Only if you look at it in the most general, limited, pov. Are they the same people on corporate greed? Not all, but mostly yes. Are they the same people on encryption? Yes. Are they the same on human rights? Absolutely fucking not. If the only thing important for you is encryption, voting isn't going to change the government's policy decisions. However, if things other than encryption and corporate greed are important, then voting for a Republican is voting against your interests. History is filled with people who can't see past their own fucking biases and look out for the greater interest..... So you have a lot of historical company.
The outcome of the 2024 election, according to the liberal pundits, was that trans-rights and Palestinian liberties cost Harris the election.
Sounds more like the centrists' line.
Dude we're talking about encryption here. Stay on fuckin topic.
I'm just responding to your comment. If you were only talking about encryption, then maybe word your comment more clearly.... Especially if you want to cast aspersions towards other about staying on topic.
The post is about encrypted apps and cyberattacks not human rights violation. By default the topic of conversation is the post.
Isn't a valid use for encrypted apps to protect from human rights violations?
Taking a narrow myopic view leads to single issue voting, and that has caused ridiculous levels of damage to the public.
Technical problems and political problems can be related, and discussing one in the context of the other can be useful.
