Houston, we have a contradiction


TEXAS UNDER RANSOMWARE ATTACK
20 LOCAL GOVTS HIT

Trump asks Congress to permanently reauthorize NSA's expiring power to access domestic call records



We can't have one without the other. Like a horse and carriage.  Sandbox is taking a hit on this, but it is not our issue. The technology is the same, the ability of an intelligent secure ID to follow the letter of a voluntary contract. The promise is not secure if we leave a backdoor.

Sandboxers can work with the NSA, impose limits on text and bearer assets. But we do not set the ID standards, and we are enjoined in a larger battle, unfortunately. All the big tech companies are stymied on the issue, and forced to hold back, take tiny steps.  Stuck, need a meeting of the elders else rogue tech companies will move forward, and god bless them.
