The FBI's Comey states all Botnets are bad and should be taken down as they occur. Sounds right to me.
But, the interesting aspect of his testimony today is about encryption services. Some companies that have encryption services receive a judicial warrant for information and the company disables it's ability to comply. That is criminal content. When the FBI reduces it's moment to moment surveillance or meta data accumulation and instead uses the FISA Court or any other court to provide a lawful measure of obtaining information and the company changes it's encryption to sabotage the FBI, that is assisting a potential terrorist. That is criminal.
I think the FBI has to pursue real life consequences already in place to those that seek to sabotage law enforcement.
I don't understand why sabotage of FBI warrants is tolerated. Why is that even considered a valid business model? If the murders of San Bernardino could have been detected and stopped because cooperation and upholding privacy rights in the use of the FISA count is sabotaged, that is assisting terrorists and lone wolves. The FISA courts protect privacy rights. The USA has to have a method of validating dangerous individuals to support an arrest or subpoena. That is our justice system.
Dying in a mass killing has the potential for every American. It seems to me the FBI has the correct focus.
I realize there is a parallel universe that speaks to government and it's overreaching, unlawful behavior and corruption. But, there needs to be a moral point where a benevolent parallel universe DECIDES it needs to be a moral part of the USA's justice system. I don't think sabotaging the FBI and the FISA Court is important to continue to advocate for the people of any country. I do so in the open as an example of the strength of the First Amendment of the USA. I state my thoughts in a heartbeat and am not concerned if that is insulting or otherwise.
Sabotaging a federal national security agency is unlawful. If a community is concerned about wrongful behavior of federal agencies and compromise of civil rights beyond the point of cooperation then there should be punitive measures. I don't want my telecom company to compromise my safety by sabotaging the FBI to obtain information lawfully. That is something every American should find as reprehensible conduct.
I haven't noticed the FBI carrying out mass killings, so I think they are on the right path and should be viewed as legitimate and lawful to make requests. You'll excuse me, but, sabotaging the FBI is hubris. No one should joyful the FBI has been undone by contributing to the ability of an idiot to carry out a mass killing.
Additionally, the FBI was embarrassed with the murders in San Bernardino when statements by the murderers were found in open chat rooms or message boards. The agencies aren't perfect, but, if cooperation increases the longevity of Americans I suggest it needs to be accommodated.
What I find compelling is the lack of concern for those that carry out their own research to head off the attack on civilians of any country. This Senate judicial panel has a singular concern in being sure everything is done within government agencies that can be done. But, the committee grossly neglects the methods of benevolent activities although considered illegal that people of conscience carry out at there own legal peril. Someone needs to correct that. I think the Senate judicial committee needs to be written to in their error of people of conscience or sued for the lack of opportunity this committee has extended to all parties involved in keeping citizens of any country safe. Basically, the FBI and CIA should be interested in allowing such segments of society to conduct their intelligence gathering.
The benevolent people involved in information gathering to stop violence of any country has to be recognized by the US government so they can continue their work without relinquishing their capacity to act. I think that is important and if the US government won't provide such platforms for what would be considered lay people, then they are unhelpful. Most of these individuals/groups conduct their information gathering anonymously. That capacity to be anonymous needs to be upheld when the US government recognizes their legitimate right to exist.

Activist hacking group Anonymous (click here) have declared this Friday, December 11, a "trolling day" against the so-called terrorist group Islamic State (ISIS) as part of its cyber campaign against the militant Islamist group.
In an online message, Anonymous asked people to mock ISIS, or "Daesh" as it is also known in the West (a derogatory term for the group) online as part of its "Operation ISIS" campaign.
"We ask you to show your support and help against ISIS by joining us and trolling them // do not think you have to be part of Anonymous, anyone can do this and does not require special skills."
"We ask you to take part of this on Facebook // Twitter // Instagram // Youtube //In the "Real World," the post on file-sharing website Ghostbin added....
These people are benevolent to the best outcomes of innocent people. There is no reason to inhibit them, ridicule them or incarcerate them.
