I can imagine an FBI official going to a tech or communications company and saying "either give us access to your users' data, or we will spend our time looking very closely at you". This is especially likely and frightening given the (recent) Yates memo.[1]

- meric 11y agoYes, and in this scenario, the best we can hope for, is a defiant management saying "go ahead, look very closely at us", and publish the communications sent by the FBI in a press release. I can see it's possible something like that will happen but the company would be in serious trouble soon after.

- mikeyouse 11y agoI don't really get the objections to the Yates memo.. People were outraged that nobody went to jail post-GFC, now the FBI puts together a framework to ensure jailtime for criminals and people are outraged that they're going to cooperate with the businesses to get convictions?
