This conversation is important in one sense:-

The fact that we have been bashing the government for the last few weeks about snooping on its citizens without recourse to the law or our constitution which they are sworn to protect. 

Ngigi's response raises serious red flags. And I quote a part of his response:-

"HTTP is what contains the users data. The fact that you have *written* that you look into HTTP means you look into your users data, something that I believe is explicitly against the laws of the land. 

The more you try to twist this, the deeper a hole you dig yourselves in."

End quote.

Here's my worry. Who do we go to when we get so confused about such stuff?

We suspect the government is snooping on us. We suspect the telcos are snooping on us. Who do we ask to intervene? CA? Wait..We aren't even sure about them.. The courts? Maybe that's our only salvation..
