| > No, I'm sorry. Kids being raped matters. I never said it didn't matter, but the problem is bigger than one issue. I have total distain for people who do this, but lets be clear that an encrypted phone isn't going to stop these people getting caught. They're already aware of how despicable their acts are and use the traditional trust systems to hide it. All the busts are through social engineering - agents who go undercover to infiltrate these networks and find the perpetrators. This must be one of the worst jobs in the world. > None of which is remotely related to phones being unbreakable by law enforcement. And as has been said by experts in cryptography, breakable by one third party means breakable by _everybody_. This means the partner who said they'd harm you if you told someone what they did to you. This means the pimp who's holding you against your will. This means the company who's allowing toxic substances to leak in to drinking water. This is _much bigger_ than one issue. In the digital world once something exists it can escape. Once it escapes you can't stop it, and it will escape. This is nothing like a normal search warrant. It's a warrant with no address, no reason and no time. It can be used whenever, wherever, and with no oversight on who does it. |
