Apple Used the DMCA to Take Down a Tweet Containing an iPhone Encryption Key
- t34543 7y agoI wonder why they backtracked and asked for the Tweet to be restored. I don’t think key material is copyrightable. Besides, once it’s posted the cats out of the bag. I’d rather see Apple continue to strengthen iOS security and leave the legal bs for other problems.
- benologist 7y agoThey probably backtracked because Sony attempted the same thing in 2007 and in addition to being futile it actually incited a revolt on a very popular Reddit peer from that era. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AACS_encryption_key_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AACS_encryption_key_controvers... > At one point, Digg's "entire homepage was covered with links to the HD-DVD code or anti-Digg references." https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--4VwaveOK--/c_fill,fl_progressive,g_center,h_900,q_80,w_1600/18rbvd4atqu8cjpg.jpg https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--4VwaveO...
