FBI wants backdoor in MSN Messenger


Recommended Posts

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the article mention that communications would be "tap" just at the ISP level?

The FBI has made a proposal to the FCC that would require all Internet Providers ...

Yeah configure, only the ISP that means that all of us that are not on USA will be safe?

Ha - it'd be funny to see what happens...

While playing MechAssault on XBOX Live...

a - HA! Blew you up bigtime!

b - ******

a - Yeah - just like I'm gonna blow up that US embassy at 3:00 pm on the 18th of next month.

:laugh: :rofl:

roflololol they want to put backdoors in an MS product lol they're probably already there cuz M$ sux lolol

...sorry couldn't resist :rofl:

Anyway... this seems kinda dumb... if the FBI wiretaps the big names they'll just resort to running private Jabber servers for illegal activities

Better to stop talking to people in America over MSN then as they will monitor your side of the conversation comming into the country. I presume that this has something to do with preventing terrorism.

Ads running for Bush accuse John Kerry of wanting to weaken the Patriot Act as if that's a bad idea. This is the kind of **** your Patriot Act gets you. Yeah... land of the free (except for when we need to trample your freedoms).

Man, this is hilarious. I love however is soooo quick to turn on the government and bitch at them for extending something they already do to another medium. If the US government sucks so much, why don't you do something about it? It's a democracy for a reason: so your voice can be heard. Instead, all it seems like is everyone here yells at the government than turns around and does nothing. If you don't like this, DO SOMETHING. Don't sit on your fat ass listening to pop music getting fat off McDonald's in your sweatpants from Walmart. America: Land of the free (if we care enough to keep it free, that is).

And I have no problem with this. They can already order wiretaps on my phone. NSA is reading my emails, and has super computers powerful enough to break encryption (thought that encyrption wasn't NP-solvable? Think again!). I don't care if they're reading my emails. I don't have anything to hide. And it's not like someone is *actually* reading them. It's a computer looking for keywords, nothing more. Same in this case, as there is too much informatino to sift through by hand.

I don't think the government is the problem, it's the mentality of the people in the country...

nope, they can do it anywhere, because microsoft servers are based in US and any traffic they get can be intercepted and have these laws applied to it

its gay, very gay, might catch a few pedos tho, good for somethings, bad for most

Didn't you read my previous post? they are going to backdoor the US ISP servers :D :D

/me Is a proud user of Tricom, that's why i cant be backdoor'd :ninja:

some odd words there

badger, aol, 15kg... :s

yeah why the hell is bob in there. So everyone called bob is going to have there communications constantly monitored. I cant see it happening :

Alright Bob, Hows it going mate ?

CODE RED, Move to Defcon 5 we have another Bob on the line.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.
