Front toward enemy. @seyitaylor on twttr. 

"because wtf" seems like a really easy way to justify dragnet surveillance

not to pick on this one user, but the unfortunate reality is that there's no way to give users privacy without resulting in some abuse

it's a tradeoff we have to be conscious about, and one that I'll gladly take

privacy is a human right

there is also no way to have the state create personal safety from violence through the monopoly on use of force without resulting in some abuse.

there's a spectrum to how far we go to protect privacy and, while the post was worded provocatively, I think the underlying point is not trivially ignored.

local police having surveillance tools is different from centralized espionage agencies having them.

the world is different now that states can attack each other by manipulating social media. i can't see how a state can defend against that with a total ban on large-scale tooling.

I mean that post is provocative, no one should want authoritarianism. 

And also the thing in the EU about the govt preventing end to end encryption is terrible. This should never happen https://thehackernews.com/2024/06/signal-foundation-warns-against-eus.html?m=1

I’m just saying I don’t get upset that the spy agencies get to have powerful spying tech.
