       Seriously..Fuck every government that forces companies to remove security features for their snooping :nkoHammer: Don't care what government you are, you don't get a backdoor or lacks security because you want to

       @stux It's the clear lack of understanding of the technologies they're tampering with that gets to me. Weakening encryption in any way puts everyone at elevated risk.

       @stux Indeed, such measures obviously would mostly affect law abiding citizens by denying them their right to privacy, while perpetrators could still avoid detection through additional encryption or by using noncompliant, smaller platforms.I hope people proposing weakening of encryption are just incompetent and not malicious, but they clearly should not be in charge of anything related to this field.

       @stux I have had the opportunity to assist with police work a few times, I've spoken to these people and they don't need back doors in software, they need resources, and people to keep up with the world.Governments need to provide security agencies enough resources to hire and train people to do proper through transparent investigative work. Back door for "good guy" is also a back door for the "bad guy". Software can't be selectivity insecure.

       @stux Sometime recently in the not so distant past a lobby/interested party probably had a chat with someone in the Gov. This is what also worries me.Who gains.
