Possible it will go nowhere.
How can Apple for example provide a backdoor for imessage which isn't a systemic weakness?
- boyter 8y agoConsidering that isn’t even defined in the bill that just passed I have little hope it will save it.

- s369610 8y agohave the app store send a special version of the app or system update to robryan that as well as renders the message on the screen also sends it to the gov.
- daemin 8y agoThe intelligence service will request a special version of the software which will store the contents unencrypted, or decrypt the existing contents, or send information to a different server. Then they will coerce a telecommunications provider to install this application on the targets machine (says nothing about having it installed on everybody's machine accidentally or otherwise). Then they shall profit.
- brokenmachine 8y agoThey could be compelled to send firmware updates only to specific phones with a new version of imessage that doesn't perform end-to-end encryption.
- manicdee 8y agoThe Government simply defines systemic weakness to be something that doesn’t happen when Apple is coerced to introduce an easily exploitable hole in their security for all products. I wish I was being facetious.
