Huh? I don't think you understand my comment. Except for the last line, you're just further agreeing with me and I'm already agreeing with you.
I don't agree with you.
I think you do, you just misread their comment.
Nope. I didn't and I don't.
Telling someone who says government access will be used to spy on citizens but will be useless for combating serious crime that they want telescreens, a fictitious device used for government spying, doesn't make any sense. Either you don't know what a telescreen is, you have poor reading comprehension, or you're a fairly clever troll. Maybe some of all the above.
I'm telling someone who says that a want for uncompromising privacy is a US thing that it's not, and that these compromises they speak of would be akin to telescreens if applied to a non-digital situation.
But their comment doesn't say or suggest that.
And they don't say anything about the compromises except that they'd be used for spying on citizenry.
This isn't my fight, I saw you were confused and thought I'd help. My mistake, you really are one of those double down or die types.
Wow. Seems like you missed an entire comment.
Wow indeed. We're only a few comments deep, so you can see the comment. This one:
I challenge you to show where it suggests a "want for uncompromising privacy is a US only thing." Then point out where they show support for government access to communications.
The literal first comment.
You're responding to a follow-up comment from a different user who is disagreeing with the first comment as if they're the author of the original comment and their clear dissent is actually them agreeing with themselves somehow. Of course, you're arguing with anyone who points out you're confused.
Literal fucking insanity, mate.
Oh, I didn't see they were different users. Live and learn.
So then you're in favor of these government backdoors? Because your comment suggests the opposite.
No, I don't agree that a want of privacy is an American thing.
So you misread my comment but you're one of those types who can't admit when they're wrong. I'd say it's our little secret but I see someone else pointed it out too.
Nope. You're the one refusing to admit being wrong.
Edit: I was totally in the wrong here. Someone else just pointed out you're not the original commenter.
