Continuing the Not New theme.
Silly people constantly misunderstand the origin of the web. The origin was not mysterious or secret. It was started by Deepstate for its own purposes.
It didn’t suddenly switch from a grand festival of freedom to a surveillance monster when Trump was elected. Like every data web, it was meant to serve stock criminals along with surveillance. The public side of the web in the Compuserve era of the 80s was owned by HR Block. Deepstate has always been bankers, spies, and activists.
Tim Berners-Lee, who gets the credit for “inventing” the web, is complaining that NSA shouldn’t break encryption.
Silly boy, you didn’t invent the web. NSA invented the web. The web was actively used for all sorts of academic and commercial purposes between 1970 and 1993. You invented a very good protocol that made the web easier for non-professionals to use.
NSA invented the web so they could see everything. You can’t blame them for continuing to use their invention to see everything. And since decryption is the basic job of any spy agency, no matter what kind of communication, you can’t blame them for decrypting what they see.
Timmy, you’re a spoiled brat.
Basic rule, true for thousands of years: If you want communications to be private, don’t communicate in public. Don’t use systems that are controlled by others. Everyone who needs secrecy … spies, illicit lovers, criminals, revolutionaries, armies, scientists, inventors … has always understood this.
