Comment on France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU.

This is exactly what I believe will happen - organized crime will develop alternate methods the government can’t access while these backdoors are used to monitor less advanced criminals and normal people.

Spending significant resources to prevent it is exactly what encryption is. What the government wants is to completely eliminate online private communication. Continuing with the analogy: you want telescreens.

Huh? I don’t think you understand my comment. You’re just agreeing with me and I’m already agreeing with you.

I don’t agree with you.

So then you’re in favor of these government backdoors? Because your comment suggests the opposite.

I think you do, you just misread their comment.
