However, we don't have a "hardened security" approach, we aren't developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice.

"anyone who wants privacy from their government is a pedophile" is a hell of a stance...

"Why did you lock your doors, what did you steal?"

More like, "Why did you lock your doors, are you diddling kids?"

Honestly by now it's becoming reasonable to assume "projection" as a baseline, to then change based on evidence, when someone has a take like this guy's.

I don't mean the political tactic, just the garden-variety kind of projection. "Probably ~everyone thinks the way I do, and boy, we better not give everyone the tools to act on that..."

Deeply wrong about how most folks think, because of how they themselves do, and believing they're therefore helping. Likewise a self-admission, because they don't realize they're admitting anything.

Maybe not the case with this guy, I'm not gonna dive in.

But I do sincerely believe that's a somewhat charitable take toward anyone making a claim like this today. Charitable in the sense of acknowledging a misunderstanding and desire to help.

The less charitable one being - just obviously complicit. Fuck this noise.

the privatized western govts & their tech boys literally are the infrastructure of the global pedos it's asinine & dangerous to tell people to ignore that!

The stereotype of pedophiles in cop shows is that they use desktop computers anyway, not phones. Don't know how true to reality that is though.
