As soon as someone follows "we all have the right to privacy" with "but", a springboard should pop up from under their feet and launch them into space. Unsurprising the first time I see a CBC article at the top of HN, it's a puff piece about how taking people's privacy is supposedly good for us. Real glad I paid for this article, but it's not like I'm not constantly paying for these clowns to produce slop that I find appalling. They recently spent $2 million to create a bunch of liberal propaganda podcasts that got a few hundred views per episode. I hate this country. | ||

When the entire point of the enterprise (sky in this case) is to enable criminals, wouldn’t the enterprise itself be part of the criminal conspiracy? I am all for privacy, but I’m also for rule of law. If I could start an encrypted messaging company that marketed exclusively to criminals, then wouldn’t I expect to be charged as abetting the crimes committed as a result of facilitating that communication? It’s a question of intent. Law isn’t black and white- and law recognizes that tools can be dual use. It’s not perfect but nothing is. |
