CEO's of tech companies won't go to jail to protect customers. Nothing new here (and despite claims to the contrary, Telegram already did this).
- tptacek 2y agoThis is a weird way to look at the situation, because it doesn't even matter what the CEO of a tech company is willing to do or not do. No tech company is holding a state the size of France off by sheer force; they're just loitering on the shady site of an attention/irritation curve. At some point, you piss an industrial state off enough, they're going to win, for any definition of "win" involving "getting whatever data you have easy plaintext access to".
