It's worth noting that the same bunch of people responsible for this mistake are those who want the public to believe they're sufficiently responsible and trustworthy to:
a) Safely store and analyse the results of mass public surveillance.
b) Hold 'master' keys to encrypted systems.
Of course no-one in the know seriously believes either claim, but this is a great counter-example to put to the general public.

- givan 11y agoThe biggest problem is not this mistake but the total control and surveillance they are seeking and the persecution of those that try to defy them like Snowden.
- taneq 11y agoAnd that right there is the central issue with the whole concept of a "trusted third party" in encryption. Three people can only keep a secret if two of them are dead.
