Yeah I'm pretty active hear and I'm proud of my polarizing opinions because seeing the same views over and over is boring.

did not say anything about encryptions as anyone really wanting true encryption writes their own cipher program

No, that's a terrible idea.

Encryption is incredibly complex and in order for it to be deemed safe it has to go through rigorous testing.

It's not something you want to mess around with.

with not even 1 word why

you came and told i was wrong with not even an opinion to explain your point 

I linked the video which you obviously did not watch even after I explained that it contained a good explanation of my reasoning, so I guess I'll type it out now:

  • What is legal or illegal now can and does change over time, so that data could easily be used against you in the future even if you don't worry about it at the moment
  • If that data leaks, it could be used by other countries in other places with different laws, or by criminals for whatever they want
  • It can and is used by these companies (or even individual employees with access to it) for whatever they feel like, which may or may not be what you'd like it to be used for, and you have little if any power over this, or even the knowledge that they're doing it

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

my biggest complaint is the law agencies useing criminals technique to enter and monitor my devices with out a court order just so they can probe to see if it is worth asking for warrent/courtorder

why i record my net logs minus video and audio data (eats 7gb a day sometimes but its a record none the less)

what? xD So what illegal things are you doing then? /s

Really though... how can you go from " if you do no crimes you have 0 to worry about with tracking " to this when they're completely opposing views?

Its sad that this is expected of Google and yet people are ok with using their services as if they weren't blatantly lying to you. 

you say that like there's an option that doesn't do that... the only way not to be tracked is to live off the grid and never use the internet or phones (including landlines)

I asked rhetorically to point out the hypocrisy of you saying "if you do nothing wrong you have nothing to hide" and then a page later saying how you hate people snooping on you

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!
