I truly believe our politicians are out of touch. Either because they themselves are too old or because they dont understand the underlying concepts.

What truly upsets me is understanding things like USBs and HDDs still exists. So if someone wanted to share "illegal content" completely "offline" it's already possible to do so. How does scanning everyone's personal "letters" help track down people sharing "illegal content" hand to hand.
