    Telling someone who says government access will be used to spy on citizens but will be useless for combating serious crime that they want telescreens, a fictitious device used for government spying, doesn’t make any sense. Either you don’t know what a telescreen is, you have poor reading comprehension, or you’re a fairly clever troll. Maybe some of all the above.

      I’m telling someone who says that a want for uncompromising privacy is a US thing that it’s not, and that these compromises they speak of would be akin to telescreens if applied to a non-digital situation.

        But their comment doesn’t say or suggest that.

        and that these compromises they speak of would be akin to telescreens if applied to a non-digital situation.

        And they don’t say anything about the compromises except that they’d be used for spying on citizenry.

        This isn’t my fight, I saw you were confused and thought I’d help. My mistake, you really are one of those double down or die types.

            Wow indeed. We’re only a few comments deep, so you can see the comment. This one:

            Continuing the analogy, government agencies can absolutely eavesdrop on in-person conversations unless you expend significant resources to prevent it. This is exactly what I believe will happen - organized crime will develop alternate methods the government can’t access while these backdoors are used to monitor less advanced criminals and normal people.

            I challenge you to show where it suggests a “want for uncompromising privacy is a US only thing.” Then point out where they show support for government access to communications.
