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

  I’m telling someone who says that a want for uncompromising privacy is a US thing that it’s not

  But their comment doesn’t say or suggest that.

  and that these compromises they speak of would be akin to telescreens if applied to a non-digital situation.

  And they don’t say anything about the compromises except that they’d be used for spying on citizenry.

  This isn’t my fight, I saw you were confused and thought I’d help. My mistake, you really are one of those double down or die types.

      Wow indeed. We’re only a few comments deep, so you can see the original comment. This one:

      Continuing the analogy, government agencies can absolutely eavesdrop on in-person conversations unless you expend significant resources to prevent it. 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.

      I challenge you to show where it suggests a “want for uncompromising privacy is a US only thing.” Then point out where they show support for government access to communications.
