I hope that Trump understands that he would be alienating a YUGE portion of his base if he allowed Barr to pursue this. Not to mention just how overall bad this is.

They want more tools to go after the Bad Guys.
And yet they know all about how bad Hillary, Obama, Brennan and Comey are. And they don’t go after them

They can pass all the laws they want. You cant defeat physics with legislation.
Encryption is an easily available technology, available to all on an open source basis.

The old Ruby Eidge Barr comes back out? Still nothing done on Comey. Wtf is wrong with these people. They are really rebellious control freaks.

Exactly. Which tells me everything I need to know.

And they PROMISE not to let it get into the wrong hands. (Can you hear my eyes roll?)

Barr is not a fan of the 1st or 4th Amendments. Another bad appointment.
To: softengine
I assum there is already a backdoor of sorts.

Wow. I did not know that about Barr. "Barrs legal crusade for blanket immunity for federal agents who killed American citizens."
I get that people make mistakes. Bad judgements. But this one is truly big. I am heartbroken to learn of it, and disappointed in Trump.
Apparently, Bannon and Gorka's departure was a worse sign than we knew.

Trust your government?

US Attorney General Barr saying that Big Tech "can and must" put backdoors into encryption.
Right, so the likes of Peter Strzok and other people I wouldn't trust to clean up after their own dogs can have access to what I want kept private. Barr needs to stop, or Trump needs to stop him. Security backdoors can be used by anyone, not just the government - and we've already seen that the government can and will use its power to thwart the will of the people.

In other news, mailing letters in envelopes will no longer be legal.

Very disappointed. Had such high hopes for a return to the country I grew up in....
To: softengine
And ahhh, why isn’t Barr putting antifa on the domestic terrorist list instead of putting the final nails in the 4A?
Why is the President going along with this?
Where are those FISA documents (unredacted) that were promised?

IKR! And there is no place to escape to now..
To: MichaelCorleone
There won’t be any FISA documents released. It was all a LARP. They are just dragging it out long enough to keep the base jazzed up enough to re-elect. Which we will, because the other side is utterly deranged.

Mathematics, but yeh, spot on.
Physics, I suppose, if the people get ahold of the means of quantum entanglement at home. Maybe someday.
