backdoors for the ‘good’ (lol) guys today, become backdoors for the bad guys and everybody else tomorrow.
Didn’t they just recently (like, yesterday?) suggest we all use encrypted calling apps due to the Chinese hacks on US telecoms that took advantage of these back doors?
They sure did. It was in response to volt typhoon: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt_Typhoon
FBI is not a monolith right now and has multiple conflicting opinions.
The part that wants to save democracy says you should encrypt your communications by using an e2e provider, and they recommend Signal.
The part that wants to serve the country (by serving the current administration — the J. Edgar Hoover part of FBI) is terrified of going dark and has been nagging encryption experts for over a decade now to nerd harder and invent a backdoor only good guys can use.
The nerds know this is mathematically impossible. And in fact bad guys (industrial spies, black hats, other nations, etc.) have leaks readily available to uncover the backdoors.
And right now a lot of FBI is scared the new admin is the bad guys.
Yes - the details surrounding that, and its relationship to this statement, is covered in the article.
I immediately thought of the Clinton-era Clipper chip, and sure enough: Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein’s “Responsible Encryption” Demand is Bad and He Should Feel Bad
The FBI and prosecution should do their fucking job and build a case, instead of relying on illegal search and seizure.
They just want to legalize what they already have so they can use it publicly.
Suck my asshole FBI
The sad part is that the upcoming administration might be stupid enough to try and implement this.
Chat Control comes to the US.
there’s the problem with religion: you allow random fantasies to permeate everyday life and it’ll inevitably spill over.
case in point: the fantasy that there’s a good-guy backdoor, unaccessible to bad guys.
so, demand away, preferably at the same place you entertain all other fantasies, like theaters, cinemas,
tax-exempt criminal conspiracieschurches, strip clubs, and the like.Lol what noobs
