Major businesses use encryption all the time, hell I'd use it if I was a CEO to protect my company's trade secrets. There are legitimate uses for encryption, which makes Pompeo's attitude towards encryption even scarier.

Well maybe I know things you don't know or have read things you haven't... guess what i plan to do for a living. Big bear, thinks I'm spreading misinformation, that is not my intention at all I'm just posting my opinion. Big bear attacks me on one hand yet praises me the other for bringing the topic into discussion, which is all I'm really trying to do. I do get carried away with my opinion sometimes but I guess I'm just going have to emphasis that I'm speculating or Big bear is going to come in attack me.

See, another vague response Maybe that is why it feels like you are spreading misinformation, all I have seen so far is vague speculation.
If you know things we don't then why not share them instead of the fear mongering? All I know is there are tons of online drug dealers and buyers large and small who rely on encryption and get away with their illegal business becouse of it. Even if it isn't foolproof (nothing is) I imagine in many cases it is safer then street dealing For a lot of reasons too.

Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

There already are crazy supercomputers out there so until some serious breakthroughs occur I don't see how it matters at all.
Anyways once they become a thing it will only be so long before they become common and or people find ways to exploit them.
You seem to be grasping at straws for reasons why using encryption is sketchy Clearly plenty of people use it safely and get away with tons of things online...
i know from their xkeyscore program that they track people that look into encryption programs... unless you made your keys on a device never connected to a network, there's always a way in, i think zero-day attacks would be what i am thinking of in this instance, but i'm going to need to go back and read up on this stuff.

Well regardless of all the above, these next 4 years are going to be quite a spectacle to behold.. I wonder how this will all play out.. and even then there's no real denying the world as a whole is entering "circus mode". It's anyone's guess..
