You mean Time Apple, the man that was renamed by a pedophile and then gave that pedophile a golden gift to appease him?
Stop acting like giving gold bars to a paedophile is bribery. It was obviously a payment for child prostitution.
Also Tim cook quote, “you’re so great Mr. Trump, we had an army man, nake you a special trophy just for you. The base is literally a gold bar that I’m illegally giving you. Isn’t that fun, you’re so great trump. Thank you trump. I love you trump. It’s such a joy to socialize with you trump”
Sightly paraphrased
Politicians who don’t understand technology (and some that do) will continue advocating for a break in encryption “so they can catch the bad guys.”
No, you fuck. Either it’s protected or it’s not. I’ve just been listening to the latest podcast from 404 Media (you should check them out; print and audio). One of their primary stories is about cops accessing Flock cameras to stalk their ex-partners. AUTHORITY NEEDS LIMITS.
yup, and one persons freedom fighter is another person enemy and all that.
Yeah but we saw how quickly you bowed and kissed the ring of king Trump.
That shit erodes trust.
Especially when the cops are the burglars.
40% of Cops
Its also aimed at Bill C-22 in Canada that the liberals are trying to speedrun into a law.
but YOU are the one GIVING the key to cops tim.
I think you’re missing the point. Apple has famously resisted implemented back doors for the authorities.
He’s warning against leaving that metaphorical key under the mat.
resisted? the era they pretend to do it is gone.
They’re all essentially trying to manipulate Trump by playing into his narcissism. This is bad and not what I want to see, but it might not be an (intentional) act of submission.
That we know of
I don’t put a key under the mat, even less for the cops.
Tim Cook wasn’t addressing you personally. It’s an analogy.
The analogy presumes you want cops to have free access to your home
If you don’t want the cops to have access to your home that means you have supporting to hide which means that can get a search warrant
It’s a game of whack-a-mole: if one place allows access, privacy seekers will move elsewhere.
If Apple were truly serious about an individual’s security and privacy, they’d facilitate self hosted online services as peers to the versions they provide on their platforms.
They can be best in class at what they do, but exclusively locking everyone into their ecosystem obliterates any meaningful good will.
If you put the key under the bed, the Esptenos will diddle you and declare you a national security threat.
Doesn’t apple backdoor UK users anyway?
I don’t think they went through with it.
I remember reading a related article reclaimthenet
This same Home Office served Apple with a secret order, a Technical Capability Notice, demanding a backdoor into end-to-end encrypted iCloud backups, first for every human on the planet and later, after Washington threw a tantrum, for British users alone. Secret being the operative word, since the law gagged Apple from so much as admitting the order existed.
Apple’s answer was to rip its strongest encryption out of the UK entirely rather than build the thing, sniffing that it has “never built a backdoor or master key to any of our products or services,” and the fight is still grinding through the courts. That is the track record of this government, one that asks one company, in the dark, to dismantle encryption for an entire nation is not a government you hand a camera-side scanner and trust to use it gently.
That’s why apple is so cutting edge. Wait, maybe they are just experts in the obvious?
To be fair, their main competition is Microsoft.
angry Linux noises
This Tim Cook?
*Tim Apple
Why would I leave a key under my mat for the cops in the first place?
Cops can just knock down the door.
Yeah, they’re used to being able to force their way in anywhere, but in the digital space, many people have steel security doors, and the police don’t have a battering ram big enough.
Also, kicking down the door leaves evidence and usually require some sort of justification or approval. If they have a key to a backdoor, they don’t have to tell anyone they were inside, or ask for permission to use it.
You wouldn’t, but that’s what governments are effectively asking be done, lending validity to the analogy.
I mean, it’s not like there’s cases of police committing abuse and misuse, are there…?
A rare insight into Tim Cook’s mind.
It’s an analogy to the government asking for backdoors into phones and such
