My theory is the politicians adamant to fully subvert the privacy of the people belong to Theil.

None of these countries are hot and chaotic enough to cause this much fear in their elected leaders. As such, it makes sense that an outside player is the one so damn keen on making it so.

This is so god damn ridiculous that we have gotten to a point where it’s harder to steal data and info from people with fine digital systems only for governments to tear it all down.

Let’s go back to only http while we are at it and require single word, all lowercase passwords too. Too complicated? Not allowed, only a-Z characters. Or actually no, let’s store the passwords in clear text so if Mr. Police needs it he can just request and look up my password. Oh and fuck 2FA because that’ll be too inconvenient for whoever needs to access my data.

/s (for politicians and law enforcement before they take this as a draft)

This is why I keep saying Peter Theil is the most dangerous man in the world, and people like him are a threat to global human rights. Ted Cruz in the US was the only senate vote to block privacy protections for US citizens this week because it could prevent law enforcement from finding pedophiles. The same day, he said we should stop attacking pedophiles. (In this context, by attacking, he meant requesting the release of evidence they hide to protect their pedophile buddies.) It’s outrageous.

Maybe purging everyone in favor if this from having any sort of power is the only way to protect yourselves?
