I don't follow. If he was a child abuser as you're implying, wouldn't he be for encryption?

Do you seriously think he's against encryption for his own class of unfathomably rich peers?

He's against encryption for the commoners, the 99.999% of people not part of the transnational elite, who as we've seen in the Epstein case can fly around and do more or less what they want with both people and money because of connections to "intelligence".

Do what they want, until they end up hanging from a jail house ceiling?

I find it somewhat uncomfortable Posting a comment that might seem pro rich, and he did initially get away with minimal penalties, but you didn’t exactly pick the poster boy for Unlimited impunity.

Well it's all pretty muddy, but so far i think Epstein was expendable. As i just wrote there are a myriad of links to "intelligence" and a larger structure.

If people are interested go to the Epstein subreddit take deep dive - most likely it was a classic honeypot operation to blackmail high ranking politicians for political gain or for some industrial complex - not a lone wolf with a back story that makes no sense in isolation, suddenly getting rich without anyone knowing why.

Two conspiracy theorist die and go to heaven. At the pearly gates they are let in and allowed to ask god one question. They ask him, about the Epstein suicide, and god replies “no my sons, there was no conspiracy, it was in fact suicide”

The conspiracy theorists turn to one another and remark, “This goes even higher than we thought”

It's a super gray area i agree, and people can become obsessed with "patterns".

I personally find it interesting like i find the Snowden revelations interesting, or the Wikileaks implications or geopolitics in general.

I started majoring in history before going into tech so i don't personally find any of these "conspiracies" fringe or stupid seen in a historical context of for example US intelligence organisations throughout the 20's century - obviously non organic campaigns like qAnon is something completely different but this info is from classic journalism.

But i can see that those top-down campaigns has really turned people away from even the slightest deviation of the "official narrative" now, so well, qAnon and other psyops really are working - there is only the mainstream, and the idiots left.

So what you’re saying is that being against encryption is somehow aligned with the interests of child molesters? How does that work?

What he's implying is that Gates' willingness to associate with known child sex traffickers indicates that his concern about CP is likely disingenuous, and merely a posture he's adopting to push a policy goal he supports for less politically palletable reasons.

Gates really jumped the gun on this interview. Overly opinionated, judgmental, and paternalistic.

Listening to Gates talking about since makes the irony of it biting. Excel, the software designed under his watch keeps destroying scientific results, to the point gene names had to be renamed.

Not to mention how Windows did all possible to hamstring Linux for decades, setting back science for god knows how long.

thanks Bill.

How many decades are you exactly talking about?

Gates is anti science because excel. Can you even still see the shark from all the way up there?

>Listening to Gates talking about [science] makes the irony of it biting. Excel, the software designed under his watch keeps destroying scientific results, to the point gene names had to be renamed.

Make sure you warm up before making a stretch like this, folks.

If we listen to conspiracies, probably half the world is connected to epstein, gandhi and erdös in some way or another.
