FBI director: Tech companies should be required to make devices wire-tap friendly

 

[mtangelsfan]

This is what will kill America, not ebola.

[Hollyw00d]

Have we become so mistrustful of government and law enforcement in particular that we’re willing to let bad guys walk away?” he said.

for me, that is a resounding yes.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Dear God.

[Tank]

if his approach involves easier access via search warrants and following the laws about search and seizure, maybe it's a conversation worth having.

 

if it's just carte blanche access, he can go pound sand.

[mtangelsfan]

I'm not interested in anything that makes it easier for the government to spy on its citizens.  They have already proven untrustworthy in that arena.

[Brandon]

Un****ing real.

 

The funny thing is the government can blatantly make these comments and try to push it and no one will do anything. They always push safety or some bullshit, but when passed just overstep regular citizen rights.

 

This is also the kind of shit that makes me think 9/11 and all the terrorism shit is government perpetrated. Not advocating anything......we see how dumb the government is to knee jerk and do shit like the Patriot Act and Frank-Dodd with the financial crisis.

[Kevin]

This shit was probably going on before and 9/11 was just a wet dream for them to make excuses for doing it.

[Adam]

Do not trust anyone who's paycheck is signed by Uncle Sam

Not only that but the FBI has no business telling any private corporation what to do regarding their technology unless what they are creating is a threat to privacy.  Certainly not telling them to create tech that is a threat.  Total bullshit.

[mtangelsfan]

I hear all the news shows are all about ebola.  Keep flipping out America while the real evil creeps in right under our stupid noses.

[Adam]

The Media commits treason on a daily basis

[arch stanton]

No. They serve the master who owns them.

[floplag]

straight up terrifying.
has there even been a more egregious transgression on our rights to privacy as the last few years?
When Obama said transparency, i didnt think he meant us! 

[Adam]

No. They serve the master who owns them.

 

Of course. We are supposed to be a government by the people for the people. When we're lied to, or have things withheld from us, that is treasonous. 

[Hollyw00d]

It's disgusting how many of our fellow countrymen gladly hand over their rights and freedoms to the wealthy elite that rule this country. They're so brainwashed and willfully ignorant to the true purpose of America and it's ideals that they'll fight and maybe even die to defend the system that "protects" them.

[gotbeer]

WTH.  Congress might get something right.

 

Congress won't pass a law letting the FBI access your encrypted data

[Blarg]

Some bright guy in Congress realized it would be an open portal to all phones, including theirs.

[Crampknees]

“We are struggling to keep up with changing technology and to maintain our ability to actually collect the communications we are authorized to collect.”

I guess me finally getting an iPhone 5 ended my struggles to keep up with technology. You guys are way behind us normal folk.

 

 

I have said it many times, as much as Obama sucks, a POTUS does not run this country.  If you don't hear from me again I got whisked away. 

[mancini79]

Apple doesn't need to create spy technology on their devices, they already have it. No way they give that up to the government..... for free.
