  • Take a stand against the Obama/FBI anti-encryption charm offensive

    (1)There's nothing new or novel about the authorities having access to cell phone information and tech companies have complied without protest.  All of a sudden, smart phones are considered sacred devices by encryption absolutists and Snowden lovers.  (2)There are ways to allow law enforcement access without compromising personal privacy but the way articles like this tell it, that's beyond the capability of technology (even though everything else is possible).  Yes tech companies must do a little work to be in compliance - that's the societal bargain.  (3)Or they can simply design future encryption with that in mind but obviously Apple made a business decision to deal with this inevitability when it became a problem instead of baking it in to their initial design. That's simply a business blunder and now they'll hopefully have to pay the price.  (4)I'm no Obama lover, and I own Apple products, but I side with law enforcement on this one.
    (1) Compliance never meant breaking part of your product that is an essential to EVERY SINGLE ONE of their customer. 
    (2) Really? By all means. Please fill us in. Why are we even having this issue if you know how to do it?
    (3) This one made me laugh...."simply design future encryption...". What do you think encryption is? It's not a physical thing you can hold in your hands. It's numbers theory, probability theory, set theory, abstract algebra. notation, and the language of abstract mathematics.
    (4) Good. Because your clear lack of understanding certainly isn't going to help my side.
