we just found out they're monitoring chat traffic so we know they are monitoring much more, cause now that some started using encryption, they have requested to have a backdoor made just for them for all encryption products .
it will become like the war on drugs, those that use encryption will be imprisoned for long periods of time
Hopefully they're monitoring Muslim Yahoo voice chat ..and the other main one, too. Knowing the efficiency of the fed gov,they're probably monitoring this site. It doesn't seem they were monitoring the Muslim in Chattanooga. There's many more there.
I wouldn't say this. It would be against general policies of National Security. Let's say there will be a group of systems of encryption which will be "licit" and all the encryption methods beyond that group will be "not above suspicion" and there will be a "soft check". To encourage citizens to invent further systems of encryption is even positive: the security authorities will buy those new systems to use them ... I guess that the last thing that NSA wants is that prohibition generates a black market of super hacking encryption algorithms [a nightmare for National Security!]. Then you know, in Italy we've got a nice joke about NSA and email control, in several variants ... one of these variants says [under the emblem of NSA, which is in public domain, btw] "Don't waste your time encrypting your emails ... we will do it for you."
