This keeps coming up in most countries every few years. Everyone seems to forget in nearly every country telecoms are licensed industries and providing legal intercept is a legal obligation of those licenses.
- seanw444 2y agoAh okay, the law says so, so it must be acceptable.
- londons_explore 2y agoI just want everyone to be aware of this. Every call or chat conversation that is intercepted should have an audible/text message saying "beep. beep. Sergeant Tom smith has joined this conversation as allowed by wiretapping regulations for your safety and security". Followed by "This conversation is now being recorded by Sergeant Tom Smith".
- rustcleaner 2y agoNo we should ignore the loons in Washington and instead use Session/Briar to communicate privately. What Senator Timmy gonna to do, pass a law? :^)

- worewood 2y agoWhile they have the power to backdoor telecom networks for surveillance, what they actually want is a way of doing this without legal oversight or recourse to traditional legal gatekeeping like warrants. So we should not shrug this off just because "they already can do it".
- tamimio 2y agoPretty much, as right now with proper legal justification the government can access any communication, or at least get the meta data associated with.
