AG Barr to Facebook: We need 'lawful access' to users' digital messages to fight crime.

how they would achieve the end goal that they seek through federal law or executive authority, and there has been no substantive movement in Congress.

Thursday’s letter has been met with resistance by Silicon Valley, including from the Computer & Communications Industry Association, an advocacy group of tech firms, including Facebook. “Strong encryption is increasingly vital to the privacy and security of individuals, national security and economic prosperity,” Ed Black, CCIA’s president, said in a. “Companies should be encouraged to develop and employ the security standards that the public expects for their devices and online activity. ”

Meanwhile, in recent weeks, a host of technical and legal experts convened by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peacethat there should eventually be some middle ground on the issue and encouraged advocates to continue to find a meaningful solution to the vexing problem. “Cybersecurity advocates should not dismiss out of hand the possibility of some level of increased security risk, just as law enforcement advocates should accept that they may not be able to access all of the data they seek,” they wrote.

attorneygeneral Does the Justice Department really assume every single American is a criminal to be spied on?

Trump needs more Stooges

well there is a list of target words which actually allow law enforcement to then snoop.. like.. kill, hurt, bomb etc.

Dictatorship is starting.

This rings hollow. A toxic burning dumpster fire of crime & corruption is in the White House, and Barr just grins and shrugs his shoulders, personally chasing right wing conspiracy theories overseas. But he wants to read citizens private text messages, because that’s important.

This guy is a straight up fascist.

Hello_world There_are_people_Making Revolution_now_in_iraq ! Show_your_support_for_the right_of_Iraq_people_to protest_peacefully Save_the_Iraqi_people HELP_Iraq saveIraqipeople

As a user - no way. It violates the 1st Amendment

No, AGBarr, you don't 'need' access to users' digital messages....you *WANT* access, and it has nothing to do with crime. Big difference.

That'll be a no. And anyone in Congress that authorizes the dystopian nightmare will be summarily voted out. 1984 isn't a fucking manual

i saw throw the entire admin in the trash. Fresh clean start.

They better not. I will delete mine.

America need full access to his whole life history.

Phooey to AG Barr

Barr is the criminal

😄MZ: “They trust me.” fuggetaboutit

then get a warrant

Oh 🙄 nobody so this coming. LouiseMensch JamesFourM ninaandtito LincolnsBible kelly2277

No, what they want is the ability to silence their critics!

Facebook should develop its own cyber police to defend against criminals and criminal networks. We don't need the government in our business to intimidate, cover-up for crooks and threaten people more.

Republicans: “BuT tHe DemOcraTS JuSt WanT To TaKE aLL OuR fReEdoMs” 🤡🤡

Wow. No they don't need access to private citizens messages. Enough with spying on our own people! Get a damn warrant if you need to see someone's private communications.

All the more reason to delete Facebook.

“Crime”

I can hear the collective shrill of Republicans and conservatives from Main to California had Obama ever had the stones to try a stunt like this.

You can have all of mine you want!

The guy is the criminal

And yet Republicans are apoplectic at the thought of universal background check to buy an assault rifle.

The Three Greatest Lies Of All Time: 1) I promise I won't put it all the way in. 2) I'm from the Government & I'm here to help you. 3) We need 'lawful access' to users' digital messages to fight crime.

Impeach this useless lawyer against his oath of office he’s gone rogue he should go to jail like Mitchell and he’s worse

AG Barr is one who would need to be shadowed, in order to keep him from misusing information for political misuse! He has no credibility left in reserve.

As usual...it will be abused...to fight crime

If you need a professional hacker who can hack into any social media Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, twitter, Skype DM me or contact me on this number +19788270191 or Whatsapp

So much abnormal activities going on that its hard to keep up. I have never seen so many traitors to this country. There is an agenda that is not good for this nation. We have a corrupt government in unprecedented measures. I am really wondering if the institution can hold up

It’s 2016 all over again when Facebook forked over user data to Cambridge so the it could weaponized by ComradeTrumps campaign to steal the Presidential election! BarrTheShyster told FB, trust me, I wouldn’t do that.

But doesn't mind cushner or Donnie Jr using whatsapp, which has end to end as well.. Hmmmm. Not Sayn to them to get off those messaging apps are your barr-e boy

We need to ImpeachTrumpPenceBarr

It isn't about fighting crime. It is about digging dirt on political rivals.

Yeah, it’s called a “warrant.”

TYRANNICALintrusiveVIOLATORS IS DATA STEALING OUR PHONE DATAfromCELLTOWERS usin Tyrannical Stingray Devices&other spyin devices those idiots b'n n Gas Planes&Helicopters&using drones&droneplanes Taxpayers moneyWASTEDon get themBANNEDfrom Aircraft&using drones

So laughable. Kick rocks, dude.

We need privacy laws

FOH with this bullshit

Facebook to Barr RESIGN you corrupt sob!!

evacide nails it

Classic.

NO- WE NEED A AG THAT UPHOLDS THE LAW...NOT BREAK IT. NEED A NEW AG. PERIOD, NOT A TOAD

This is against our right to privacy. It starts like this and it will get abused

They want to change USA to a dictatorship

Fascist.

Why is this story recycling? I’ve been seeing this headline with this image for a week now.

It's called a search warrant,

Basically he wants a backdoor into WhatsApp. This should horrify people around the world. It's not about crime, it's about social control. Snowden warned us.

Razztawesome Brownsgr43

gagripin Close the accounts

but isn't it trump's position as well as that of his supporters, that these institution are not trustworthy. didn't a republican senator articulate that sentiment as recently as today.

Hell no.

Anybody who didn't see this coming is a Democrat!

I think FB should become a paid service then they can’t screw around . As long as we don’t pay anything, we are subjected at thier mercy.

Then talk and figure it out...idiots

A violation of the Fourth Amendment. This AG cannot be trusted to defend the Constitution.

Bullshit.

I'm looking for certain people worldwide that Are seriously Looking To Learn How To Trade in the Largest Financial Market in the World Called the Foreign Exchange Market! (Forex) I'm only Looking for people that Are Serious About increasing Their Income.Reply for more info

What could go wrong? 🤷🏻‍♂️

jaynya13 Boycott FB. Delete your account

That’s a no for me VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

If they do I'm shutting Eeerrrrr thing down.

The guy who has been jetting around the world trying to bribe foreign governments to repeat conspiracy theories back to us so they can claim they’re real would like access to your DMs. The only person stopping him would sell you into slavery to make a nickel. Sleep tight.

America needs a lawful president and Ag

🖕🖕🖕

Stay out muh DMS ! FFS THAT'S THOUGHT CRIME ! IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE ?

We NEED lawful men in position that work for this Country NOT a corrupt president!

gagripin Since when are they interested in fighting crime instead of committing it? TheJusticeDept attorneygeneral realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse

What crime.

That man is a criminal...plain and simple. Giving him anything other than prison time would be a disgrace.

They need info? Heck we can't get info from DOJ To investigate or clear charges against Trump. Kind of a double standard.

Least trustworthy administration wants more access to my personal information. I’m sure their intentions are responsible and not at all as despotic as every other thing they do.

NO!!!!! Will get off of FB....

🧐

Why is no one in the media covering THIS horrifying idea?

Need to find the nut jobs.

In any other administration this would be a potential scandal.

I am told Huawei was snitching on me, but it’s Facebook and iPhone doing all the abuses.

What would that toad know about lawfulness?

No to gather lists of dissidents and prosecute them.

Bullshit !

Barr is really not the poster boy for “lawful” anything

Focus on fighting the crimes being committed out of the White House FIRST!!!

How about lawful access to Trump's tax returns and bank records? What about Kushner's illegal use of encrypted messaging? Pompeo's team also used encrypted messaging which is illegal

$500 says they wouldn’t use it legally

And who’s going to listen in on you. Get out of here.

Hail Trump comrade Barr

Onlooker’s perspective: These folks are truly horrible... Real doubts as to whether that country can ever be great again - which, with all its faults (and there’s no perfect country or person, except maybe the self-proclaimed YKW), it was... Sad!

Facebook should t give this criminal shit.

Hey AG your as CORRUPT as your client!!!! WhiteHouse GOP nytimes washingtonpost CNN realDonaldTrump

Lawless Barr wants access to my info? Hell no!

You have to be trustworthy for that and they are disqualified.

This guy needs to go

What is lawful access?

Lawful? Does he know the meaning of the word? This disgrace wants to invade our privacy to benefit Donald Trump and attack those who do not bow to the dictator

But, but I thought they didn’t want more government?

Best answer to this issue is to inform these institutions that encryption is acceptable. However, they must provide the information required by court order. If they aren't willing to do that then they can not operate under any circumstances and shut them down completely.

No you don’t.

SpeakerPelosi needs to impeachAGBarr

We need AG Barr be non political but bring true justice to America instead of covering up Trump’s repeatedly crimes..,

No he doesn’t. Get a warrant if you have sufficient cause otherwise hands off my social media accounts. In other words, follow our Constitution. 🤬

I’m afraid this controversial figure is not referring only to Americans users. Evil is running free and winning big.

BARR Should Begin Fighting CRIME in TheWhiteHouse

Illegal. Barr is full of shit.

Oh hell to the no

Facebook would crash instantly. People will run like the Exodus from the Pharaoh's land

Isn’t ironic that AG Barr is also protecting a president that fought over having a phone conversation disclosed, tax returns released? Sooooo.... regular citizens give up their DMs but full presidential investigations are totally worthless? 🤔🤔🤔 the irony of it all...

Does this guy ever STOP EATING? WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump

And your worried about your guns....

Donald J Trump, Don Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump have all been involved in international business dealings before and during the Trump presidential administration. Give me a break . Trump family equals king of corruption. Press/media talks about Bidens? REAL FAKE NEWS

DAB4Pres Barr is another criminal that will need to go, once my administration is in the oval office. Time for a peoples president. VOTE DAB4Pres

How about you he starts investing Trump

Digital watergate era with trump, or does AG see criminals doing selfies during crimes

They trying to dictate get allthosr crooks outta here.

Extremely dangerous request! To fight crime or to monitor and control political opposition? tRump and party are not to be trusted! If it is adopted as law I will close my account!

No they don’t

B.S. he wants access to the accounts of people who do not wish to cozy up to Trumpian bribes & treasonous behavior.

Nope.

Good bye Facebook

We demand privacy! Criminals will always find a way but the people deserve protection from government snooping in our conversations.

U FellowAMERICANcivilianPEOPLEneed2start suing&GETTINGprosecuted THESE TyrannicalINTRUSIVEviolatorsOtownCITYcoSTATE National levels TyrannicalBREAKINGn2our SocialMediaAccts TYRANNICALspyingONus&also n real time also Data stealing our PhoneData from CellTowers

In other words they’ve been accessing them illegally and need a way to legalize it.

Why? The biggest criminal is right in front of you. Start with him.

Let’s do it! Great way to incriminate the guy you work for. 😉

OMG!!! Massive lie!!! Too gain an campaign edge illegally is more like it!!! They lost Bannon and Analytica...

We need and deserve a lawful AG.

What could possibly go wrong?

Barr should be in jail for corruption with a Trump.

naw.

You can start with realDonaldTrump

Bigger brother pushing his way in. Reject him and his despotism

If AG Barr wants to fight crime, he should start with the White House. It’s a crime that I can’t stop texts from a source asking for money for the president.

B.S.

No you don't.

This guy is a criminal.

Since when is Barr worried about fighting crime

What!! He’s insane

You mean trump wants access to Facebook private messages

Our Attorney General Barr Needs Lawful Access to Users Digital Messages to Avoid This Riiiiiiiiiiiiight Here 👇

Bullshit

“Through counter intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential troublemakers and neutralize them”

How bout we get a proctologist lawful access to this fat boy’s colon and jam a copy of the Constitution up there...

“We need to effectively spy on law abiding citizens”

NateluvsAmerica 👀

Suggest Barr go to hell and take Trump with him, that and keeps his dirty hands off of expressions of free speech. What a little piggy he is.

Yes sir! Right away 😂

“Fight crime” suddenly he’s Batman...a corrupt AF Batman

OK, Adolph

Another good reason to leave Facebook, as if we needed it.

Me to AG Barr: Go eff yourself.

Already do it's called get a warrant when there is probable cause. Don't need anything else

F that!

No you don't that is against law of privacy

Oh HELL no! ImpeachTrumpPenceBarrPompeo

Oh, yes. Suddenly, CoverUpCzarBarr is going to fight crime. Yeah, right after the CriminalInChief resigns. *uckerberg is shady enough to allow him to do it, too.

No you don’t

randy_kelle Is the USA now officially an dictatorship ?

He gives a shit about “lawful” anything?

Seriously? I hope he’s referring to trump her🤦🏻‍♀️

AprendizDelBabo

No you don't you should be jailed

AG likes to nag

Like he could he trusted with that information.

Not mine. I'll just message myself with 'Barr loves donkey porn' daily so if they look through it they will have a laugh.

Anyone who would give up a little freedom to gain a little security deserves neither, and will lose both.

I wonder if using, this as a criminal thing, somehow leads to using it to find out what average citizens are doing.

Distraction and Deception of the Neo Con Corp Socialist Regime... damageControl of the impeachmentInquiry go get em Democrats

We need to get Trump & Barr & the rest of the most corrupt administration in the history of America to fight real crime.

Laws written by whom? Your lawless group of Trump protectors or the Congress of the US? No nation supporting and protecting their people needs to have access to everyone's messages. Please notice how China is doing on this front. They are crushing dissent.

Because all the greatest crimes start on Facebook

I can't wait for AI boy will that be interesting.

Trump already has Twitter in his Pocket Now he wants Facebook!

Sure. Just not mine.

The more the state knows about people the more control they can exercise over them. The best way to fight crime is to make criminals pay. Prison work, no release until criminals repay any damages or hurt, dont give a sentence in time but in monetary value.

The Coup continues.

Does Cambridge come to mind for anyone? You know ones who weaponized Facebook data to help ComradeTrump steal the 2016 Presidential election!

I understand if someone is under a criminal investigation, with a warrant.

Not until you show us trumps convos with foreign leaders first

No you don't . Read past the 2nd amendment , it's in the .... oh I forgot . Nevermind .

Fox: imma need in dat chickenhouse Farmer: no

Time to stop Facebook! Lol! Others don't care their privacy, but I do cherish mine.. insane, they think they can just invade people's lives.. wow!

Get rid of all the fake crap on Facebook first.

... but no 'criminal KGB-style barrings'

Lawful and Barr in the same sentence (again) is still a stretch.

Yeah right. Barr is the most corrupt AG in the history of this country, DO NOT give him access.

Says a criminal. 😂😂

Big (fat) Brother!

Fake AG

AND MOST PEOPLE WILL STOP USING SOCIAL MEDIA, EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT

LE just wants to bust illegal immigration & petty crimes & have unfettered access as if it is their right. FB encrypt. They won't be helping trafficking. That is clear.

1984...

Did Barr just say “lawful”? He has no concept of what that term means. TheJusticeDept certainly needs a new AG. How about an honest one this time.

Ya well NOT going to happen

Gee, why doesn't Mr. I-Be-Crooked Barr tell Facebook to stop allowing misleading and false political ads by tRump and the GOP, while he's at it? At least that would serve the people's best interest, not tRump's...

You first, Barr.

In other words AG Barr wants to spy on citizens like a communist Dictator!

No. No they don’t.

I NOTICED. Hell has you as goal and history explain it uses and reuses many routes. 'How I got away from Hell' I got away from majority of liars 100%, I HAD I NEED CLEAR, Mountains supplied. HEAVEN OPENS MY IQ as I am able to handle. GOD KNOW ME BEST, AND BETTER THAN mankind. SO

Zuckerberg will quietly role over and show his belly on this issue.

Yes. Lawful access is through a proper judge-signed warrant based on vetted probable causes & evidence, not based on lies like a bought and paid for bogus Steele dossier nor on a faked whistle-blower complaint based on 3rd or 4th-hand rumored info.

Barr is a large 💩 screwing up the plumbing of 🇺🇸

NO LIARS, WHERE BE CRIME? IN FOOL, JUST FOOL. LIAR LIVES IN FOOL. Need so much evidence, truth gone 'DUNCE'? Lie to myself, lesson NUMB ER 2many. YES TRUTH, Where Be FREE? FREE OF LAWS. Liars Block & Ticket, their BUCKLE U$ Down. Liars Legacy, Read their codes? Liars Ask, BEATme

We need trustworthy leaders first. ImpeachBarr

He is just trying to keep his boss out of prison any way he can. He wants a list of those who object to his methods who he can go after.

Monster

What a load of BS...Barr can go pound sand!

Lawful as defined by whom ? Trump, you, Kavanaugh ?

AG Barr is corrupt. I wouldn't trust him with access to anything. CriminalInChief BarrIsAPoliticalHack

Fascism

We need access to so-called AG William Barr's EVERYTHING to fight his crimes. He commits more crimes seemingly every day.

AGBarr

Encryption is either encryption ot it’s not. Backdoor access isn’t encryption. Our government doesn’t exist above The People, it exists to serve. Blanket spying on a population is exactly what government should never be allowed to do.

it's called going to a judge and getting a Warrant.

Like WhatsApp messages between government employees?

There is nothing lawful related to bar or his endeavors.

Oh ffs 😠😠 Release everything that you have access to in regards to the impeachment inquiry and then maybe we'll talk. Until then, eff off.

Over my dead body would they get access to any of my accounts..

We need to have you out of that office and install someone whose honest and not a trump lover.

I wouldn't give Barr access to a public bog, he's dodgy!

PamelaPatriot Ya, like I trust him to be ethical.

Sure you do....to fight crime. Ah huh.

GFY criminal

Never used FB. Never will. Guess I will delete Instagram now also.

We need you to resign so we can fight crime.

JennaKe33788915

You can have that after you do the job you are assigned to do. No where in your job description does it say you are the Presidents personal lawyer. You are supposed to make sure everyone in the USA follows all the laws of the land. I personally think you suck at doing your job.

Dictators wanting to take away freedoms!

Just a matter of time before trump throws Barr under the bus lol

When has AG Barr done anything that suggests he can be trusted with that kind of information?

The devil teaching moral clases!

He wants access not to fight crime but to check the weather on how his daddy Trump is failing amongst the people...

OH MY!! Now they're going to START an ATTACK On Our FREE SPEECH!!! THEY'RE SKIPPING SOCOALISM AND RACING Toward A SCORCHED EARTH EFFORT to Drive US STRAIGHT into FASCISM and COMMUNISM (a Political Theory derived from Karl Marx advocating Class War leading to a society of

No they don’t.

rich3438 Why not say to spy on them? You crook

Bart has an issue understanding what “lawful” is.

AG Barr is yet again off his rocker.

AG BARR & FACEBOOK need to show us Javanka’s illegal emails!

Nope.... it’s to manipulate voters and find out who and where to enact voter suppression.....🖕

You don’t know the meaning of the word lawful!

Quit Facebook. Then it’s over.

That's the day I run over this device with my 14 year old corolla on my way to Canada.

It's not like like really need it, but Barr would like to make life easier for Russia by supplying them with the back doors to every encrypted messaging service. What better place to start than with Facebook who'll do or say just about anything to protect their bottom line.

Barr needs to be impeached🤣

Nope.

No. F**king. Way.

Bullshit

This is how Hitler worked.

Code for we need to identify our political enemies within the US to tareget and eradicate them

Well if I was a criminal or you have probable cause. But,damn y’all don’t give shit up so why should we ! Transparency my Ass!

Tell me again it's ridiculous to delete your Facebook account.

Me to AG Barr: EABOD 🖕🏼

Nope.

😳

Nope

Ah, no

I already gave permission for President to review with no response

AGBarrStepDown Barr should not be allowed to have any information, there should be so much investigating him, all his corrupt doings including how he is disappearing the Epstein evidence InvestigateTrumpsEnablerBarr

First Amendment, is Lawful! JAIL the RACIST DIRTY HAND!

Get a warrant

facebook Not this AG, he is Corrupt he wants to use it like the Stalin regime used comments to go after citizens. ABC CBSNews CNN NBCNews SpeakerPelosi SenateDems HouseDemocrats

BULLSHIT!

Barr commands the entire DOJ, he is as dangerous , if not more , than Trump is

No. He doesn't.

Wow, really? So, the critiques of his boss will easily be criminalized for exercising their freedom of speech?

While the Trump phone conversations with foreign adversaries conspiring against the US are concealed

bmangh This would put the nail in FB fir most of us

Just another attempt by these platforms to shield criminals from prosecution. Sexual preditors, human traffickers, terrorists, etc. will be able to operate freely and without fear of getting caught.

Hey, Barr! Check Twitter too. There is some maniac there committing numerous crimes and attempting to destroy a once great country.

No we don’t

Janeeko7777 Nazi fascist!!

Isn’t that like reading people’s personal mail ?

I agree with Zuckerberg that it’s a bridge too far to start breaking up technology companies. But I disagree with any activity by someone with Zuckerberg’s power that would risk our freedom by getting Trump re-elected. He is without a doubt more tyrant than leader of freedom.

DavidSjoblomUSA

hahahaha . . ☆☆☆☆☆J A I L☆☆☆☆☆

we need 'lawful access' to all the redacted documents they keep, when will we get the same access they demand of us?

And there goes 'free speech' and our general freedoms.

Oh please! Barr wants to scrub WhatsApp of all the Ukraine/Rudy and kushner posts.

Pardon me-who is fighting crime?

F this illegitimate AG. He needs to be disbarred. Immediately. GOPComplicitTraitors

One more reason to delete Facebook

No you dont.

“We need lawful access to users digital messages. We are moving deeper into 1984.

Nope Barr. Privacy act. You need to go to jail Barr.

BS......we need access to his texts, etc to see how unAmerican he is

No. No. No.

Big brother....

Would you trust this guy to follow the law

Nope!

llmich What WE THE PEOPLE need is for this political hack to be impeached with trump! ImpeachBarrAndTrump

That line of thinking is suspect under this regime, oops I mean Administration!

Total BS

Lawful? Remove the “L” and that about sums up the job he’s doing

Oh hell no u don’t the only reason one would ever need that is so one could hold people hostage black male people u are as crooked a person as DT the only person you’re serving in ur current capacity🤬😡

Let’s see how Zuckerberg responds to his master.

I demand access to Barr’s phone calls, emails, and texts no questions asked

There it is. They need access to digit messages of users to make false accusations against those who denounce Trump.

Yes facebook give them that and watch the stock crash and mass exit from you.

No you don’t. Unless it can be used against you!

'and we need the right to break any law we feel like to get reelected & run gray & black propaganda.' Trump Crime Family Zuckerberg: 'ok' Changes rules

Helllllllll noooo... I am just supposed to trust Barr? I am ok with apple not having a back door ito a locked phone... This is the same thing.

No we don’t, you might think we do, however we don’t

I think he forgot the air quotes when he said “fight crime”.. CorruptAG CannotTrustBarr NoJusticeUntilBarrImpeached

. The gauntlet has been thrown.

Lol

Why in hell would anyone trust Bill Barr with access to Facebook messages?

You're all disturbingly crazy

Just one more move towards authoritarian government.

'Fight crime' = track down every whistleblower, resister, activist, and ordinary citizen who dares criticize this President.

What does he know of the law?

This is Trumps idea from a year ago.

As we descend deeper and deeper into a totalitarian state...

Not comforting when the AG 'suggests' FB give up access to information on private citizens.

Not gonna happen! You are a criminal so...

sorry FB It's time to leave Facebook. Close accounts. This is what they understand. Facebook is on the dark side of the Internet. It's a long story. As far as I know Microsoft is still among the shareholders. Might have forgotten about it.

He only wants access to see who opposes Trump and his agenda.... kinda like they did when they were “hunting communist “ years ago....

I’m seeing a significant exodus from facebook if Zuckerberg bows down to this

You mean like we need the GOP legally subpoenaed messages, got it

Barr wouldn't know how to do anything lawful if his life depended on it.

Nope. Barr is a puppet and doing tRumps biding.

Ok, when we get see trumps tax returns. Deal?

If they want to invade/destroy my right to privacy, release Trump’s tax returns first.

Oh yeah, they’d never dream of abusing THAT power...

F that! NO they don’t.

No no no

Barr should start off going after Russia, Facebook and Twitter, Democrats are not your enemy unless your a friend of Trump

Eff u. You're gonna be leaving anyway.

Yeah? All users or just the ones Barr has a vendetta against?

👎

Does it mean America becomes 'Russia'?!

Barr and trump are at the same level criminally speaking.

How about starting with POTUS....we’ll check in with you later and look forward to your progress report...👀

Studying is good for the Barr!

Yeah, it'd be great if Barr was actually AGAINST crime...

Like I would trust this crook.

Lolol. Barr thinking. “Now, how do I get out of this one” you could have had a wonderful retirement . But no. Jail is not so wonderful.

I agree when it comes to terrorism, but to think how democrats would abuse that like they did FISA warrants to spy on political opponents and private US citizens for political reasons only, I would have to say NO!

He is one of the criminals we need to worry about

Oh HELL NO!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

HB work on Cabinet members email/WhatsApp msg’s instead, some cases there for sure! Cult45 RussianAssets CorruptGOP Impeach45

Then go through lawful process, Deputy Dog. Subpoena. FISA. God...so many tools...but this tool wants to get info without the burden of that pesky due process under LAW. LawAndDisorder

Don't trust AG Barr. Where do I sign to opt out?

Then he should get a warrant for each specific instance. That's how it's done.

He means he needs access to users’ data so Trump can use it to micro target like they did in 2016. Instead of stealing the data in 2016, they’re simply asking for it now. Given the amount of times Zuckerberg meets with Trump & then changes FB policy to appease, he’ll prob abide

Do not trust Barr

When we get a fair and impartial AG then maybe! Barr is neither!

Start with your president

You go right ahead and give them access, then the next thing I'll do is close my account. By the way is that not NSA's job to police the internet.

Hell No!

Shidddd...

Then get a subpoena.

Hope an asteroid lands on this corrupt bastard

If Barr gets his way, lawyer up. How do you make lawful that is fundamentally unlawful?

He wants to break your 4th Amendment Right to Privacy.

Hey Barr how about releasing the other missing 20 minutes of trump’s phone call to Ukraine. That would be a good start to fight crime

Time to close my Facebook as account!

Barr spelled'Trump's enemies' wrong.

How else can they start locking up people who disagree with our Supreme leader

The world to AG Barr: 'We need lawful access to White House and State Department documents to fight crime. '

Lol “RepUBliCanS wAnT ‘SMaLl GoVErnMeNt.’” reddit Republican DNC GOP

Uh, no! Get a warrant.

NO, NO, NO!!! I think AG Barr and other Trump appointees routinely demonstrate why DOJ access should never be granted. Anyone involved in politics or controlled by politicians can not be trusted.

Why don’t you just break the law like you did in the past and no one went to Jail for it

No.

Barr’s primitive view of lawfulness!!!

Any Government seeking this power should be viewed with suspicion as to their real motives - with the Trump Government it is clear there would be wholesale misuse of the information at every level.

People with more integrity than Bill Barr: -used car salesmen -ambulance chasing lawyers -payday lenders -drug company execs -lobbyists -telemarketers

No, you don't ... not the way you and trump want to weaponize 'your need to know'! No way no how. You do it on a case by case basis with Presumption of Innocence , due process ; the 5th.

voters do not need the most corrupt cop in America sticking his nose in their private affairs/. ag barr bad cop/.

We need an AG who isn't corrupt.

We hate your boss, is all you need to know.

You Crone..your late night activities are finally catching-up with you..what? only tweeter..Facebook..doesn't have fake news..

BS! Facebook already undermined over 2B users privacy!!!! Text, pics,voice recordings! NOW THEY CARE? I call bullocks on highest level!!! But p2p encryptions is vital for any “new company” thinking about creating a messenger app!!!

Yeah, no.

The president of the united states is using social platforms to spread more misinformation than any campaign in history using tax payers dollars to do so

To all you guys tonguing this guys sack...thinking he going to be something different... He’s just as “Deep State” as ANY Obama CIA of FBI crony.

4th Amendment. Get a warrant. There is already a judicial process for this.

Remember when Snowden open to us that federal government unlawfully collects all our internet communication ? We the people are still waiting for the apology.

This administration is the exact opposite of democracy. TrumpCult

Barr want the Federal government to have access to all of our personal information to build up a federal database on each of us. Can you imagine what Trump could do with that kind of information. Look what he’s doing with the little information he has on Hunter Biden.

cmarinucci We need lawful access to lawless Trump's chats with Putty Bro and other such types.

The beginning of the end!

Remember, William Barr was an active campaigner to help shield the agents at Ruby Ridge.

No, you don’t. Especially when you have been hiding all data from congress.

Otherwise known as spying on the opposition. Can you say Big Brother?

Bull....

For retaliation is what he really means. WB is not a man of integrity

....because that's what Roy Cohn would do.

TheWarMonitor Define crime. Well if it’s shaking down foreign presidents, yes. If it’s the rest of us, wasn’t that what Prism did?

kozusa22 This shit is crazy

MR, BARR: THAT should go for TWITTER TOO..

You first,buddy.

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Lawful and Barr should not be used in the same sentence.

Is he joking He has PROVEN he CANNOT be trusted, but he wants to be greenlighted to further abuse his authority all in the name of ‘America’. He must be fully confident that he’s even going to be around.. the chutzpah

AG Barr’s father was a close colleague of the late, disgraced child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. AG Barr covers for Trump’s crimes and can not be trusted

He is a criminal.

Authoritarians always claim their demand for control and rejection of privacy is 'in the best interests of society.' Remember this POS is currently claiming trump does not have to answer questions from congress, but he want to read my personal messages.

It’s called a warrant. Get one.

save_the_iraqi_pepole

You of all officers of the court should know you already have a means it is called a warrant issued by a court. Any authority more than that is an attempt to gain access to personal information for political reasons

Sure you do.. I'll give Trump access to my computer when he gives me access to his and yours !

Freightening on so many levels

This is only feasible if all law enforcement officers are honorable, non bias, and law abiding. Clearly not going to be the case as there are bound to be bad apples within the agency. Barr himself is hardly even a credible example of an independent chief prosecutor.

User to Barr: Go home please! A 69 year old over the hill utility law atty. A paunchy old guy with delusions of power. Oh yes, and he kicked his good friend, Bob Mueller under the bus. He disgraces the legal profession.

Time to disconnect from Facebook and other social media completely

'Actually, we need to be able to troll for people that post criticism of the Orange Menace.'

Nope.

U and Zuck are dirty

Isn't that a invasion of privacy unless the person gives permission

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing who and where

Including his and realDonaldTrump ImpeachTheMF

ladyjaka22 He is wanting to find ppl against trump probably to jail them

We need an AG who is lawful.

Start with Trumps server.

MyKidsMomBB8 Nope

That’s how they’ll target critics

Ummmmmmm-no way.

NO. Disgusting that are DOJ is led by this liar. He happily undermines our rule of law/constitution to support an IllegitWH. Greed&Corruption Russia Ukraine GOPCashout DisbarBarr

The Congress needs lawful access to the trump cabal's messages to fight crime.

damonbethea1 A Law to fight crime. I guess we need to get rid of him and Donald Trump alone with Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo

He misspelled 'commit'

Believe me, no o e wants any more authority in Barr’s hands.

HEY William Barr.....🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

This along with a report Trump wants a state run News channel. Are we even American anymore?

That happens and everyone deletes FB.

You need to be impeached .

No

Fishing for perps is an invasion of privacy. If they have just cause and a warrant, that's another story

Yeah right

Start with Twitter instead. See user account: realDonaldTrump

How do we fight his criminal acts?

We have that law! BUT we also have a LAW IN OUR CONSTITUTION THAT YOU CAN NOT LOOK IN OTHER COUNTRIES FOR DIRT ON A POLITICAL OPPONENT! They JUST DON'T SEEM TO COMPREHEND THAT TRUMP SPIT ON THE CONSTITUTION AGAIN! AND THEY ARE ALL ENABLING HIM!

Gee, just do what Obama did and ask them and they'll give it to you...OH WAIT! You meant legally! Sorry Mr. Barr.

Lazy.

Trump government attempting to build backdoors. They love framing the argument: give up your privacy to protect children. Instead of: parents do your job. “warrant-proof” encryption should be the standard!

AG Barr to Facebook: We need 'lawful access' to users' digital messages to fight crime.

Let that sink in...... police state right around the corner....

That should encourage people to close their Facebook accounts...

If I see a friend request on facebook from AG Barr I am not going to accept.

Actually to target their opposition. I can't think of a worse gang of creeps to gain access to private information.

The only thing he wants is to play big brother.

I find this ask to be SHOCKING. And I don’t shock easily.

deletefacebook cannottrustzucker

Fight crime? More like finding anti-TurdRumpers...

OMFG karaswisher . DO SOMETHING!!!

We can't trust Barr's DOJ

AG Barr to Facebook: Big Brother needs 'lawful access' to users' digital messages to fight Crimethink.

Putin would approve.needtoimpeach

JoshuaPotash After all the corruption with Trump and and his Crew/Gang in office, I have trouble trusting Barr’s motives about this Facebook encryption issue. For example, he might be trying to keep Facebook status quo so Trump’s Russian friends can continue to influence the elections.

A criminal who wants to fight crime Imagine that

Omg.. lawful access? How dare he!

We need ACCESS TO ALL BARR'S text and emails

bfm4440 And, by crime, AG Barr means “any statement or other expression which does not express undying devotion to our Lord and Savior, Donald J. Trump.”

To this dude? He's trump Gestapo

Yeah right...

bfm4440 In the spirit of fairness.

no.

Assume he’s not on Facebook ?

LOL this guy ...

He also wants cellphones to have a backdoor that will allow them access whenever they feel the need.

Can you say ... Distraction?

Again, a step closer to an authoritarian government!

AG Barr needs a time machine to be dropped back to the 1940s . He is from that era

NO WAY JOSE

Hell no!

Wasn't this why Snowdon betrayed his oath. Partisan hack like AttorneyGeneral Barr should have NO access to anything without a FISA AP! I'm ok with computerized key word searches by .FBI under strict supervision and top level clearanced analysts. No tRump idiotic appointees

JoshuaPotash Liar! Trump Administration wants only 2 attack the private world of every citizen & foreign user 4 the purpose of control, subjugation, harassment & imprisonment against any moral & principled individual that wishes 2 stop the evil of this 4th Reich. Stop Barr's authoritarianism.

JoshuaPotash DisbarBarr

JoshuaPotash Start with your boss, Mr Barr.

Small government.

JoshuaPotash This is very scary!!!!!

JoshuaPotash Same so they should turn over the secret server.

Uh huh. Bill Barr is not interested in fighting crime.

When the DOJ gets my tweets I hope they see this one. Fcuk You Fatfcuk.

Woof

JoshuaPotash Reason why I’m not on facebook now

Don’t trust him

What could possibly go wrong?

Another corrupt member of the trump cartel

Wrong, he is so corrupt he should not have access to anything

No! Not gonna happen. That’s called spying!

Time to delete Facebook

MsActiviss LIAR! You just need to have something on those who you fear may want you to experience a stint in one of your private prisons! WE THE PEOPLE are watching!

and can somebody lock this guy up also...

BGHeaven This is the beginning of the end. Once they have that access they can remove, prison, kill whoever opposes them.

LOL No.

facebook probabably gave them to him a SLEAZY and corrupt GOP AG

Isn't there enough crime for him to investigate inside the White House? Sheesh, that should keep him busy 24/7

Oh Hell no!! This is Trump taking away our freedoms. What will it be next.

MsActiviss Anyone still on Facebook should take notice. What’s left of your privacy is dying.

Facebook to Barr: Got a warrant?

Well that include the Republican's corruption as will. Or are they going to target the Democratic party. 🤨

lawful and barr do not go together.

Not him. He's a traitor and a crook

We need the same thing from realDonaldTrump and yourself. AGBarr POTUS It’s called transparency, something that hasn’t existed under this administration.

SlynnF58 No no no no corrupt Barr doesn’t get to see that shit

Danny___Noonan Very conservative of him

His crimes we care about.

NewsJunkie60 Right! 🙃😇😂😇🙃😇😂😇🙃😇😂😇🙃🤡💩

Likely he'll pass on the information to Trump's campaign.

Nope not in your justice dept no way!!

tinka_nichols No fvcking way.

Yep!

Where are all the 'Obama wants to spy on us' tin foil hat people? Bueller?

ImpeachBarrNOW

you do NOT need this information to 'fight crime'.

I sure hope ALL of these cocksuckers accountable and in prison! Trump keeps running his mouth because I think he wants to be impeached so he can start counting all the money he and his family have grifted. He only wanted more money and appears to have gotten away with it!

So glad I got off when I did. ☺️

No!

There are a lot of people in this administration that do not know about the existing agencies in this administration. I guess in this case, that is good. The can f**k up, and the get thrown the f**k out.

All: we need to barBarr from facebook !!!

Go eat flies and croak, Barr.

A terror tirany?.... do you want to see my posts?.... show me Donald's tax returns first

Maybe you should start at home.

Barr should not have access to anything. Period.

sprbrighting Mark Zuckerberg to AG Barr: Absolutely! Anything to help with the greater good! 😒

Danny___Noonan I call bullshit

So make him get a court order for each and every instance.

Big Brother is watching!

Danny___Noonan FuckThat

Nope, sorry

Not y o u

who remembers peter strozk texting his whore lisa page about cheating the election?

DOJPH Just as soon Willie Barr sets up accounts in his name.

And 1984 comes closer to reality.

Barr should be impeached, disbarred, indicted, convicted, imprisoned in a cell by himself with no cameras around.

Feck off!

Omg

Drumroll please: Inexorably marching toward an authoritarian state.

Barr's worried about crime huh?

Wait what?

Mrbilmarti There's more to this 'want' of access than just from facebook. It opens the door to federal takeover by this administration of any media or communication accessible by the public. It won't end. funder SethAbramson tribelaw

And by “crime” fake AG Barr means any lawful criticism of Dear Leader Trump.

Nope

Facial and retinal ID for FB log in. That’ll cut down on crime.

“So we can erase Jared’s secret messages”

If this happens I will log off both Facebook and Instagram

Been off Facebook for a couple of years now! Don’t miss it!

Republicans: we believe in less government and privacy Also Republicans: we want the government to be able to spy on Americans without warrants

Fedcoats

Don't think he's telling the truth?! They've got ulterior motives and I don't think they're for legal reasons?

You still need a court order. Fight crime yes. Spy on US CITIZENS NO.

It's becoming more and more apparent that the big orange ocotpussie in the room with no corners needs to be removed FAST !! His admin/DOJ/State Dept. are attempting to become all Dick-tators !! George Orwell would be proud !!

No

We need Barr resignation

Unless you have a search Weren'tOur open government 1 with Free speech

No they don’t...you need to balance privacy rights with the needs of law enforcement and get a judge to make that call.

But what if Barr abuse this privilege as he did as AG?

Lets start with HIS inbox.

Anything to change the subject.

Hughes Net- Frontier Communications

He knows crime, believe me.

Nope that’s a lie. Imagine if the Nazis had FB, we are there right now.

First, why don’t you concentrate on Trump’s Twitter account.

AG Barr: We need unrestricted access to the world supply of cream cheese and mayo. I'm a gluttonous, magical thinking, fat fuck.

Barrmustresign

Isn’t that what subpoenas are for?

BigBrother

If fb does this, fb no longer exists.

Bill Barr:,We need lawful access to white blowers

No he doesn’t

Go to hell, Bill.

We need a lawful DOJ

But can be done by department of facebook to protect their trade secrets .. barr and a court order .. But that court can be in an other jurisdiction .. Or you store iranian whatsapp or saoudi also in usa ?

Yes, we also need to fight potential criminals who work for the WH administration who have yet to be caught.

Barr should be disBARRed, impeached and put in jail. What a disgrace.

Nope please delete

DumpDATrump2020

no

I wouldn’t trust AG Barr with lawful access to my tool shed.

Lol, more like run surveillance on the presidents personal and political adversaries.

What a poor excuse for an AG. It is really sad that we can no longer attract qualified talent to work in the executive branch of our government.

The move to a Totalitarian Government continues

NOYouDONT

But we can't get access to realDonaldTrump, really.

Big Brother part 37

Hmmmm does this apply to his text, PM MESSAGEs, FB messenger, given that they text abt Ukraine!?

Note to all the DemocratPartyPress “believers” Check out WalkAway on Facebook SocialismKills. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

No you don’t.

No thanks ,traitor barr

Investigating Biden instead of Trump! Barr should be charged and jailed!

We need Barr’s messages to fight his crime first.

Yours included? You seem to be involved in some criminal behavior.

Not okay unreasonable searches

This is a direct play for the same Info that Cambridge Analytica used to run psyops tactics in 2015. No government agency needs Facebook info. Ever.

Gestapo wants what?

To manipulate users data...I am closing my account

'we need to spy on our political opponents, and all body shamers of tiny trump and myself at fat A88 Anon

TheJusticeDept and AG Barr have no credibility or legitimacy. Trumpocalypse

No gong way

Barr has no idea what it means to act in a 'lawful' manner.

But not Trump's right

No

Now that wouldnt be a problem but when will it be ok to check digital messages from those in power?. Government tends to give policies and regulation towards thier fellow americans without the authority to overcome those who created it.

Like he doesn't already?

He should look in a mirror if he wants to fight crime.

Is he THAT blinded by his leader that he doesn't see what an idiot he is?

Every administration wants this.

Allow me to translate: AG Barr to Facebook: We need 'lawful access' to users' digital messages for our 2020 re-election campaign.

The DOJ is just a hit squad to attack the president's enemies. It's time to start paring back the department's authority.

WE NEED ACCESS TO TRUMPS TAXES

Barr, a hack in service to his mob boss. He will put we the people in jeopardy in so many ways. The MAGA cult is using the Kim, Vlad and Xi playbooks.

I wonder if Facebook Zuckerberg will fight AG Barr as enthusiastically as he want to fight Warren? Cause facebook’s real existential crisis is apparently in DOJ sights. Despite the public shameless self promotion, privacy is still at the crux of it all, right?

Yea - no you don’t. realDonaldTrump

Sure thing Mr. Roseanne

This sounds like some deep state shit.

Mmmmm nah

Paragryn Here comes the dictatorship,

Ok, just give us Trumps tax returns and we'll think about it. Sorry, not sorry.

This is a laughable charade. Snowden proved when he leaked PRISM the NSA & CIA are already snooping on all texts, DM's, emails.

HAHAHAH What Barr ACTUALLY means is 'We need unfettered access to political opponents digital messages so we can get revenge.'

And Congress needs access to official administration records and witnesses for oversight responsibility!

I’d rather trust Guyger walking into the right apartment this time.

man come on, we have know for the longest time the NSA gets anything they want, PatriotAct

You are the only criminal on FB that I am aware of. Perjury is a crime although the new GOP line is that it’s not illegal to lie to the press (the American people) and Aiding and Abetting is also a crime. Lock you up!!!

Me to William Barr: We need access to your emails, text messages, and telephone conversations first.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated,

Yeah well we need lawful access to the Epstein video to fight crime.... oh wait 🤦🏻‍♂️

Get a warrant detailing the specific premise for the specific crime, or GTFO

what he means is................we're listening in, we're hacking in all to make our job of influencing elections ourselves instead of asking foreign governments and hannity to do it for us

To seek out their agenda

I wouldn't give Bill Barr access to a gas station men's room

Where are my 4th Amendment people?

Sure, you can trust Bill Barr...

Yeah, sure, why not. I trust him.
