  "Many people trust their communication platforms far more than their governments." Don't even trust your communications provider at all. Which I guess that means you don't trust your government to tell you the sky is blue without checking for yourself.

  Re: (layered encryption)

  Yes. Layered encryption is a real thing. Passing data that has already been encrypted by some other method within a VPN tunnel. Or chaining multiple VPN tunnels one inside another. But doing such in a oppressive regime like China probably isn't a good idea... when you a found-out!

  Re: Re: Last day at work....

  Don't need to repeat what I said. It's there for you to read, read again, read again again if need be. None of your business what I do or did for a living. Did my initial post just 'trigger' you? It sure sound like it.

  Last day at work....

  It might be his/her last day at work because of other mis-conduct. Terminated with cause? For whatever reason it was his/her last day that is no good reason to act childishly, ever! My money is on 'Another snowflake melted.'

  Re: Re:

  But that's overlooking bad actor within the 'police'. A point that the person did make. What you would then need is magical encryption that can differentiate good cops from bad cops. Magical unicorns with extreme powers. Unicorns squared. Cosmic unicorns!

  Re: The chiefs can't stop him from returning to duty.

  Please say it isn't so. That makes about as much sense as saying a school district can't consider a prospective PE Coach's past sexual criminal deviancy and whether to hire or not.

One power-tipper gone, but many thousands still in positions of authority.
