What if you "forgot"? Do you imprison someone for forgetting their password?

Modern security involves generating a key for every session and this could be dicey with a master key.

It's been tried before. It was cracked so badly they never tried it again.

Anyone committing a serious enough crime to "justify" breaking encryption would be very motivated to not get caught.

Law enforcement is very capable of getting into phones. They have always managed to do it in the end but want a backdoor from the manufacturer as it is expensive and inconvenient for them.

Part of the point of end-to-end encryption is that you explicitly don't trust these companies. Would anyone be willing to trust them if they went around pushing malware on a whim?

A criminal could use a service provider which isn't located in the U.S. or peer-to-peer communications. Only stupid criminals and the general public will be hit by this. Is this a last ditch effort for a Law & Order Bill prior to t

They're hoping we're distracted by the virus / riots / rhetoric of spooky criminals.

I see, so your main concern here is prosecution. It is indeed true that prosecution is understaffed and underfunded. I feel there are other problems at play too. CPS should be able to spot children in abusive homes and respond to reports of

Wiretap is a misnomer. Undermines security. Put plainly, there will always be crimes you won't be able to catch. You prioritise resources on the most pressing ones and build up resources in the real world to tackle them in other ways.

Are we talking about recirculation of existing content or new cases of abuse? How much of it is new? How much of it is duplicates? How much of it involves the platform facilitating crimes to produce it? One article noted something very alar

Virtue signalling to me is to do something over the top with little practical utility, or which is even counter-productive, to show off one's apparent virtues. It can be incomparably frustrating as it focuses on non-issues or minor iss

Aren't they the ones who passed an anti-encryption law? Gee, imagine thinking they care about security, they never seemed to care about it before with all the breaches and attacks which hit on a regular basis.

There is plenty of evidence suggesting that Zoom collaborates with the CCP without it, there was undue pressure to terminate activists without users from China. It is best to focus on these sorts of links rather than someone merely being fr

This is creeping a little close to populist rhetoric. The crimes you've described are obviously awful but angry politics will only lead to knee-jerk solutions. In which ways do you think it is underfunded?

Twitter has been caught using phone numbers for security purposes / tackling fake accounts in the past for marketing purposes. Zoom has a very dubious history, involving China, lies and a complete lack of security. As for the same old

What if the only practical way to 100% stop all crime is to shutdown the internet? Now, I'm not saying there is nothing that can be done to reduce it. I very much hope there can be, especially if counsellors can find warning signs and

I don't really like Mr. Stamos because he has been saying everything he can to discredit Facebook since he got ejected after a row with management. This could just be my perception of him but I don't find his arguments to be entir

It isn't just that. People will cherry-pick the worst incident that ever happened on a platform involving children and compare everything else to that and say that if you support privacy you're supporting this everywhere. The one,

Their arguments for not giving it to free accounts was awful and the same trite which has been regurgitated for twenty years. The real reason is they want to be able to hand data over to China / NSA / marketers.

Are they going to use that information for marketing purposes? Free but only if you give them info seems too good to be true.

Stopping random strangers from talking to kids over TOR could help to stop pests like this as-well and it wouldn't cost six figures or undermine privacy.

Given their track record, I don't really trust Facebook, but if I take this at it's face, reporting the exploit could get it patched faster and may help in finding similar issues in the code.

This guy deserves what was coming to him, I can understand how it would be very tiresome to deal with a pest like this who keeps coming back, but breaking norms about reporting bugs to vendors like this sets a very nasty precedent. As does

Facebook could at-least have had the decency to report the bug after they were done, who knows what the FBI / NSA are using it for now.
