Florida is dangerous and dumb.

Most backdoors are dangerous and dumb.

Key escrow is the only time it makes sense.

It may become the duty of every software engineer at this time to offer their services to those who need security, to make custom solutions for those who require it.

Cypherpunks, arise!

I wonder what’s their excuse this time - the children or the terrorists.

– it’s the children.

Given how dumb current GOP is I’d say it’s gonna be terrorist children.

See, and here i thought it would be children of terrorists!

Terrorist children of terrorists! Now that’s complete.

See latest Florida school shooting for proof.

Sometimes both. Sometimes they twist it backwards and say security.

…they need encryption backdoors? I was under the impression 99% of mainstream social media sites would willingly give sensitive information up for free without any hassle.

The “give away” requires a request. I think Florida would simply like to look at everything private without having to ask.

Facebook supposedly has E2EE in use for 1-to-1 chats on messenger. So I’d imagine they’re trying to clear those last few blind spots.

I feel like a new paradigm of encryption for communication needs to happen that puts encryption ownership in the hands of the trust while the app only facilitates between clients. keys never exchange between client and server and only hashed values are used to validate and trust.

keybase had this but unfortunately zoom bought them in 2020.

Probably a forced sale under duress. Security experts have known for decades how to architect better paradigms, but adoption is actively blocked because the governments of the world want to spy on everything.
