This sounds smart. And I'm pretty pragmatic. I don't think Google and Apple and Microsoft are really trying to ruin my privacy.
But something about this makes me uncomfortable. The fact that when this appeared on the front page of HN it was with posts from Google and Dropbox about how they support this.
Google that Assange is releasing a book about, and Dropbox that went a day where it didn't matter what password you entered and has former Secretary Rice on their board.
I have a feeling this organization might help keep things like the recent celebrity iCloud break happening, but as someone else said, real security is not easy. And false security is worse than no security.
- blueking 12y agoTotally agree. Its security theater. I don't believe for one second its a sincere gesture. I would definitely not want to use a open source security project google got involved in. Its obviously an attempt to get a influence in tomorrows secure infrastructure such that it does not cut google out of the data their business depends on. Your.. private... data.
