True! That&#x27;s why I don&#x27;t understand the issue at all. It&#x27;s probably the reasen the FBI went in the open, to get public presure to get what they want.<p>Anyway, China and Russia also act to their laws so we cannot rely on that. What if Trump takes his first shit in the White House and wipes his ass with every privacy law he can find?<p>Hackers should be independent of laws, provide for their own tooling which can protect people like Snowden.<p>People who care about privacy must take care of themselves. And if some terrorist decides to kill people and use a 4digit passphrase I won&#x27;t defend the guy.<p>I&#x27;m not against privacy, on the contrary, having worked on compliancy&#x2F;risk management software. (Some of) you guys have no idea about the crazy amount of data which is acquired about almost every person with a SSN. Kept in hundreds of databases, balancing on legal boundaries.<p>All made possible by law...
