Wiretaps for the internet are a bad idea because their implementation creates security vulnerabilities.

…and if the target creates a VPN pipe encrypted with a 1024-bit butterfly transform starting from inside his machine to a machine waiting to act as a proxy, all of this is for naught.

Sounds like the bad ol days of the 60’s and 70’s are back with us. Does anyone really think the govt of the time didn’t spy on ppl protesting against the us’s involvement in vietnam? The net just makes it seem a bit easier for them is all.

Then again these same village idiots thought they’d be able to find osama using their ability to monitor comms traffic. If it didn’t work with him what the hell makes them think it’d work with any other terrorist?

This is just some dumbass moronic public servant’s attempt to justify his job to his superiors so he doesn’t get outsourced or made redundant.

Bye bye, free speech online.
Welcome, Police State.
This is certainly bad news. Even for us non-U.S. citizens.

“…the government says is intended to help catch terrorists and other criminals…”

I guess most average US citizens would fall under the “other criminals” heading.

The biggest terrorist organizations have three letter acronyms…
