FUCKKKK;

Lets toss our privacy rights out the door cause we HAVE to be protected from the evil out there,

whatever any one says

those of us born in the 50-60's lived n the best times,
we had it all.

I do NOT envy my daughter and what the world will be during her life time.

In the wake of recent terror attacks in Europe, British Prime Minister David Cameron has called for an end to secure communications technology.

In other words, he wants to ensure that you will never again be able to use encryption technology to maintain privacy.

Nothing should be safe from government’s prying eyes. Nothing.

This is the same sad cycle repeating itself yet again: something terrible happens, and government reacts by awarding themselves even more power and taking away even more freedom.

Prime Minister Cameron’s remarks came in a press conference in which he stated:

“The simple principle is this: do we want to allow a means of communications between people which, even in extremis, with a signed warrant from the home secretary personally, that we cannot read?”

“And my answer to that is, no, we must not. The first duty of any government is to keep out country and our people safe. . . The powers that I believe we need, whether on communications data or on the content of communications, I’m very comfortable that those are absolutely right for a modern, liberal democracy.”

Nice. Spying. Censorship. Unlimited control.

Best of luck FREE WORLD

FFS Looks like the ''terrorists'' are winning in the UK! After fighting off the Nazis in 1940, they end up having their freedom betrayed by their own government!

Reminds me of this quote:

"Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong." - Terence McKenna

As long as the rest of the world doesn't move this way, development of important technologies will continue in other countries. As long as the technology develops somewhere and is distributed, governments will have a difficult time actually ending secure comm. Of course, users will have to change their browsing habits, but anyone who cares about privacy is doing this already.

They've been wanting to do this for a very long time. In the UK, you go to jail for not being able to produce decryption keys when asked for. http://falkvinge.net/2012/07/12/in-the- ... noise-too/

There will be a Crypto Party hosted at Meta House (Phnom Penh) tomorrow, Saturday, starting at 2 PM. If you're interested you should totally be there.

I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say 'Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?" - Mike Godwin, Electronic Frontier Foundation
