This will be used as support when they come for signal by pressuring Apple and Google to ban it from the store. Facebrick will just remove whatsapp end to end encryption.
How should we react when it starts?
- harry8 6y agoMe waves to the security state "dudes" on this sight! Good to see you here! A PR battle to change the law is a PR battle so you can sell a change in the law taking away people's rights. Officer Sicknick didn't have his head smashed by a fire-extinguisher in the riot, so apparently that was also false. Many haven't heard that yet and bristle that it was a lie, but it was. The corrections are now there but just whispered. Disinformation that is great support a war on domestic terror to get the security state more unchecked power. Power wants more power no matter what ideology wields it, it would seem. I guess I should have pointed out more explicitly just how much of the law-enforcement claims reported in the article was also totally unsupported by evidence. I will believe it when there is evidence and not before because I've been had by law-enforcement press-release stenography enough now that my default position has gone from "probably true" to "probably false" absent evidence. I doubt I'm alone in that change. "Given that the services provided by the organization seem to be almost exclusively criminal in nature, the federal prosecutor's office decided at the end of 2018 to open an investigation against SKY ECC and against the people who make these phones available to the criminal community," See that? Providing encrypted messaging is "almost exclusively criminal in nature". This the the PR battle that exists and is escalating. This one is the latest shot. FBI, CIA, NSA, they hate the idea you can talk to someone in private without leaving a permanent record. They just hate it. "If you have nothing to hide why do you wear pants?!?" So what else will come in the PR war on encryption other than "Domestic terrorists" and "Organised crime." Will nobody think of the children!?! It is building and will come, no matter how much you dislike the orange idiot, love your country and believe in law-abiding truth, justice and all that good stuff. Is end to end encryption worth anything? I strongly suspect it has negative worth to facebook.
