We're in the final stages of the Online Safety Bill and, honestly, I'm not optimistic. This is just the next attempt, and probably the successful one, at breaking end-to-end #encryption in the #UK. I admire the stances of @signalapp and the like, but the ones who are going to be most negatively affected by this are those who aren't as technically proficient. And that's the problem. Truly #privacy-preserving technologies should be accessible to everyone. #tech#surveillance
@5am@signalapp Ironically it's probably going to be MPs and ministers themselves who are going to be most at risk from compromised encrypted messaging.
I just don't have any evidence yet that they're an #ANØM-Style #Honeypot but I'd declare every LEA "criminally incompetent" if they didn't already #EncroChat themselves inside and put every phone # of every user on a watchlist.
Or does anyone think the CIA & NSA didn't find a successor operation to #MINERVA?
@5am@signalapp I hope it isn't too #moribund to say that the several societies that have managed to scale into the #anthropocene successfully thus far ultimately find very similar solutions to #govern their respective populations of people ....it seems the outcome will be a balance between actual ability to enforce vs proper technical proficiency to bypass said barriers, unfortunately #China ....hey, don't you feel safe using #Google#VPN? :blobcatfacepalm:
