Is a rapist or predator lurking in your neighbourhood? Now we have a drone watching him 24/7! Also it's watching you and your children to make sure everyone is safe. Coming to an Amazon delivery near you!

Allowing home searches without warrant, mass surveillance without limitation, limits on free speech with criminal penalties, arresting reporters and torturing them to reveal sources - these are all things that may save just one life.

"a communication can be retained by CIA for longer than 5 years if it is enciphered"

nice, so basically all communications through popular chat apps these days.

no wonder they are asking for "backdoors" :)

what happens when quantum computing decrypts these all? if it's 15 years from now, do they just throw us all in prison retroactively for something we said 15 years ago?
