True, but they are the ones with all the power. I think you’re fighting not just an uphill but an impossible battle. With very little upside to you if you win.

That filter idea sounds very good. Gonna try. Thank you. edit: come to think of it. Can RES hide points?

Obviously your opinion is not wanted there. So why go the extra mile? Just move on.

Ever hear about Kerckhoff’s principle?
65.
by read_if_gay_ 5y ago
If that is such an universally understood principle then a lot of people are badly misinformed. I can’t count how often I hear “if everybody just took the vaccine the virus would be gone within insert timespan ” even in academic circles.

You just need to get ahold of some widely spread CSAM. Certainly not everybody is ready to do that, but it is far from impossible for a motivated individual to obtain "hot" hashes.

Fine, let’s say they didn’t lie, they made misleading claims. Still. Why trust them after that? If a company can make my own smartphone report me to the police, and they want my business, they better prove I can trust them. Apple has plainl

Governments don’t get to search your house because some people out there have CP at home. Why should your smartphone be different?

by read_if_gay_ 5y ago
The “actual argument” against the system that this provides is that Apple lied about the likelihood of hash collisions. Therefore, why trust any of their other claims?
70.
by read_if_gay_ 5y ago
No. I trusted Apple’s proprietary software before this, because they maintained that they care about privacy, and there have been examples of that. Now, I don’t trust them anymore .

But China is already uncooperative wrt investigations. That’s probably the main reason why so many people want an ivestigation. It just looks extremely shady. So, what I don’t understand is how accepting uncooperativeness is going to mak

Well, only two are directly against the government’s interests.

Child abuse, terrorism, money laundering and tax evasion. These are any government’s four horsemen of the apocalypse. According to them, they are roughly the same degree of evil and all deserve the strictest prosecution. But only two aren’t

For one, we could take action to help prevent another Covid from happening. It’s really not that hard to see how it could be useful to know about the origins of Covid. Really tired of people making it about racism (or whatever) against Chin

So for the sake of the argument let's make up a utopian scenario "group X is Y, but it is so exclusively because of this clearly identified confounding factor Z". It obviously doesn't follow that group X isn't Y a

> Please Google "confounding factors." sigh That's exactly what I was saying in my last sentence. You should take a minute to actually understand the post you're replying to. Especially if, as you almost figured out

I agree we need to be careful with concluding “therefore we should/can/will be under-considered for being able to Z” because it’s easy to become ham fisted there. But that doesn’t mean we should disregard a sound observation in it

by read_if_gay_ 5y ago
Usually what's meant is not that all men/women always are X, but there's a general tendency towards X. Disregarding such observations merely because they appear sexist is living in denial.

Barely anyone ever cared about privacy. Convenience, no matter how insignificant, always wins. I will be surprised if this is the last straw that finally gets the masses to care about privacy. In reality there might be a few scandals but at

No. The intent is not that it works on iCloud. The intent is catching pedos. This is obviously not effective given that you can get around it that easily if you want to. Coincidentally though, it will be totally effective at surveilling the

If this technology is that easily circumvented then why is there an expectation that it will be effective at all?
