The naïveté in the articles was a surprise to me. If Orin Kerr, professor of law and scholar in internet crime and surveillance, is enlightened* by the suggestion "If Apple can decrypt, so can others", how much would the average lawmaker or judge know?
Keep things like encryption out of regulation; because it can't be.
* edit: was "amused", which was incorrect.
- fulafel 12y agoBy my reading he took it seriously, what do you mean by amused?
- jeswin 12y agoSorry my bad, language issues. I meant "fascinated, by the idea". What would be a good word here?
- patio11 12y agoI think "enlightened" might be the word you're looking for. It means both that the hypothetical conveys new information to him and that, as a result of the new information, he comes to a new (and improved) understanding of the larger picture. The sentence doesn't strike me as 100% native phrasing with that substitution, by the way, but it would be clearly comprehensible.
- jeswin 12y agoEnlightened is indeed what I was looking for. Thank you.
