Well too bad.
- Neither did he last administration and neither will the next. They want us polarized and fighting each other so we don't fight them.
  
  lmao no government does
- I want a pony
So get a warrant.
There is no 'lawful access' without a warrant or my permission. there aren't laws saying padlocks need to support a government master key, and encryption is just a digital lock.
- That's literally what TSA approved locks are... Of course the master keys are freely available to everyone.
  
  yeah, which is why we need to make sure that doesn't happen to other locks (and make the TSA start doing security instead of security theater).
- With a pad lock they do have a key though. Bolt cutters.
  
  Bolt cutters are not a key, they are a method of bypassing the lock. they still need a warrant to do that, which is the point.
any 'lawful' access that's baked-in will also be used and exploited 'unlawfully'.
- They understand this 100%
  
  And they don't give a shit 100%
It's not my responsibility to make the FBI's job (or any cop's job) easier.
Also, folks should be using 3rd party open-source encryption, like VeraCrypt and a password manager that encrypts the database, like Keepass. Don't ever expect governments and corporations to respect your privacy.
fbi want direct access to encrypted data while simultaneously also all data to be encrypted in order to be protected from china?
do explain how this is all going to work because it's extremely confusing.
- The explanation is that they will just use this shit to target whomever they please regardless of reason. This is how fascism works.
  It is mean to be confusing. Stop trying to rationalize it, you're wasting energy.
Um, no.
Thanks for your interest, but I'll have to pass.
"So don't make us torture you for encryption keys got it?"
No.
For some reason I'm feeling so Amish... Seems like they were so right with technology risks :-)
I warn FBI. Fuck you.
What fbi?
