This is still not the way to do it. There are other of methods of law enforcement[0] that don't require any given message to be available for interception. Something like ANOM is more difficult to pull off but it's also less prone to error, which is a more important thing to optimize.

- gjsman-1000 4y agoYes... but how many times can you pull off ANOM? It worked really well once - but by the time there's the 5th, or 6th, or 7th security company that criminals have never heard of and a long string of dead companies, they'll be quite wary.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4y agoI'm sure dedicated people can be more creative than to just do ANOM 7 times but I do get your point. Anyway, I realized after I wrote the comment that ANOM is a bad example for arguing in favor of ubiquitous end-to-end encryption (E2EE). ANOM is only attractive to criminal organizations because other forms of "E2EE" are not resilient to government snooping. It's kind of an interesting point but I do personally land on a preference for ubiquitous E2EE. Ultimately, I suspect the resources of law enforcement would win out given enough creativity from officers but, unfortunately, the current ecosystem does not require them to be creative.
- developer93 4y agoI read an article recently about how easy small boats are to obtain here in Germany, as in the people hiring them out look the other way. They could be made more expensive, or better regulated, and this article was of the opinion that would go a long way to combating that. Because the boats are a one off thing, they can't be retrieved from the UK side.
