@emptywheel I don't deny there are people who--for reasons good and bad--do not trust the government to play by the rules. -
@emptywheel But that should be confronted on it's own terms, not by the confused rhetoric merging that private value with scientific facts. -
@Susan_Hennessey What does this mean? "confused rhetoric merging that private value with scientific facts" -
@emptywheel The private belief that government can't be trusted with the "science" argument that any access is backdoor, all access alike. -
@Susan_Hennessey Also do you scare quote the word "science" when talking about climate change? -
@emptywheel No. False equivalency. I believe many of tech's arguments, primarily that any mechanism introduces theoretical risk. -
@emptywheel Where I see ideological conflation is then being told there is no way to evaluate or manage a risk, or all risks are the same. -
@Susan_Hennessey ISn't LE doing same? Pretending no way to solve crimes except for access to nifty new tools they didn't use to have? - 13 more replies
