There will always be data thieves. The real criminals are the lazy developers that make apps without full client side encryption. This would claim to make that obvious.
If you put together an app that professes to send messages that are private to one other user, when in fact they are visible to anyone with access to your servers, you have sold your users down the river just because you are not a competent developer. This is widespread right now, but it doesn't mean it isn't true.
However, as other people have pointed out, this particular idea looks like BS. Even so, I think it will be implemented in some form in a few years. It's time to end the "fingers in the ears, la la la" approach to data security that your post exemplifies.
- fabulist 12y agoI think you are quite unfairly placing blame for a systemic issue on the people least responsible.
- PhasmaFelis 12y agoSo your argument is that, if Bob scams you into buying an "unpickable" lock and Steve picks it easily and steals all your stuff, only Bob is at fault and Steve is innocent? You seem to think that there can only be one villain in any given situation. I'm perfectly comfortable assigning blame to both of them. And none of this explains why you think a service that helps Steve get top dollar for your stolen stuff is a good thing.
