“If it works as designed” is I think where Gruber’s article does it’s best work: he explains that the design is pretty good, but the if is huge. The slippery slope with this is real, and even though Apple’s chief of privacy has basically said everything everyone is worried about is currently impossible, “currently” could change tomorrow if Apple’s bottom line is threatened. I think their design is making some really smart trade offs, given the needle they are trying to thread. But it shouldn’t exist at all, in my opinion; it’s too juicy a target for authoritarian and supposedly democratic governments to find out how to squeeze Apple into using this for evil.
