I worked long enough in telecom industry to know that there is no way for regulators to leave major communication platforms without some sort of surveillance. They can't sleep without it, and they don't take "Oh! sorry it's encrypted" as an answer.
I don't buy this. Maybe it's true about FBI, but other agencies have the keys for right or wrong reasons.
- LinuxBender 5y agoI was also in that industry and agree. We could rewrite the firmware on phones over-the-air live and this was long ago. The only reason we didn't do this for customers was the one-off chance we brick a phone and cause higher customer support load. We could read and write to anything on the phone remotely. Such capabilities would surely not be abandoned.
