- mcpherrinm 2y agoIt’s time to stop governments from hacking people’s phones, taking away their privacy? Users should have control and trust in their devices. If they can be remotely compromised, they cannot get that.
- userbinator 2y agoThe governments will always have a way in if you're a target. Meanwhile the rest of the population gets pushed towards authoritarian dystopia. Users should have control and trust in their devices. I think that already went away once they started adding spyware ("telemetry" being the usual euphemism) and forced automatic updates ("remotely compromised", as you put it.)
- mcpherrinm 2y agoI fundamentally don't buy the argument that our products need to be shitty so that we can break them.
- stavros 2y agoThe ability to jailbreak should be a legal right. We shouldn't be relying on vulnerabilities just to own the devices we bought.
- userbinator 2y agoGood luck getting those in power to agree to that. Meanwhile, everything else passes under the guise of "safety and security".
- pjc50 2y agoNothing to do with the article and flame bait?
- perching_aix 2y agoIt's either one or the other, right? In the end people will be forced to either fix their governance or embrace the chaos. At least in the idea of "verifiable computing for thee but not for me" it's certainly not the "verifiable computing" part that I find to be the problem. We're living the inbetween and people are beating the drums that drive us towards either endpoint. Not for no reason either. Turbulent times.
