- Klonoar 6y agoI know what you're saying, but where do you think you are? Please have enough common sense to assume I asked the question knowing how that works. The primary thing with this bill that the companies seem explicitly quiet on is the fact that the use case it opens up for the government (sidestepping user privacy/encryption) coupled with the level of power it more or less places in the Attorney General's hands. I can't in good faith assume that these companies are comfortable with this, and I'd like to know why they're not speaking up.
- jedieaston 6y agoAt least for Apple, they claim the iPhone (at least devices post-checkm8) has not been compromised. iCloud is required to comply with records requests, but the data isn’t in iCloud the feds can’t get it. Even with checkm8, the Secure Enclave still has not been compromised. If they were in bed with the feds, the FBI/NYPD wouldn’t keep asking them for keys that Apple doesn’t have.
