People need to start calling this what it is. Backdoor-ing encryption is backdoor-ing national security. It should be considered nothing less than treason to democracy…
But we don’t live in democracies. We live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as democracy, so these efforts to destroy our privacy make perfect sense.

how about no

This is a battle big tech cannot afford to lose.
I don’t like this framing. This is about privacy for all of us, and some of the most important providers of encryption software and encrypted services are nonprofits and small companies.

Yeah, it’s a non sequitur given that those firms have always been constituent parts of the US military-spook-industrial complex.. They DGAF about our actual privacy, though they may prefer that we believe that they care.

Fuck right off, my data is my own, pay me for it and then maybe we’ll talk.

The exactly.
You want something from me, fine. But nothing is free and you may not like my price, and in that case you’re simply out of luck.

I guess it was wishful thinking that the FBI just learnt their lesson regarding encryption with the Chinese phone line hack. Bastards

Looks like I’ll be happily sticking with grapheneOS until Linux phones get VOLTE working

Good luck with your Graphene OS when they mandate a Clipper Chip into the hardware.
Altomes@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Well that gives the Foss community 6 years to figure out VOLTE

This dude was nuts, and definitely a pos bc he hurt so many people for no real reason, but when you read about the stuff he was worried about, it’s eerily accurate. It’s like he crawled inside Peter Thiel’s head, got a glimpse of his plans, and that’s what set him off the deep end.
fleebleneeble@lemm.ee 2 months ago
While I don’t fully agree with his methods in terms of he seemed to randomly select people who were otherwise not as much a part of the problem to blow up, why he is “nuts” has a really sad and fucked up reason / origin. He was basically mentally and physically tortured through an academically hosted, governmental project.

His motives were downright prescient, but his targets were poorly chosen to put it lightly

For anyone who doesn’t know who this was, it’s a photo of Ted Kaczynski - the unabomber- a terrorist who over approx. 20 years mailed and placed a series of bombs targeting universities and other technology-focused places and people, killing three and permanently injuring more than a dozen others.
Posting him here is a reference to his manifesto in which he lays out many grievances against technology and industrialization, including increased ability for governments to surveil their citizens.

Thirty years later, same shit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_chip

iOS & Android should not hide admin/root access from users (device owners). The same was as desktop systems (Windows/macOS/Linux) never hide it. This will allow users to use their own encryption (LUKS,dm-crypt, AES, VeraCrypt and so on) to store application data.

As someone who know pgp exists, i say have at it feds, lets see what kind of explots clippy2.0 has and how quickly it gets cracked.
Seriously ever actual expert in cryptography would tell then what they want is not possible. It would be exploited within weeks, probably by multiple different actors. Let them fuck around and find out, they obviously dont “learn” from it, but at least it will shut them down for another decade or so.

A great example of this is TSA luggage locks. Mandated backdoor, master keys leaked by company that makes them, now anyone can open any TSA approved lock.

Somebody else will provide the tools to workaround this in no time. Keep wasting our fucking time and money by not understanding technology, world government figures.

"It isn’t a backdoor because we aren’t calling it one. We named the backdoor Lawful Access, so it’s that, not a backdoor.

Same difference between “quotas” and “performance goals”.

It’s not a back door, it’s just a rear entryway
