| Out of proportion
The whole terrorism and child porn deal is thrown way out of proportion. I don't like either, but is it really that big of a problem?
I've been slipping more and more into encryption. I have several friends using Trillian's IM encryption, I sign some emails now with PGP, and I use TOR on and off. I don't do anything illegal, I just don't want anyone knowing what I do.
The whole "if you have nothing to hide blah blah" quote is bullshit. I have nothing to hide, and that's all the more reason to hide. If I arouse suspision, then fine. Let the FBI waste their time on me; they won't find anything if they are finally able to decrypt some packets.
The RIAA/MPAA is having no problem bringing people to civil court via the current data retention. Why is it such a problem for the government? I'm sure if they suspect illegal activity they can ask the ISP to retain some data on that one customer for the duration of the investigation.
What's next? Making it illegal to use services like TOR? Perhaps making it illegal to wipe your HD? [sarcasm]After all, you only do those sort of things if you have something to hide[/sarcasm] |
