Why does Apple even bother with encryption? They should just skip all of the warrant requirements etc and use their iCloud keys to unlock our content and store it unencrypted at rest.
Maybe they can also build an api so that governments can search easily for dissidents without the delays that the due process of law causes.
- gorgonzolachz 5y agoFacetious as this is, I can't imagine this is anything other than Apple's endgame here. The best of both worlds: keep advertising their privacy chops to the masses, while also allowing any and every government agency a programmatic way to hash-verify the data passing through their systems in real-time.
