I appreciate your reply! Thanks!

Can you elaborate on pre converting them? Do you mean with an outside application like handbrake or an automated one in the arr stack?

702 allows the US National Security Administration (NSA) to collect information/data worldwide which has the side effect of collecting some US persons information/data. The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) is a government agency that’s supposed to monitor other agencies for things like privacy concerns in regards to national security laws. The PCLOB has agreed with the EFF that 702 should have significant reform to improve protections for US citizens before it gets reauthorized. 702 expires at the end of this year, and the EFF believes it should expire first to remove any information that has already been collected.

One of the biggest concerns is that US law enforcement can and has been searching this data without a warrant, thus violating US citizens right to privacy.

Good. Governments shouldn’t be beholden to entities like oil companies that have lied and ruined the planet for decades now. We could be light years ahead with renewables if the vile people that misled the world on the catastrophic effects of global climate change get a few billion less for their destruction of our planet.
