Recycled comment from an article a few weeks back about Former FBI General Counsel Jim Baker Choosing Encryption over Backdoors[0] [0] https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2019/10/former_fbi_ge... You can read the discussion on HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21377093 _________________________ This is why Tor and onionland is a lawless wild west. All so that journalists can report and trade documents, and so that repressive regimes can't easily censor access to news and information. This is the cost of encryption: you get all sorts of scoundrels in the mix in the name of privacy and security for the masses. Some might say this cost is too high: that scoundrels are running rampant and won't stop their criminal actions. But without this we get a broken backdoored Internet where no such privacy/security exists and could actually cause more damage to society since spying would be rampant. |
