone who dares threaten those freedoms.

This is all too true. Some people require encryption due to the job they have, and these are all legal and require to be safe, cell phone, landline, and the internet (VPN for one thing), so secret information is not transmitted in the clear.

Is the government in the business of attempting to spy on legitimate businesses in an attempt to create emminent domain issues and steal ideas and products for government use without actually PAYING for it? (one wingnut theory)

This type of behavior is right out of the iron curtain. It is far to open to abuse as current behavior indicates, and should be halted immediately. The only good being served by this is government attempting to avoid being prosecuted for rights violations.
