How the Australian government plans to access encrypted messages

This is a brilliant comment except for the fact these weapons you presumably own will never, ever be able to overthrow the US government; a few hackers employed by Russia already did that anyway.

Secondly, if what you say is true I assume, given the refusal to follow large parts of the rest of the constitution, you are planning to overthrow them as we speak?

Finally, I’m concerned that your dream of overthrowing a bad/illegal government, while utterly hopeless, is causing tens of thousands of deaths and about 100000 people being shot per yer. But hey, that imaginary overthrowing the government thing is worth it...

yeah, we're in agreement. there will be no overthrow, instead the government (and all governments) will simply take away more and more of your rights, until they're all gone. both the ones you like, and the ones you don't like. doesn't matter; they're all going out the window, slowly but surely.

next on the list: encryption and data privacy. and there are plenty of useful idiots out there who think encryption somehow harms children, they will come out of the woodwork at exactly the right time, and scream the loudest and make the least sense, you can be sure of that.
