Anti-privacy laws are bad. Me personally, I don't want any government to be able track me. I hope the US government doesn't get any ideas from this.

How could the US government get any ideas from this when they've been spying on everything you do online for years?

Until a corrupt official tries to find something in your personal life and tries to blackmail you with it, or takes something you say completely out of context to go after you. Unless you are perfectly ok with living in a transparent glass house, there are things you do that you don't want others to see.

Anti piracy laws are stupid for the most part. Most people pay for their entertainment legally and no amount of asinine laws will stop the people who pirate.

But I don't see how this would work though. Are the Australian feds able to force Google and Apple to create a backdoor and how will this work internationally? But even if they can figure it out, don't care. Nothing to hide


I absolutely agree with you. The people that make the most fuss always have something to hide.
