Man I’m so paranoid. Why do I feel like it’ll be something stupid like claiming encryption is unconstitutional or that freedom of speech only applies to words that come out of a physical person’s mouth?
Oh that’s easy. Encryption is only legal when communicating with a business that is registered with the IRS and not when doing peer to peer. There, we’ve hopelessly broken digital privacy while letting the US government determine who gets to exist online.
Honestly if it meant everyone got kicked offline I might take that exchange. Turns out access to the entirety of human information and misinformation is a pretty good way to go extinct (at least at the rate we are going).

I’m kinda with you on this. It seems like quite a number of the cases they’re taking on are to make their mark on condoning fascism and oppression.

The only thing is that corporations need encryption and I don’t think they want to disobey their corporate masters.

Conservatives not only aren’t fans of the IRS, they want to slash its budget. So that may not be what they want either.

they can’t do the latter, or that would mean corporations can’t pump infinite money to politicians
