Getting access to one individual is just a small chunk of whole thing. I am not sure if you watched documentary 'Zero Days' based on Stuxnet. These are all very powerful organizations which can actual break down whole country in the event of cyber war.

National security is one thing but how accountability can be ensured that is nowhere to be seen yet.

But of course, whenever the governments want to violate our privacy again and again and again, they do it to protect us from their imaginary terrorists. The usual scare tactics that work marvels against the sheeplings. I'm extremely disappointed by Canada, they're supposed to be an example for freedom, liberty and human rights, yet they go along with such practices that violate the essence of what they preach, cuz Murrica said so.

Use independent and open source tools to encrypt your sensitive and private data. VeraCrypt (previously TrueCrypt) has been my friend for a long time.

They want to control all of us. but it also true that they can't even control their So called Security Agencies "while these agencies leak every fuc**** tool to Hackers"

Don't Know what Level of encryption and security it is.

I have been thinking about this as well as I have thought that the rise of decentralized solutions have gotten the interest of many people I could imagine the major government have seen this as a threat. It is not everyday that citizens can fijd solutions to be totally free from their control and they would to keep it that ways so I feel it is no too surprising. Unfortunate but not surprised.

Who has actually log a compliant against it though. I hear a lot of complaining yet zero action.

Your ... Steem wallet... will be easy pickings for anyone with access to the tools and know how.

How would you propose one places a secret back door in an open source project like steem?

I don't propose anyone puts a secret backdoor in anything.

My misread then, sorry. Didn't mean to put words in your mouth.

I was pretty clear in the post I am not a fan of this and always have defended privacy. I work in the security industry, this direction scares me.
