[–] tivert 7y ago ↗ > Seems pretty reasonable to me.Yeah, especially in light of the high-profile scandal about Facebook's spy-VPN. I wouldn't want any government employees accessing my social security file over a questionable VPN that might intercept my data for future identity theft. [–] cpitman 7y ago ↗ Yeah, was going to say, Wyden is usually the "Tech" Senator. This request makes perfect sense.
