I can imagine go-banning a country from GitHub repos. This is true insanity on Australia's part.
Don't they know any backdoor will undoubtedly be found and spread? People find vine abilities in software designed to be secure. When there is an intentional backdoor, it will be abused even quicker.

- FuckOffNeemo 8y agoRead up on the article about how it's going to happen. Hide a third party in your group chat as a silent observer that you can't see. Terrifying. Wickr for all comms, here I go.

- ehnto 8y agoI hope they do. I hope the global tech industry ostracises us and our tech industry falls apart, and that the politicians wear every bit if it in some kind of political aftertmath, referendum, vote, protests, I don't care. My worst fear isn't this causing damage, my worst fear is that the tech community will be apathetic and impotent, like they have been all other erosions of privacy so far.
- BigJono 8y agoI'm far more worried that this bill will be forgotten than acted upon. What happens 2 decades down the track when a newly elected government suddenly realises that through 20 years of apathy they've been slowly handed every tool they need to turn themselves into the 4th Reich?
