    Should the government have lawful power to unlock any device? After my first public debate, the audience said "No!"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yoyX6sNEqs …

        @Snowden The answer is always No. Once you are 'debating' this you are in battle with dictators and now this battle is to regain democracy.

        @rachelsitarz @Snowden no because they can then just say "we're looking for" whatever and use it as an excuse.

        @andbhold @WIRED ;-) Stupid article. The comparison is stupid ("Skynet" HAS to be autonomous, that's the point). Also, just slight trolling.

        @broennimann I did get the trolling bit. ;) Just not sure whether your question was on accessing Skynet or whether Skynet should access all.

        @Snowden The Constitution says "yes". It permits government access, but on a case-by-case basis where there is just cause. Sensible approach
