FBI issued warrant to Apple to get data from Sen. Burr's iCloud account
- mtgx 6y agoOh, sweet irony. Let's see how quickly Burr does a 180 on his comments and proposal to break encryption. Proponents of increasing surveillance powers tend to change their minds rather quickly when the same powers are used against them. I bet he wishes Apple iCloud actually implemented end-to-end encryption by now, instead of delaying its implementation precisely because it was fearing government action like what Burr was proposing. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/04/burr-feinstein-proposal-simply-anti-security https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/04/burr-feinstein-proposa... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusive/exclusive-apple-dropped-plan-for-encrypting-backups-after-fbi-complained-sources-idUSKBN1ZK1CT https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusiv...
