The Cooper Davis Act would force tech companies to report suspected drug activity to the government. Experts say it would be a disaster for digital privacy.

Scroll up and find the part where I said to ban encrypted messaging. You’ll find the following sentence instead “spying is bad”.

You’re adorable.
Keep digging ;)
You do seem like someone that wishes they were an autocrat that could just get rid of people they don’t like.
I believe in true freedom of speech (not the american bastardized version of it).
You’d be fine.
As long as you were not using drugs.
You didn’t say it, yes. But established survaillance can be countered by encrypted messanging apps, so the next logical step is to ban them. In fact, the US has been trying to do so for a long time now and the same excuse is always given - “think of the children”. There’s a video by Louis Rossmann and another one by Mental Outlaw, both going into detail about why this is just that, an excuse. Survaillance isn’t normal and should not be normalised.
America, Smart. Pick one.
Every country has survaillance, US just makes the most noise with laws being passed. It’s the principle that matters - once other countries see that a certain law allows them to monitor people more closely, they’ll want to pass their version of that law. Australia is basically a Police State, UK also has very privacy-invasive laws.
Weird, only China gets called out for it by American media.
I mean, no suprise there, every country calls out every other country on that. It’s only OK for the American goverment agencies to spy on Americans.
