The first time I installed a keylogger was to snipe my dad’s AOL password so I could turn off parental controls on my account.

Put any problem between teenagers and porn and they will solve it in an efficient and repeatable way.

I love these bills because it’s gonna create a second generation of hackers.

I'm hoping that this kind of thing explodes VPN usage, thus training a generation to actually be far harder to track and surveil than otherwise, achieving the very opposite of the true objective of such bills.
