FBI Wants Access To Encrypted iPhone And Android Data—So Does Europe
FBI Wants Access To Encrypted iPhone And Android Data—So Does Europe
The biggest threat to encryption yet — what to know.
This isn't a backdoor, the bureau says.
"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 a side door!
It's not a back door, it's just a rear entryway
The FBI can go fuck themselves.
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 civil liberties 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
Thirty years later, same shit: https://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.
Kash Patel wants to start arresting dissidents who will be rioting in 2028
don't they already have it?
Maybe, but they wouldn't want to give away that such a thing definitely already exists. Also, any intelligence gathered that way would likely be inadmissible as evidence if it was used to prosecute someone.
By getting an overt backdoor installed, both those problems go away.
Most.
Depends on how good the e2e application is written. But yea, since android is still in the middle of data transfer, as well as IO of storage. Meaning both iOS and android can be the man the in the middle software that is tapping off the data even before it's getting encrypted.
Hopefully nobody is reading this from apple or Google, before I give them ideas. 😔
Want in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first.
Is this just in case anyone was wondering or forgot because yeaaaahdoiii.
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.
aaand those and the usere will be punished when found
