Our enemies have become much more sophisticated. Gathering metadata is no longer adequate. We need a back-door into your new program and a way past the encryptions...
And when that's not enough, you'll want something new. You-You don't get it, do you? Privacy is-is-is freedom. I mean, maybe that's something you should think about defending?
You little prick. You didn't believe in privacy or freedom when we funded your start-up, turned you into a billionaire.
I-I've paid you back many, many, many times over. And I was never comfortable with any of this. I'm out. I'm done selling out our customers.
But you would sell out your country. The truth is, we wouldn't be having this conversation if you didn't feel personally at risk. You talk about a free internet, you tell yourself you're saving the world, but all you're doing is making the internet a much more dangerous place, and you're sure as hell making this country much more difficult to defend. And you are sure as hell accountable for that, Aaron. Accountable.
