FBI in talks with Apple, Google over device encryption policies
- higherpurpose 12y agoI was afraid this would happen. Either they will back down on these policies, or worse, they will make the moves to make FBI happy behind the curtain, while promising everyone they still made the changes to protect your privacy.
- swasheck 12y agowhat's (not) shocking is the double-speak. "i believe that nobody is above the law" when that's not been the case for quite a while. additionally, use that as a case against apple and google touting encryption is an insult to the collective intelligence of the populace. it's because there is demonstrable evidence that the fbi/cia/other organizations are acting outside the jurisdiction of the law that citizens are "protecting themselves." not to start a flame war here (or a red herring, and if it is then let me know), but this sort of self protection seems to have been the impetus behind the bill of rights, in general. it's the right to protect one's self from the overreaching of government.
