^ This. Those in power continue to wield it in ways which benefit<br>
themselves rather than all of us. I'm not sure what the entire solution<br>
is, but part of it surely must include being open to scrutiny by the<br>
general public. If there were an equivalent to certificate transparency<br>
logs for our data retention laws and for these proposed technical<br>
assistance requests, you could be sure that they'd be used much more<br>
responsibly and sparingly.<br>
<br>
I would also add that nor is there a brake on the advancement of Silicon<br>
Valley's powers. Imagine if the same public (or near-public) scrutiny<br>
were available for the decisions that large Internet, financial, and<br>
advertising firms make about us...<br>
