Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham renewed his calls on technology companies to give law enforcement entry into its encrypted information to fight terrorism. His message to Silicon Valley: "Change your business model tomorrow."...

Companies like Apple and Google have bolstered encryption on smartphones because of heightened consumer privacy concerns in the wake of Edward Snowden's revelations that the government had been spying on its citizens. Graham said that’s a business decision....

Apple, Google and Facebook have all been under mounting pressure to create backdoor keys that would allow law enforcement access to encrypted communications. The companies maintain that this change would make consumers vulnerable to hackers and cyber crime....

You inability to explain WHY Linda Graham is ‘right’ on this proves you have NO ‘patriotic gravitas’ whatsoever.

You must like having the government up your ass eh?

Graham is not correct on anything, either in terms of policy or in terms of how to run a campaign. Fortunately, the latter will prevent the former from doing too much damage to the country.

Maybe its time for Apple and Intel to move their headquarters to someplace that won’t tell them how to make their devices

Precisely. When politicians who don't know beans about business start lecturing actual business people about how they need to change their business model, they need to be served a great big mug of Shut The Hellup.

Suggesting that you like having the government ‘up your ass’ is not necessarily suggesting that you’re a homosexual, however you do seem a little defensive about that.

Why not start from the beginning and try explaining (if you can) why you think that pansy from South Carolina is ‘right’ on the need for Silicon Valley companies to ‘change their business model’ so the Feds can have access to all sort of encrypted communications?

You’re sounding more and more like a big government statist.

I think it suggests it is a latent issue for you since it is part of your conversation, your lifestyle as it were. Why do you write so readily about perversion ? What condition is your soul in ?

My soul is just fine, thank you very much, now how about dropping the shuck n’ jive and either support your position with facts, or just sneak back under that big government rock you crawled out from under?

Your conversation on this thread indicates otherwise.

You have just demonstrated again that you don’t know WTF you’re talking about.

I’ll worry about my soul, you worry about trying to support your lame brain opinions, how about that?

Sen. Linlin has back doors on the brain.
