Chat control (lemmy.ml)

Pandora's iPhone, by Stuart Carlson, 2016. Still spot-on in 2026:

A backdoor for the good guys simply does not exist. Once you build it, hackers walk through, authoritarian governments walk through, and the rest follows.

The UK is pressuring for chat control right now. EU Chat Control initiatives keep popping up. We need to keep saying NO to this!

What’s the ETC or behind it? What else could be worse?

And why isn’t the FBI part of the repressive regimes man?

It's a respectable and necessary "intelligence agency" when we do it, nefarious and unjust spying when they do it. Same old propaganda.

I guess the difference is that FBI makes Apple install the backdoors, while the rest of the bigger guys just reap the spoils afterwards.
