Fighting Bulk Search Warrants In Court
- EGreg 12y agoIf people hosted their own data, indtead of a centralized service, it would be harder to get everyone's data secretly. http://magarshak.com/blog/?p=169 http://magarshak.com/blog/?p=169
- SkynetSystems 12y agoThis is just pr, they are talking about fighting police level warrants. It says nothing about NSA level mass surveillance (aka PRISM). I would love to see Google, Microsoft, and Facebook collectively decide they aren't going to give the NSA any more records for mass surveillance. What is the government going to do, shut them down? The US tech industry would shut down overnight. None of these companies are small fish that can be bullied or shut down without causing serious repercussions to the government. Their compliance is clearly more voluntary than they admit.
- soup10 12y agoBoring pr that ignores the elephant in the room, NSA and other intelligence agencies undoubtably have super user access. They probably even have agents that work at Facebook to ensure they don't lose that access.
- forgottenpass 12y agoEven though we know that national intelligence agencies are coordinating with, at least, national LEAs, the smaller fights are important too. Fighting the encroachment is important at all levels, even when the starting position is bad to begin with.
- soup10 12y agoI agree, but this press release misleads the public into thinking their data at Facebook is more secure and private than it really is.
