How about not moving forward with this system?
Corporations have to obey the law, but they don't need to be zealous and build spying infrastructure when they aren't required to.
- dkonofalski 5y agoIf this is a preemptive response to full E2E encryption, does that change your opinion in that regard at all?
- marticode 5y agoIf this was the case I'd think Apple would have mentioned it by now to appease the situation. But even if that was the case, the tool will now exists for any dictatorial government to spy on "troublemakers". The Chinese government, which has already gotten full compliance from Apple, would be foolish not to use it.
- querez 5y agoNot who you asked, but: it wouldn't change mine. My phone is one of the most private things I own, it stores private thoughts, communications and pictures. If someone goes out of their way to try and sniff data in there, that's a no go. I might even go to the extreme of saying that I'm willing to even give child pornography consumers some uncomfortable freedoms, if it guarantees that my freedoms remain untouched. (and all of that would be before I even consider false positive rates)
