Off the wall idea - given that encryption was classified as a munition in the U.S. from an export control standpoint, does that mean it’s protected under the second amendment?

That's not an off the wall idea at all. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=encryption+2nd+amendment+protectio...

personally, i doubt this to be true. the voting masses are by and large not that smart on issues like this. granting access to personal data in order to receive promotional information has been accepted and liked by a large percentage of the masses. if not liked, then tolerated. if not tolerated, then willfully ignored.

if the argument is to get discounts on retail products/services, then of course the "think of the children" or "but terrorists" will work on them as well.

putting that much decision making in the hands of the voting public is always a scary idea, and never a sure thing.

Yeah - I’m constantly floored by the number of people that trust Clear at the airport, to save a couple of minutes in line…

Both are fantastical and naive. Billions are used on shaping voting decisions in plain sight/text.
