Just like piracy as in its younger days it was centralized,then it became decentralized ,it wont go away as long as greed and corruption exists ,big tech companies are hard to bring into line already this will send them off shore to the same hide outs as tax havens.Companies big & small will operate only now the game will change .Politicians have alot to answer for.
A world without FREE SPEECH and without the right of COMMUNICATING FREELY PRIVATELY is a WORLDD WITHOUT FREEDOM! The US Constitution is on the SIDE of those who PROTECT PRIVACY and FREEDOM, not on the side of COMMUNIST polititians, who want to HELP the NWO to SLAVE SOCIETY! This SHALL NOT PREVAIL!

I DECIDED to leave FACEBOOK after a few weeks. I had BECOME more interested in Facebook from May to December 2018. I realize you as a business owner MIGHT generate income from users that patronize your LOCAL businesses YET the clientele tends to SPEND more time discussing religions & POLITICS. Bashing TRUMP seems to 🐝 be the NORM. I GROW WEARY of these NEGATIVE discussions. I lived in California for approximately six DECADES. It was BAD when the CLINTONS were in OFFICE but when the OBAMAS were in the OVAL OFFICE... I felt as if I had to walk on eggshells in California. I recall many folks I had met wanted America 🇺🇸 to have our first black president thus their votes. I'd ask the same people if we should vote for a woman next election. By all MEANS; so if we SIMPLY vote a person into OFFICE based solely on color of pigmentation as in skin shades... 😎... Gender as in female or male; or TRANSGENDERS, homosexuality... WHATEVER... I GUESS you can see WHY I had to leave FACEBOOK.
This fight will be between the Government and big Companies like Twitter, Facebook & Google. The public no longer have representatives that work for the people. Freedom of speech has eroded away over the last 30 years. Every group wants something ban that leads to openings in the laws and allows even more bigger holes. We're being attacked on many fronts like this as a "private" citizen.
Technology is not the problem - it never was. It is the people who wield control over that technology that are the real danger. It is the Governments and the powerful Economic & Technology companies worldwide who will have strong encryption - not the citizens. The first law of Government is: Retain power, the second law is: Exercise control over the population. The world has become too complicated, interconected and overcrowded for the average individual to have an effective and significant voice. Welcome to the future.
