<hamitron> imo, they'd be better relaxing the laws on some things that are not so bad, and clamping down on encryption
<hamitron> then those who try hide proper "bad things" can be chased down and butt raped
<Alex> You seriously think having governments systematically trying to break encryption is a good thing, hamitron?
<hamitron> no, they should restrict encryption
<hamitron> remove the need for it, by relaxing regulations on some of the traffic people feel the need to hide
<Alex> Removing the need for encryption isn't the same thing as restricting it.
<hamitron> I'd do both
<Alex> Also, I'm not sure restricting encryption is technically possible.
<hamitron> for example, I'd ban the use of tor
<hamitron> but at the same time, there would not be a great need for it
<Alex> Do you look up to dictators like Hitler?
<hamitron> you can't have a totally free internet, it just wouldn't work
<hamitron> ;/
<hamitron> there are plenty of scumbags in the world, that need putting in their place
<Alex> Everyone using Tor = scumbag?
<Alex> No. Fuck off.
<hamitron> no, I did not say that
<Alex> <hamitron> I'd ban the use of tor
<hamitron> yes, I would
<Alex> <hamitron> there are plenty of scumbags in the world, that need putting in their place
<hamitron> and where does it say all users of tor are the scumbags?
<Alex> It doesn't.
<Alex> It's implied.
<hamitron> there are plenty of legit people using tor atm
<hamitron> it was not implied
<Alex> >Plenty of legit uses for Tor
<Alex> >Still wants it banned
<hamitron> you just assumed something, so you could jump on me
<hamitron> ;/
<Alex> I could already jump on you for this: <hamitron> I'd ban the use of tor
<Alex> The scumbags comment just made you look even worse.
<hamitron> so you don't think it would be better, if there was not a need for stuff like tor?
<Alex> The world would be a better place if there was no need for it.
<hamitron> exactly
<Alex> NOT if it's use was banned.
<hamitron> what I'd do, is make it so it is not required, then restrict access to things that allow true criminals from acting
<Alex> The whole idea that access to it needs to be restricted IS making it required.
<hamitron> not if you can do what legit users do through it, without it
<Alex> Restricting what people can send/receive on the internet = making the use of tools such as Tor necessary.
<hamitron> I was not going to restrict content, just restrict methods to hide what you do
<hamitron> ;/
<Alex> Yes, how dare someone use their right to privacy. They should be shot for it. /s
<hamitron> bbl, bacon butty is ready
<hamitron> users don't have the right to do what they want where ever they want
<hamitron> ;/
<hamitron> been laws in the UK for a long time
<hamitron> get used to it
<Alex> They have the right to send/receive whatever they want. That is guaranteed by freedom of speech.
