Remember that whole "The FBI is saying US citizens should use E2EE apps!"
Yes well but now they are also saying "we're planning on mandating backdoors for us in them though" 🙄 https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2024/12/08/fbi-warns-iphone-android-users-change-whatsapp-facebook-messenger-signal-apps/

"Responsibly managed encryption" sigh
The responsible way to manage encryption is to not backdoor it

@Nudhul @sun I'm aware that this is what they already do. But the incoming people now have real political agendas against me and my friends. My disgruntlement has gone from passive to active.

@cwebber@social.coop even if you could magically make a hole in the wall and have it guarded by Snackwell's demon, Signal is open source. What's to stop anyone from literally adding // here is the FBI backdoor around the relevant lines of code.
Not that it wouldn't be totally suspicious if a bunch of new code was added with no explanation or anything, either.

@cwebber@social.coop We don't just want a magic backdoor, we want it be added to the code with magic, too!

@sun @Nudhul Yup, it's been coming for a while now. What else did we expect from a corporate-police-surveillance state?

@cwebber called it!

While I don't think it was particularly difficult to call, I was a bit disappointed at the number of people here who were thinking it was a "self own" or a change in policy upon it first being announced

@sun @faoluin @Nudhul I remember yelling at the TV that day about all the shit that was gonna happen (and did in fact happen) for like 5 hours with one of my very good politically-aware friends

@cwebber@social.coop We're breached by China because we added backdoor to our infrastructure, and we're going to solve this by adding more backdoors! Yay!!
