Wyden questioned the motives of the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security in supporting this effort. If combating child pornography and sexual abuse of minors is really a priority, why are federal law enforcement bodies dedicated to prosecuting pedophile activity short on manpower and underfunded?
The real motive behind this bill is to increase surveillance of white political dissidents in a time when the liberal order and Jewish power has become fragile.
Recently, debates on encryption in the Judenpress have been led by figures like Rita Katz and Will Bedingfield. Their complaint is that “white supremacists” are migrating to Telegram and other encrypted apps, thus skirting censorship. From May to October 2019, “far-right” Telegram channels increased 117%, from 65,523 to 142,486. Many popular nationalist commentators are rapidly building impressive audiences on Telegram as more and more people are banned from social media or abandon it. The claim is that these groups are “terrorists,’ but nothing is said about how many of the chatrooms featuring people soliciting others to commit crimes are run by undercover FBI agents themselves.
Clearly they don’t believe the “white terrorism” angle, their real motive, is compelling enough to survive public scrutiny when trying to get this law through.
The reason for the mass migration of dissidents to these platforms is due to a dramatic increase in political censorship on Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and beyond. Dissidents from around the world have utilized encrypted chats to coordinate political activity for years, often times with the eager support of American intelligence agencies. Now that Americans and Europeans are responding to tyranny in our own countries in the same way, they want to put an end to this last bastion of private correspondence for good. READ MORE:

Tech companies could aggregate anonymous location data that could be used to map the spread of the coronavirus and determine whether social distancing is an effective virus mitigation strategy. The discussions, and the project, are in the early stages.
Facebook executives have said that the government is interested in understanding the patterns of people’s movements, which can be provided through Facebook data. Facebook has in the past offered this kind of information in the form of disease prevention maps for health researchers, and officials could use the data to predict hotspots and where to allocate health resources.
“We’re encouraged by American technology companies looking to leverage aggregate, anonymized data to glean key insights for COVID-19 modeling efforts,” said an official with the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, who spoke only on condition of anonymity.
Government sources say they are “not building a government database” and that insights gleaned from location data could “help public health officials, researchers, and scientists improve their understanding of the spread of COVID19 and transmission of the disease.”
Multiple tech companies, including Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon, met with White House officials last week, where they were asked to help the government with its response to the growing outbreak. READ MORE:

During Sunday evening’s Democratic debate in Washington, D.C., between former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the coronavirus was a hot topic.
Near the beginning of the debate, moderator Jake Tapper of CNN asked Sanders about how the United States might avoid ending up in the same situation as Italy, where stories have emerged of a massively overburdened health care system.
Bernie: “We don’t have a system… we have thousands of private insurance plans…that is not a system prepared to provide healthcare for all people.” Biden: “That has nothing to do with a crisis. We are at war with a virus. This has nothing to do with copays or anything.” pic.twitter.com/qtuwpi3uXN — The Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) March 16, 2020
“If you were president, right now, what would you do to make sure every sick American is able to get treatment so the U.S. does not suffer the same fate as Italy, where doctors have to decide right now who gets life-saving treatment and who does not?” asked Tapper. – READ MORE
