So get a warrant.
46 0 ReplyThere is no 'lawful access' without a warrant or my permission. there aren't laws saying padlocks need to support a government master key, and encryption is just a digital lock.
41 0 ReplyThat's literally what TSA approved locks are... Of course the master keys are freely available to everyone.
3 0 Replyyeah, which is why we need to make sure that doesn't happen to other locks (and make the TSA start doing security instead of security theater).

With a pad lock they do have a key though. Bolt cutters.
1 0 ReplyBolt cutters are not a key, they are a method of bypassing the lock. they still need a warrant to do that, which is the point.

any 'lawful' access that's baked-in will also be used and exploited 'unlawfully'.

It's not my responsibility to make the FBI's job (or any cop's job) easier.
Also, folks should be using 3rd party open-source encryption, like VeraCrypt and a password manager that encrypts the database, like Keepass. Don't ever expect governments and corporations to respect your privacy.
27 0 Replyfbi want direct access to encrypted data while simultaneously also all data to be encrypted in order to be protected from china?
do explain how this is all going to work because it's extremely confusing.
19 0 ReplyThe explanation is that they will just use this shit to target whomever they please regardless of reason. This is how fascism works.
It is meant to be confusing. Stop trying to rationalize it, you're wasting energy.

6 0 ReplyWhat if we don't store it in the cloud and keep local encrypted storage only? I guess Mr FBI is shit out of luck then.
How do we live in a world where local storage is now the only safe choice?
