Just as “money laundering” is being used as the cutting edge to destroy the last vestiges of financial privacy, so “kiddie porn” is being used to destroy the last vestiges of online privacy.
This is not to say that there aren’t such things as money laundering or kiddie porn, but how does the existence of whatever crime is in season supply a reason to crack down on everyone else?
Like, if the government wants to go after money launderers, why does it have to destroy the art business? And if it wants to go after kiddie pornographers, why does it have to nullify strong encryption?
I suspect the goal is something more than what is stated, and they are hoping ordinary idiots will hand over their records and their passwords without a fight.
Sad to see such tyranny prevail in a once free country.

If the government wants to crack down on illegal logging why does it have to raid Gibson?
You’d think there would be more outrage about that, it’s a slap in the face to rock fans.
