The Feds' Vehicle 'Kill Switch' Mandate Is a Gross (and Dangerous) Violation of Privacy | Jon Miltimore

Over the last century, the Land of the Free has slowly transformed into a land governed by endless laws, largely by cracking down on vices instead of actual crimes, creating a society that would render us all criminals if our behavior were constantly observed. Meanwhile, the state has steadily expanded its use of mass surveillance, largely under the pretext of fighting “terror.” This is a toxic mixture.

    we already cant trust authority with things like guns, why the fuck should we let them do this?

    this would be just another tool to be abused by the cowards that join these groups and call themselves ‘officers’.

      It’s also another potential attack vector for hackers to use. Imagine hackers getting control of the system (or simply finding whatever standardized backdoor the companies have been forced to include) and being able to shut down an entire city over a weekend.

      We can’t trust authorities with guns? You mean like in the sense that they do absolutely nothing about the rampancy of them in America?
