'Data disruption warrant: gives the police the ability to "disrupt data" by modifying, copying, adding, or deleting it.'
What does it really mean? Can they now legally change what website says to me? Intercept and change what signal message says?
I am genuinely trying to understand what functionality hides behind this broad language.
It's a good thing everyone surrendered their firearms to this same government. Once they know you can't resist anything they can do anything to you. I'm guessing NZ is next now that they've confiscated nearly every firearm they could.
I wonder if you realize you're intimating, even obliquely, that you'd be willing to kill cops, soldiers, and democratically elected officials for performing their duties because you individually don't agree with their decisions.
In other words, you're mad at the government for being too authoritative, so your reaction is to take the most authoritarian step possible and literally murder them for their political beliefs.

Why would the bottom 51% have more influence than the top 51% or the middle 25-76% or whatever other random fraction you pull out of your butt?
>Why would the bottom 51% have more influence than the top 51% 51 + 51 = 102% The bottom 51% have more influence than the top 49% because one is a majority. There is your answer.
Reminds me of anti-free speech laws that was almost passed in France. It was designed to help fight « hate speech ». It enable police to remove literally ANY content from the interne t as long as it was « hateful » of course there is no legal definition of hateful. I think similar laws have been passed in Belgium and Germany. I find it funny that has economic growth from the post war era is slowing down and climate c…

Well fuck I just moved to Fastmail. Who else is out there? And no I’m not self hosting.
There and New Zealand both. The responses (extreme lockdown) of both countries to Covid has been nothing short of insane.
I don't know where this is going. Perhaps prepping for the global warming riots. Is there a way out of surveillance?

Yes. If we had our firearms we could shoot back. Pew pew!
Indeed, it seems to work for the Taliban vs. the most powerful army on earth.
In similar news the well-known direct democracy of Switzerland just voted a new rule giving police similar surveillance powers without judicial oversight. So it's obviously the people wishing to be better surveilled and we're the outliers here.
That's terrible news. I wonder how this will interact with ProtonMail (which I just switched to.) On the other hand, I don't think you can draw your conclusion from those two examples. Also, other than the cantons of Appenzell Innerrhoden and Glarus, Switzerland isn't really a direct democracy, semi-direct at best. You'll notice they have representatives in a federal structure, despite having mechanisms for some dire…
