France's Own Hack Is the Best Argument Against Its War on Encryption
- throawayonthe 4mo agoi don't get how it's an argument for encryption if that wasn't the affected part
- inigyou 4mo agoThis website posts a lot of nonsense.
- Veserv 4mo agoHuh? It is a argument against government backdoor access to messages. The government demonstrated that they are unqualified to keep data securely under their control. As such, any argument that a backdoor only allows the duly elected government access is empirically false. Any such backdoor empirically allows nefarious criminals access to your messages whereas the absence of a backdoor keeps your messages safely between you and the other party. So, your options are: 1. Encryption with no backdoors so all messages are safe. 2. Criminals can freely read your messages so the government can more easily investigate potential criminals.
- jujube3 4mo agoMy understanding is that the various anti-encryption proposals don't prevent the government itself from using encryption, just their subjects. So it's not really an "argument against" from the state's point of view. They will be safe.
