The two members of Congress called on the Commerce Department to investigate risks related to TP-Link routers amid concerns over state-backed Chinese hacking operations.
So is it bad cuz there's loopholes to spy on us or is it bad because of who has access to the loopholes?
Gonna be real with you bro. I know the govt is spying on me. And I don't care. They can have my music preferences and what I watch on youtube. What games I play. I don't care. I promise I'm very boring.
It just doesn't matter. At all. Dramatic spy novel nerds will talk about HUMINT and leverage. Totally dude. Please. Share my porn preferences publicly. See how far it gets you. Lol.
Ultimately, arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.
I didn't agree with it when Homeland Security was a new term on the news. I didn't agree with it when Snowden proved all us "conspiracy nuts" right about it. And I don't agree with it now, but the NSA Authorization gets passed like clockwork every year anyway.
It happening. And it's gonna keep happening. I just don't care if China sees it too. That's all.
Yeah it doesn't matter now. Do a little research on fascism and how tolerant they are or anything seen as "outside the norm" (with the "norm" being a strict set of behavior that the regime finds acceptable. On that day).
Eventually, they absolutely will care about those preferences, and they will separate (and probably execute) people based on them. This isn't anything new.
You're making this absurdly naive assumption that the people taking your data are doing so to protect you.
Anyway, get in contact with me and we can set something up so that every single conversation and button press on your phone is instantly sent to thousands of people for review. Shouldn't be a problem, right?
