    Reading comprehension is hard, so I’ll help you out.

    This [event mentioned on the news] is the perfect example of why you should be worried. Because your government can [i.e. has the potential to] turn into a fascist dictatorship at any time [which is unrelated to this specific piece of news, being a hypothetical scenario] and you ain’t getting that data back.

      I can read just fine, I’m just wondering how you correlate this with the possibility of the government turning into a fascist dictatorship. They’re 2 completely unrelated things, that’s why I’m confused to why you put them together. You even literally say it’s unrelated to this piece of news…

        Are you serious, or being a pitiful basement troll?

        Action is not illegal → Service provider has unprivateable data on action → Action becomes illegal → You now have confessed to your crime

        Can’t make it much more obvious

            People won’t all stop doing something they did just because it became illegal. I wouldn’t stop eating bread if it became illegal, for instance. Much easier to justify a search and witch hunt if there’s evidence of previous action.

          Are you being serious, or just being a pitiful basement troll yourself?

          You’re saying because they did thing A it means you should be wary because thing Z might happen, even though things A and Z have literally nothing to do with each other nor does A happening give any likelihood of Z happening.

            Got it, you’re a pitiful troll. I don’t care that your time is worthless, stop wasting mine.
