A security flaw or backdoor that lets the NSA in also lets the Chinese in as well, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fucking moron who deserves to have their information stolen. Good security is when nobody other than the owner can get in, is trust-less, and built upon open standards and easy to audit. I’d rather let a million child pornographers or potential terrorists get off Scott free because the security on their devices couldn’t be broken, than even entertain the possibility that my stuff is deliberately compromised by whomever.
 
Maybe in hindsight we shouldn’t have been so hard on MySpace…

But in the absence of the federal officers, Thursday night’s protest passed off without major incident or intervention by the police.
On Wednesday, Oregon’s governor, Kate Brown, agreed with the White House that the state police would take over responsibility for guarding the courthouse after weeks of escalating protests. She said that “Trump’s troops” were behaving like an occupying army in Portland and provoking unrest with heavy-handed tactics.
In contrast, the state troopers did not intervene even when the scale of the protest on Thursday night passed the point, as demonstrators shook the fence around the courthouse, at which in early demonstrations the federal agents generally fired teargas, stun grenades and baton rounds.
In the absence of confrontation, and with the state police remaining largely unseen inside the courthouse, tensions quickly eased. Without the federal forces to draw attention, protest organisers kept the focus on Black Lives Matters and reform of the Portland police.

It’s just Since this actually happening and my deathening fear of web censorship (A phobia sparked by A17) and people thinking that the repeal of Net Neutrality had something to do with this (TikTok being banned still would’ve happened even if it weren’t repealed) will lead to widespread panic.
