There is a recurring theme here. - Police share information on protestors with pipeline company. - NSA, after lying under oath to say that it doesn’t, conducts mass surveillance of Americans, and then shortly after that bungles security of its own hacking tools, so they end up in the hands of, well, just about anyone. - Large trusted organizations from credit agencies to banks to phone companies leak millions of private records. - US government deliberately — yes, deliberately! — turns over personal identifying information about people associated with the US *TO THE TALIBAN* because, what… the Taliban are “the authorities” now and thus utterly and completely trusted with this information. And with this backdrop, the US government wants keys to unlock our encryption, and claims it will keep them secure and safe. What’s the worst that can happen… well I don’t know, it’s not like they would turn our information over to the Taliban, right? Oh, wait… Please remember what they did here next time they say the keys will be held in escrow only to be accessed by trusted authorities. Also: Apple, are you seeing this?
