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 just a rear entryway
It’s not a back door, it’s a side door!
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.
how about no
don’t they already have it?
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.
Fuck right off, my data is my own, pay me for it and then maybe we’ll talk.
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.
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.

This dude was 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.
Editing to add, he was already in a very vulnerable state mentally when he decided to drop out of society, very likely related to an unethical psychological experiment he “participated” in at Harvard.
The Technological Society is the book he read while living in the wilderness that actually seemed to inspire his writings.
Ellul argues that modern society is being dominated by technique, which he defines as a series of means that are established to achieve an end. Technique is ultimately focused on the concept of efficiency. The term “technique” is to be comprehended in its broadest possible meaning as it touches upon virtually all areas of life, including science, automation, but also politics and human relations.
I mean…

So did anyone else in the study turn to terrorism to express themselves…?
To be fair, he was probably the youngest and most vulnerable participant, and the experiment lasted 3 years. He started attending Harvard at 16, and was probably around 16/17 when the study began.
They used psychological warfare on a kid who was already socially reserved on top of feeling alienated from his peers due to his age, and likely stressed due to being away from his family and home for the first time in his young life. During a developmental period that we now recognize is probably the most critical window for young men in particular to develop a mental illness like schizophrenia, they did this:
Subjects were told they would debate personal philosophy with a fellow student and were asked to write essays detailing their personal beliefs and aspirations. The essays were given to an anonymous individual who would confront and belittle the subject in what Murray himself called “vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive” attacks, using the content of the essays as ammunition. Kaczynski spent 200 hours as part of the study.
Like holy shit…
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.
Thirty years later, same shit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_chip
Want in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first.
