Apple's outgoing chief executive has long been a proponent of pro-privacy systems, especially end-to-end encryption

    Yeah but we saw how quickly you bowed and kissed the ring of king Trump.

    That shit erodes trust.

    Why would I leave a key under my mat for the cops in the first place?

      Because the cops convinced the city council to pass a local ordinance mandating that all residents leave a key where the cops can find it.

        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.

      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

    We have an easy peasy solution to that.
    We will just make it illegal for burglars to look under the mat.
    And if they do look under the mat, we will also make it illegal fro them to take the key.
    Finally we will also make it illegal for burglars to use the key.

    See there an absolutely bullet proof solution, so why does the tech industry continue to claim this is a bad idea?
    As a politician I simply can’t understand why they are so contrary to this idea that will increase safety for everybody!!

    /s (just in case)

    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.

    Cops Keep Getting Arrested for Using Flock to Stalk People

    I think it’s important to note that quote was from 2015.

      So this was before he just made gurgling noises with Trump’s ball sack in his mouth like he does now.
