You live in Germany right? The "volksverhetzung" you have is fucked up. Hell, Germany even looked into if two or three Facebook bosses broke that law because they did not clean up "racist" comments about the refugee wave last year. So they probably had a warrant because you may have broken that law. We have a similiar law here in Sweden called "Hets mot folkgrupp". It is a bullshit law that can be used against you for speaking your mind, so much for freedom of speech, eh?

The law is called "Incitement to hatred" in English I believe.

Right. Thanks for this good text. The law "Volksverhetzung" is really fucked up. The government can use it against nearly every sentence. You can get up to 12 years of prison if you say "I dont think that the NS regime killed 6 million jews".
I would say something too but i don't know the german laws also not all of them since i am not 100% german just an immigrant here and live in a ghetto where you only need some street laws : 3

I have nothing to hide but it's still none of their god damn business or right to search my computer because of a web browser that I use. I refuse to give up my right to privacy when a whole new threat is slowly growing: the government. Real threats don't go and make huge explosions and then die out; no, they wait there and slowly grow so you're given time to get used to everything being taken away from you. Bit by bit, little by little, your rights are taken away as you're ensured safety, and you idly sit by because you're used to it.

The FBI wants to hack my pc? Luckily I don't use TOR or Bitcoin, but that is illegal according to the Computer Fraud an Abuse act, I have some points that make that law which are the following list below


Wiretap Act a/k/a as “Title III”, which prohibits “any person,” including law enforcement, from making an illegal interception or disclosing or using illegally intercepted material. 18 U.S.C. § 2511(1).

Unlawful Access to Stored Communications: 18 U.S.C. § 2701. Section 2701 focuses on protecting email and voicemail from unauthorized access.

Identity Theft and Aggravated Identity Theft: 18 U.S.C. § 1028A.

Access Device Fraud: 18 U.S.C. § 1029.

CAN-SPAM Act: 18 U.S.C. § 1037

Wire Fraud: 18 U.S.C. § 1343.

Communication Interference: 18 U.S.C. § 1362.

and sincerely, The first point is the one that calls my attention (refer to if it calls your attention too)

Not too sure what your trying to get across @IsThisaNewFLRP? but what I'm guessing you mean is that it's illegal for them to do this. Also, do keep in mind this is happening within the US AFAIK, if it were to happen in the UK then the NCA would get involved.

Anyhow, I agree with Theo. It's more a matter of principle for me, no I'm not doing anything illegal with Bitcoin/Tor (I use both) but just because a fair majority of Bitcoin users use the system for crime related transactions doesn't mean that governments from any country should pursue everyone as there are legitimate uses for Bitcoin and Tor.

Hell, Tor started off as a platform for whistleblowers to share information privately to journalists.

Both services get used by people who are concerned about their privacy also. It's not right for governments just to generalise everyone who use a service they don't like as criminals.

EDIT: Not even sure if you were talking about British laws now but oh well.
