Encryption control and gun control are equally as pointless. You can build a sten gun in your garage and some hard crypto in your bedroom.

The author doesnt understand firearms so he blames them, the average person doesnt understand encryption so they blame encryption.

throwaway21816on German government to use Trojan spyware to monitor citizens

>You are not arrested for "having an opinion" but if you call for violence, deny the holocaust or endorse genocide. Those are not opinions.

Those are all opinions. An opinion is a view or judgement on a given item. Just because they are opinions you do not like doesn't make them anything more than opinions.

>Nobody moves the definition every day and it has nothing to do with encryption nor can those laws ever used against encryption by definition as they all include doing something in public.

Nobody moves to definition? Talk to me about the use of spyware on citizens, I'm pretty sure that definition just got moved.

>Probably everybody who knows the German society will know whether something is "just an opinion" or violates one of those laws just be looking at most statements. It's one of those "I know when I see it" definitions that is shared among Germans. That being said courts have created very narrow and clear precedent on those laws.

Well if the state say so then it has to be okay right?

throwaway21816on German government to use Trojan spyware to monitor citizens

Today it may be good fun to watch people with a differing opinion get arrested and harassed as a part of "justice" but tomorrow when they decide you dont need encryption and youre the one being targeted it wont be so funny.

throwaway21816on German government to use Trojan spyware to monitor citizens

When the state has a monopoly on force any speech against them is hate speech. Defending the censorship of people you dont like will simply come back to bite you.

What if I told you that gun control and encryption control were equally pointless.

You can make a sten gun in your garage

You can compile strong encryption in your bedroom

Blaming guns doesnt solve either issue

Have it call you then you can call the cops or have it call your neighbors.

The utility of calling cops is vastly over-rated in most parts of the United States due to police response times being slow.

You could make one. A bunch of ESP8266 modules connecting back to a rasberrypi via SSL with a strict sensor timeout would mitigate the comcast alarm style bypasses. As for a remote, key fobs are so 1990s! Connect your smart phone using an app.

Ta-da! A custom alarm system that doesnt suck.
